ROBOTCORE Framework

Hardware Acceleration Framework for ROS

ROBOTCORE® empowers you with capabilities to build custom compute architectures for robots, or "IP cores". It deals with vendor proprietary libraries, accelerating computations, increasing performance and abstracting away the complexity of bringing your Robot Operating System (ROS) computational graphs to your favourite silicon architecture.

A ROS hardware acceleration framework that provides its customers with a development, build and deployment experience for hardware and hardware accelerators similar to the standard, non-accelerated ROS development flow.

ROBOTCORE Cloud

Accelerate your Robotic Computations with The Cloud

ROBOTCORE® Cloud allows roboticists to launch parts of their ROS 2 computational graphs into the cloud while addressing interoperability and scalability issues. It supports the most popular cloud providers including Azure, GCP and AWS.

Technically, it extends ROS 2 to a) provision cloud machines from either the ROS 2 CLI or the ROS 2 launch system, b) set up a secure private network and address interoperability issues and c) deploy the graphs as specified in the ROS 2 launch system extensions. Best of all, it aligns with ROBOTCORE® , empowering developers with a unique flow to deploy their accelerators into cloud instances in a compute substrate-agnostic manner (across CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs).

Hardware acceleration services

Hardware acceleration will revolutionize robotics, enabling faster robots. However, the diversity of acceleration options makes it difficult for roboticists to easily deploy accelerated systems without expertise in each specific hardware platform.

Our robot hardware acceleration services will help you bring up the full potential of your robots by consulting or designing hardware for you.
