Synaptics Scan Core Enhances Wi-Fi Roaming for Autonomous Mobile Robots

By ASR Newsdesk · 9 Nov 2026, 18:00 UTC

Synaptics has introduced Scan Core, a dedicated scan architecture designed to minimize Wi-Fi roaming interruptions for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). This approach separates network discovery from application traffic, allowing a low-power subsystem to continuously monitor neighboring access points while the primary Wi-Fi radio maintains an active connection. Synaptics claims this leads to faster roaming decisions, lower latency, reduced packet loss, and improved power efficiency, which are critical for AMRs operating in dynamic environments across sectors like logistics and healthcare.
