– RealSense D435I camera
– AI Core X Mini PCIe card with the Intel® Movidius™ Myriad™ X
– Intel AC3165 WiFi kit
– Power Supply
– US & EU power Cord

Preinstalled Software

– Ubuntu* 16.04 desktop
– Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit 2019 R1.1 release
– Intel® Media SDK
– Drivers for Intel® VTune™ Amplifier, Intel® Energy Profiler, Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers
– MRAA and UPM I/O and sensor libraries for C++, Python*, Java*, and JavaScript*

AWS RoboMaker Service

easily develop, test, and deploy robotics applications

What can you achieve with this kit?

Robotic application development and Simulation on AWS RoboMaker (except OpenVINO Stack due to missing support of OpenVINO on AWS RoboMaker)
Deployment of Robotic application to RoboMaker Dev Kit (deployment will skip/disable the motor control part and it will use an emulated node instead)
Once deployed the Application will run also the OpenVINO stack (people/object 2D/3D detection and recognition) via post-launch script
The Application won’t run the navigation stack due to the lack of motors and motor control board but the developer can use 3D SLAM stack with RealSense Camera

Upgrade the kit to a robot on wheels!

Quote from CEO of Congiteam:

At Amazon re:MARS 2019, Cogniteam, a company focused on autonomy, showcased its latest UGV—Lynx. Lynx is built on top of the UP Squared Developer Kit for AWS RoboMaker. Dr. Yehuda Elmaliah, the CEO of Congiteam said:

The UP Squared Development Kit includes vision compute HW on board. This enables us to free our CPU for decision making while processing data and building the world model of the robot in an optimized manner… having production ready boards integrated with Movidius and a depth camera enables to jump from low level control of the robot to a full autonomous robot with cloud connectivity within days.
