Today’s mobile robots (e.g., drones and rovers) need multiple sensor types to determine their location relative to their destination and potential obstacles: inertial sensors and sensor fusion algorithms to accurately know its position in space, or the movement and orientation of an actuator; pressure sensors to measure relative height above ground or as a measurement device for speed or turbulence; and magnetic sensors to provide high reliability angular or rotational measurement. NXP multicore 32 and 64-bit Arm® processors have the embedded hardware IP blocks for vision systems, as well as the processing power and interfaces needed.
RDDRONE-FMUK66 flight management unit (FMU) reference design is a foundation used to build industrial robotic drones, rovers, and other small autonomous vehicles.
The NXP Surround View System is a technology, which provides a 360-degree wrap around a view that can be used for automotive, industrial, and consumer use cases.
The MPC-LS-VNP-RDB is a reference design engineered for Vehicle Network Processing (VNP) applications, used by carmakers, suppliers, and software ecosystem partners.
