RDBOX (A Robotics Developers BOX)

RDBOX is a powerful partner in the IT field for "ROS (Robot Operating System) robots". You will be able to automatically construct a secure, highly scalable Wi-Fi network and Kubernetes cluster for container applications. For example, You will get a simpler and creative development experience than deploying with traditional roslaunch. Furthermore, it becomes easy to control a lot of groups of robots. Make Robot Engineers' Work a Lot Easier. You can control Network Robot with ease by RDBOX

Features

Orchestrate all resources running "ROS robots".

• Orchestrate ROS nodes on robots and conputer resources by Kubernetes.
  • Allow mixing of x86 and ARM architecture CPU.
  • k8s master will run on AWS EC2 or VirtualBox on your PC.
• Connect with the robots and others by Mesh Wi-Fi Network.
• Connect with the Clouds/On-Premise by VPN Network.

Make It yourself!!

• The RDBOX Edge devices builds with Raspberry Pi 3B.
• There is no worry that the back port will be installed. (All source code and hardware are disclosed.)
• Raspberry Pi provides you edge computing and Wi-Fi network and environmental sensors and more.
• Provide assembly procedure and original SD card image.

NETWORK CONNECT

• Easily set up a dedicated local area network for robots.
  • Simply connect RDBOX in between the internet and your service robot. In one simple step, you can build a local area network and development environment. No knowledge of internet or networking is necessary.
• Many network applications, including NTP, are offered with the product. Automate your network robot management.
• All you need is a power source. Cover the whole movable range of mobile robots with a Wi-Fi network.
