- Real-time kernel: A real-time kernel offers deterministic response times, making it essential for consistent data acquisition. Its optimized nature minimizes system latencies, ensuring timely processing in critical applications. This predictability is key to avoiding unexpected delays or interruptions.
- ROS 2 Native: This essentially means that the IMU is driverless, eliminating the need to install and run a separate ROS2 node on your host computer.
- TPU: a specialized chip designed for accelerating neural network computations. This integration allows us to run advanced neural network models directly within the camera, enhancing its capabilities for real-time image analysis and processing.
- Simple Integration: Ensures swift heat dissipation, maintaining the device’s optimal operating temperature. This robust design not only enhances performance but also extends the device’s longevity by effectively combating thermal stress.
Main Features
WebGUI: The Olive embedded web-based GUI is a user-friendly interface for configuring, controlling, and testing out our modular robotic building blocks. It provides a wide range of capabilities for setting up and controlling our hardware components, including setting parameters, sending commands, and visualizing sensor data. It also offers an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that is based on the JupyterLab platform. It allows users to manage embedded files on the device, create projects, write Python or C++ based embedded applications, and run them on the modules.
Tensor Processing Unit (TPU): A Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is a custom-designed application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) developed by Google to accelerate machine learning workloads. Unlike traditional CPUs and GPUs that manage a broad range of tasks, TPUs are optimized for the high-speed matrix multiplications and computations central to neural network operations. Their architecture offers substantial advantages in terms of performance per watt and computational throughput, making them particularly effective for training and inferring large-scale machine learning models, especially within Google’s machine learning framework, TensorFlow.
Integrated IMU: The Olive camera comes with an integrated IMU, crucial for visual SLAM algorithms. While cameras provide detailed visual data, they can experience drift or occlusions. The IMU offers high-frequency orientation and acceleration information. By merging both data sources, accuracy and resilience against visual ambiguities improve, leading to a more reliable estimation of camera movement and scene mapping.
ROS 2 Native: Embracing the advancements of modern sensor technology, our IMU offers native support for ROS2 (Robot Operating System 2). This essentially means that the IMU is driverless, eliminating the need to install and run a separate ROS2 node on your host computer. By sidestepping this additional layer of software, not only is the system latency minimized, but the throughput of data is also optimized to its maximum potential. This direct integration ensures that data flows seamlessly and promptly from the sensor to the system. Furthermore, the native ROS2 capability makes the IMU truly plug-and-play, streamlining integration processes and enhancing user experience, especially in dynamic environments where rapid deployment and configuration are crucial.
