Recent Developments 2024-2025
• Knowles and Syntiant - In late 2024, Knowles completed the divestiture of its Consumer MEMS Microphones business to Syntiant, a move that integrates low-power neural processors with MEMS microphones. This marks a major step toward offering complete edge-AI voice solutions for embodied robots.
• Goertek and Infineon - In early 2025, Goertek introduced new MEMS microphone modules featuring Infineon's sealed dual-membrane (SDM) technology, already adopted in flagship consumer devices. These modules deliver superior protection against dust and moisture, with signal-to-noise ratios reaching 70 dB, supporting the transition of embodied robots into outdoor and industrial applications.
• Hosiden - Hosiden expanded its digital MEMS portfolio in 2024 with the KRM56xx and KRM59xx series, offering high SNR and compact size. These products support far-field pickup, a requirement for humanoid robots operating in noisy environments.
• STMicroelectronics - STMicroelectronics continued its investment in high-reliability MEMS microphones, offering wide temperature range support and EMI-shielded packaging, increasingly targeting both automotive and robotics applications.
• Merry Electronics - In 2025, Merry Electronics gained traction with its high-SNR, low-power microphone module MMD202, optimized for wake-word detection and always-on listening in humanoid robots.

Market Trends
Shift Toward High-SNR and Sealed Designs
Embodied robots must operate in diverse acoustic environments, from factories to hospitals. MEMS microphones with sealed dual-membrane technology, delivering 70-75 dB SNR and IP-rated protection, are increasingly adopted. This shift reduces noise interference, improves voice command recognition, and ensures reliability in challenging settings.

Integration of Edge-AI Voice Processing
With the merger of MEMS microphones and AI processors, vendors are offering modules that combine microphones, DSP, and neural cores. This trend enables robots to perform voice recognition locally, minimizing latency and improving privacy. It also lowers development costs for OEMs by providing pre-integrated solutions.

Automotive-Grade Reliability Entering Robotics
Microphones originally designed for vehicles, offering extended temperature ranges and high durability, are being adapted for robotics. This crossover ensures embodied robots can withstand industrial environments, outdoor service, and continuous operation without degradation.

Commercialization of Humanoids
2025 marks a pivotal year as humanoid robots enter commercial trials. Far-field voice capture and beamforming are no longer optional but essential. MEMS microphone modules configured in six- and eight-element arrays are expected to become the standard for next-generation humanoids.

Energy-Efficient Always-On Listening
Dual-mode microphones that reduce current draw while maintaining sensitivity are shaping the design of humanoid assistants. Robots must remain alert for wake-words without draining batteries, making low-power MEMS microphone arrays a critical enabler of continuous operation.

Ecosystem Maturity and Standardization
Suppliers such as STMicroelectronics and Goertek now provide evaluation kits and reference arrays, allowing rapid prototyping and reducing barriers for new robotics manufacturers. This ecosystem standardization is accelerating the deployment of embodied robots across industries.
