Renesas Electronics ROS-Based Robot Body Controller
Renesas Electronics ROS-Based Robot Body Controller is a system to enable the control of multiple servos based on the Robot Operating System (ROS). ROS is a set of software libraries and tools maintained by many companies as open-source that help designers build robot applications.
The Renesas RA6M5 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) integrates the high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M33 and communication interfaces such as Ethernet and USB used for Pub/Sub messaging between ROS nodes. The ISL81401 buck-boost controller and other power devices supply appropriate voltage to multiple servos and the entire system.
Features
- Supports eXtremely Resource-Constrained Environments with an existing DDS network (XRCE-DDS) client used for ROS by the high-performance RA6M5 32-bit MCU
- Can control multiple servos via 1-wire UART and RS-485
- Supports Pub/Sub communication via Ethernet, USB, and Wi-Fi modules
- Wide range supply voltage 4.5V to 40V
Applications
- Service robots for logistics and warehouse
- Defense and security
- Agriculture
- Healthcare
