Highlights
On-device AI intelligence
The Qualcomm Robotics RB5Platformsupports the leading
5th generation Qualcomm AI Enginewith the brand-new
Hexagon Tensor Accelerator,pushing15 trillion operations per
second with maximum efficiencyto runcomplex AI and deep
learning workloads at the edge.
Dedicated high performance computer
vision
Provides hardware accelerationfor advanced computer
visionapplications using the dedicated computer vision
hardware blockEVA(Engine forVideo Analytics).EVA provides
enhancements forCV applications with reduced latencies
for real time image processing decisionsunder decreased
power for demanding budgets freeing up the DSP, GPU, and
CPUcapacity for othercritical AI applications.
Designed for industrial conditions
Operates in harsh industrial conditions & supports
temperature range of -30°C to 105°C and has an option for
extended lifecycle support until 2029. Communicates via
industrial protocols such as EtherCAT & TSN and supports
security at every layer.
Flexible commercialization design
options
In addition to a feature packed development kit, the platform
offers a range of solutions for commercialization from off-
the-shelf System-on-Module (SoM) solutions to speed
commercialization, to the flexibility for chip-on-board designs for
cost-optimization at scale and also package-on-package (POP)
and non-POP designs.
The Qualcomm Robotics RB5 Platform supports
the development of next generation of high-
compute, AI-enabled, low power robots and
drones for the consumer, enterprise, defense,
industrial and professional service sectors that
can be connected by 5G.
The platform’s QRB5165 processor, customized
for robotics applications, oers a powerful
heterogeneous computing architecture coupled
with the leading fih-5th generation Qualcomm®
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Engine delivering 15
Tera Trillion Operations Per Second (TOPS) of AI
performance to eciently run complex AI and
deep learning workloads and on-device edge
inferencing while using lower power, on device
machine learning, and accurate edge inferencing.
The processor also oers a powerful image signal
processor (ISP) with support for seven concurrent
cameras, a dedicated computer vision engine for
enhanced video analytics (EVA), as well as the
new Qualcomm® Hexagon™ Tensor Accelerator
(HTA). With support for 4G and 5G connectivity
speeds via a companion module, the Qualcomm
Robotics RB5 platform helps pave the way for
the proliferation of 5G in robotics and intelligent
systems.
The
Qualcomm Robotics RB5 hardware
development kit
, based on the QRB5165
processor, contains a robotics-focused
development board and is compliant with the
96Boards open hardware specification to support
a broad range of mezzanine-board expansions
for developing innovative proof-of-concepts
and rapid prototyping. Developers have flexible
soware capabilities with the platform oering
support for Linux, Ubuntu and Robot Operating
System (ROS) 2, as well as pre-integrated drivers
for various cameras, sensors and connectivity.
