Autonomous Robotics

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) bring a new level of flexibility to modern factories by automating material transport, logistics, and workflows. Unlike traditional Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) that follow fixed paths, AMRs use AI-driven navigation and sensor fusion to adapt in real time, making them perfect for dynamic industrial environments.

Key Hardware Requirements for AMRs

Computing Essentials for Smart Factory Autonomous Robots

Robotics and autonomous systems rely on a powerful hardware backbone for seamless industrial automation. Key hardware requirements include:

1. High-Performance Computing

Robotic controllers require real-time data processing to analyze their environment and make split-second decisions. ACROSSER embedded computers powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin™ deliver this high-performance AI and future-proof processing power for evolving industrial needs.

2. Comprehensive I/O Connectivity

Industrial AMR computing solutions must support diverse sensor inputs, such as LiDAR, cameras, and radar. Rich I/O interfaces ensure scalability, allowing seamless integration of additional sensors and peripherals for expanded functionality.

3. Reliable High-Speed Networking

AMR automation requires fast and stable wireless communication for seamless fleet coordination and cloud integration. Embedded computers should offer 5G, LTE, and Wi-Fi modules along with SIM card compatibility to facilitate real-time data exchange, autonomous coordination, and efficient task execution.
