Qualcomm® Robotics RB1 Platform Highlights
Powerful heterogenous computing
The Qualcomm Robotics RB1 platform is a robust entry-level offering, enabling reliable performance with upgraded features at low power consumption in its tier. Equipped with Cortex A53 CPU architecture and Adreno 702 GPU, this is a cost-effective solution delivering high performance and graphics capabilities.
High performance camera capabilities
Delivers best-in-class image quality and resolution with two concurrent cameras. Multi-frame Noise Reduction for low light capture, image stabilization, forward-looking bad pixel correction, sharp edges, radial de-noising, etc. are key features.
Common software support with Qualcomm® Robotics RB2 platform
The Qualcomm® Robotics RB1 and Qualcomm Robotics RB2 platforms share common software. Developers can decrease development time and reduce costs associated with creating applications across both platforms. It also allows OEMs to address multiple tiers of the market with RB1 and RB2 platforms.
Full development kit for robotics and IoT
Further reduce development time and complexity using a feature packed development kit. The kit includes the robotics-focused development board based on the QRB2210 processor. The platform offers support for Linux and Robot Operating System (ROS) 2, as well as pre-integrated drivers for various cameras, sensors and connectivity.
Power efficient and cost-effective
Designed to support entry tier robots and IoT devices with challenging power and thermal dissipation requirements.
