e-con Robotics is the central repository for our research team's robotics projects. This repository serves as a hub for ongoing initiatives, providing documentation, references, and links to individual project repositories. It is structured to provide a professional overview of our research and development activities.
We are a research team focused on advanced robotics solutions, including autonomous navigation, perception, and sensor integration. Our projects leverage ROS 2 and e-con Systems’ Robotic Computing Platform (RCP) for development and experimentation.
- Autonomous navigation and mapping (single and multi-robot systems)
- Docking and charging station integration
- Robot perception and sensor fusion
- Object tracking and human-following systems
- Low-level obstacle detection using depth and ToF sensors
These projects encompass both software and hardware aspects of robotics, including AI-based perception, motion planning, and integration with custom robotic platforms.
eRCP – Robotic Computing Platform (RCP) is based on the Ambarella CV72S AI Vision Processor. The platform provides:
- CV72S Vision Processor Module (VPM)
- Carrier board with multiple interfaces, sensor arrays, and motor control interfaces
- Full SDK supporting the ROS 2 stack, with pre-implemented navigation and mapping algorithms
- High customizability to meet specific automation requirements
- Support for integration of new hardware and software peripherals
The RCP provides a robust foundation for robotics development, enabling researchers and developers to build advanced robotic applications efficiently.
