Fast Dual-Core SBC Onboard

embedded computer for p3-dx, p3-at, peoplebot

Our new dual-core SBC could be dangerous in the wrong hands. It's nearly 3x faster, has gigabit Ethernet, more RAM expansion and L2 cache and still draws less power than its predecessors. Even disk-I/O is faster due to adoption of the latest SATA technologies. All for nearly the same price...

The dual core with fast I/O is particularly good news for vision researchers who need that extra processing to accommodate the flood of stereo data while driving, for instance to achieve nearly on-the-fly obstacle detection and avoidance through secondary processing of MobileRangerâ„¢-based data

The dual-core SBC, tightly integrated with the Pioneer SDK, is available on:

  • Seekur Jr (supports up to 2 onboard computers)
  • Seekur (supports up to 5 onboard computers)
Coming soon on:
