Reference Designs & SDKs
Robora provides rich reference designs and SDK integrations to accelerate development and ensure reliability across hardware and software workflows:
1. NVIDIA Isaac & GROOT Integration
Isaac SDK Licensing: Partner with NVIDIA to license the Isaac ROS-compatible SDK, giving access to URDF-based robot models, prebuilt joint controllers, and sensor drivers.
Adaptable GROOT Modules: Although GROOT’s proprietary platform isn’t public, we offer certified substitutes using Isaac’s simulation assets—drag in humanoid-limb assemblies or gripper modules that have passed NVIDIA’s performance and safety benchmarks.
Accelerated Simulation: Leverage Isaac Sim’s photorealistic Gazebo environments for rapid prototyping of SLA-based workflows, including perception algorithms, motion planning, and collision testing.
2. Google Gemini on Coral Edge TPU
Coral Accelerator Bricks: Expose Coral Edge TPU modules as pluggable compute bricks in the 3D builder, enabling TensorFlow Lite and ONNX runtimes on-device.
Gemini Model Support: Preload ‘Gemini-lite’ vision and control models optimized for on-edge inference—perfect for low-latency tasks such as object detection, tracking, and simple navigation loops.
Edge-to-Cloud Bridge: Provide seamless SDK functions to offload heavier model updates or retraining jobs to Google Cloud TPU backends, synchronizing weights bi-directionally.
3. ROS 2 Ecosystem & Middleware
Native ROS 2 Foxy & Humble: Full support for ROS 2 nodes, message types, and launch files. Users can write custom C++ or Python nodes against our standardized hardware interfaces.
DDS Communication: Utilize Data Distribution Service (DDS) for real-time data exchange between modules, ensuring high-throughput telemetry for SLAM, path planning, and teleoperation.
4. Simulation & Digital Twin Tools
Gazebo & Webots Plugins: Prebuilt plugins to export designs directly into Gazebo or Webots, complete with physics parameters, sensor noise models, and environmental assets.
Digital Twin API: RESTful and WebSocket endpoints to query live simulation status, retrieve sensor feeds, and inject control commands—ideal for CI pipelines and remote testing.
5. Developer SDK & CLI
Cross-Platform Libraries: Provide Node.js, Python, and C++ SDKs for querying part catalogs, submitting compute jobs, and managing on-chain deployments.
CLI Tool: A command-line interface for quick integration into CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated build validation, safety compliance checks, and deployment scripts.
6. Certification & Compliance Extensions
Safety Test Suites: Include ROS-based test rigs and IEC/ISO compliance scripts that automatically generate reports mapping each module’s test coverage to relevant safety requirements.
Audit Trail Generators: SDK functions to package simulation logs, test artifacts, and design metadata into standardized safety dossiers ready for third-party auditors.
By combining these reference assets and SDKs, Robora empowers developers to move seamlessly from concept to certified, production-ready builds—minimizing integration effort and ensuring high levels of performance and safety.
