Within the fast-evolving robotics market, each velocity of prototyping and efficiency are paramount. This new eRCP takes benefit of Ambarella’s developer-friendly Cooper™ Developer Platform whereas providing cutting-edge imaginative and prescient and AI efficiency per watt, thus enabling OEMs and ODMs to speed up their time to market.
e-con Methods, a number one international supplier of embedded imaginative and prescient options, and Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA), an edge AI semiconductor firm, at the moment introduced their partnership and the launch of the e-con Robotics Computing Platform (eRCP). Based mostly on Ambarella’s flagship CV72S edge AI system on chip (SoC), this new platform is particularly designed to fulfill the necessities of the robotics trade.

“Via the fusion of e-con Methods’ cutting-edge digicam portfolio—boasting improvements like GMSL, FPD Hyperlink III, 4K decision, excessive body charges, HDR, international shutters, Time of Flight (ToF), LFM, IP67, IP69K scores, and extra—with Ambarella’s experience in processing platforms and cutting-edge algorithms, e-con is addressing buyer challenges in robotics purposes whereas pioneering the way forward for complete imaginative and prescient options,” stated Ashok Babu, CEO at e-con Methods.
“We’re happy to be partnering with e-con methods, a pacesetter in vision-based methods and robotics ,” stated Jerome Gigot, Sr. Director of Advertising at Ambarella. “Moreover, we’re excited to exhibit their CV72-based Rover robotic at our exhibition throughout CES this week.”
On the coronary heart of the eRCP, e-con’s Ambarella CV72-based SoM consists of the processor sub-system, energy administration built-in circuits (PMICs), double information fee (DDR) reminiscence, storage and related interface connectors for the service board. The eRCP itself is a totally purposeful autonomous transferring robotic outfitted with subtle interfaces, together with an array of sensors, a number of RGB cameras, 2D Lidar, IMU, Ultrasonic, ToF depth digicam and motor management interfaces. This platform supplies the versatile constructing blocks and durable foundations wanted for innovation within the robotics market, enabling prospects to effortlessly develop tailored robotics purposes. e-con Methods additionally affords assist and design companies to assist OEMs get to market rapidly based mostly on this new platform.
With the strong Robotic Working System 2 (ROS2) stack and Ambarella’s Cooper Developer Platform, the eRCP delivers a customizable platform that includes a contemporary modular structure and an in depth array of peripherals. e-con Methods is introducing this eRCP platform through the Shopper Electronics Present (CES) 2024 in Las Vegas, with a reside Robotic Rover demo at Ambarella’s invitation-only exhibition.
Along with these developments, e-con Methods is planning to supply a whole AI imaginative and prescient package based mostly on Ambarella’s SoCs for varied different purposes within the close to future; together with entry management, business sectors, safety, video conferencing and healthcare. This growth will additional broaden the horizons for purchasers searching for cutting-edge AI imaginative and prescient processing options.
Leveraging Ambarella’s intensive expertise and sources in AI notion methods, e-con is effectively positioned to assist the speedy progress of AI IoT purposes. This partnership supplies prospects with state-of-the-art know-how throughout numerous markets, together with AMR, warehouse robots, pick-and-place robots and industrial automation.
