Controllers & Compute FAQ

How do I partition real-time motion control and AI perception compute on a robot?

Specify motion-loop deadlines separately from perception and policy-inference latency. Compare controller scheduling, bus timing, CPU/GPU load, fault handling and recovery under the complete robot workload.

What I/O interfaces should I check on a robotics edge compute box?

Verify isolated CAN FD / CAN ports, EtherCAT RJ45 or M12 ports, GMSL2/MIPI camera inputs, hardware trigger/PPS sync pins, wide-range DC input voltage, and thermal dissipation.

Are English SDKs, Ubuntu images, and board support packages (BSPs) provided?

Availability of English documentation, JetPack or Ubuntu LTS images, and open kernel drivers varies by hardware platform. Include your target OS, middleware (ROS 2 Humble/Jazzy), and SDK requirements in your inquiry.
