D-Robotics RDK X5 AI Developer Kit for ROS Robotics - 8GB, 10Tops - DFRobot

The D-Robotics RDK X5 development board is the ultimate AI development kit for creating intelligent machines, designed to accelerate ROS-based robotics projects. This high-performance AI robotics board enhances the development flow by integrating a powerful 10 TOPS NPU, which enables complex artificial intelligence models, such as Transformers, to run directly locally (edge computing). As the ideal core for any ROS robotic kit, it offers the computing power and smooth integration needed to transform robots from concept to reality, more rapido and efficiently.

Elite AI performance at the edge

By enabling robots to go beyond the cloud and achieve true autonomy, the RDK X5 offers a significant jump in overall performance. It features a 10 TOPS NPU dedicated to accelerating artificial intelligence algorithms. This power enables real-time execution of complex AI models directly on the hardware, providing exceptional computational support for the most demanding robotic applications.

Seamless integration and versatile connectivity

Designed for maximum reliability, the RDK X5 is designed to integrate easily into any ROS design. It features dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 for stable, high-speed wireless communication. For more robust industrial integration, the board includes a high-speed CAN FD interface and Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, simplifying wiring and installation into any standalone system.

Advanced machine vision and perception

The RDK X5 makes robotic perception more effective with dual MIPI inputs, ensuring compatibility with advanced stereo vision algorithms. Its Advantageous Algorithm Matrix uses deep learning to ensure accurate motion estimation and key point matching, providing robust performance even in challenging conditions such as low light, backlight, or weak textures.

Lean and open development environment

Development efficiency is enhanced by the innovative "Flash Connect" paradigm, which uses a single Type-C cable for system programming, data transfer and debugging. The RDK X5 offers a flexible foundation for custom applications with full Ubuntu support, multiple memory configurations (up to 8 GB RAM), and a powerful open-source ecosystem for immediate development.
