01 Autonomous Applications

Where Robotics Computers Are Deployed

Autonomy runs on five kinds of platform: the mobile robot, the drone, the autonomous vehicle, the construction or agricultural machine and the fixed system that tracks what moves. Each has its own size, weight, power and sensor constraints, so the right computer differs from one to the next.

Edge AI Computers Coordinating Robot Fleets

An autonomous mobile robot carries its own perception and path planning, and the fleet coordinates over Wi-Fi with a site controller. Compact Jetson and x86 edge AI computers with CAN bus, GMSL and PoE camera inputs run navigation on the robot, while a fanless controller with triple NVMe storage and AI accelerators coordinates a cold-chain fleet from the warehouse.

Built Around the Interfaces Autonomy Uses

A robotics computer is specified by its sensors and its platform: the cameras it captures, the bus it talks to the machine on and the power it survives. We select products whose datasheets state each interface, and the cards below list the ones that decide the build.

NVIDIA Jetson and JetPack

Jetson modules from Orin Nano to Thor with JetPack and ROS 2 support, so perception and planning stacks run on the platform without a redesign.

Single-Pair Ethernet

Automotive-grade single-pair Ethernet for sensor networks on vehicles and machines where weight and cable count matter.

E-Mark and Ignition Control

Electrical immunity on a vehicle supply and a configurable ignition on and off delay for computers fitted to autonomous vehicles.

IP66 and IP67 Sealing

Ingress protection for computers mounted on the outside of a robot, drone or machine, with no cabinet to keep the weather out.

Autonomy-Ready Hardware

Four product types cover most autonomous and unmanned projects. Open one to see the ranges we specify for robotics, or go to the full category.

02 Autonomy Projects and Guides

Autonomy Case Studies and Guides

See how we help companies launch new products, transform operations and adapt autonomous systems, and read our guides to the cameras and platforms behind them.

An Extension of Your Engineering Team

Our engineers work as part of your team, not as a reseller. We check the camera, bus and power interfaces against your robot or vehicle before you commit to a build.

Built, Imaged and Ready to Deploy

Modules, memory, storage and cards are fitted and the JetPack or OS image loaded before shipping, so each unit is tested as a complete build and ready to fit on the day it arrives.

Supported from Prototype to Fleet

Repeatable builds, revision control and last-time-buy planning keep later units matching the first as a robot or vehicle platform moves from prototype to fleet.
