ROS Body Controller for Robotic Systems

The adoption of robots across various industries and applications is rapidly increasing as demands for greater efficiency and precision in processes and tasks grow. Robotic systems are becoming more complex, performing multiple tasks and processes involving various subsystems, which necessitates a centralized body controller to manage the overall coordination and integration of the entire robotic system.

This centralized Robot Operating System (ROS) body controller enables the control of multiple servos based on ROS, an open-source set of software libraries and tools, to provide centralized control, communication, and reliable power delivery.

System Benefits​:

• ROS offers a standardized way to control robots, making this design ideal for coordinating complex robotic behaviors and ensuring seamless communication between different components.
• Seamless DDS and ROS integration, powered by the high-performance 32-bit MCU, ensures efficient operation in resource-constrained environments.
• Multiple servo control via 1-wire UART and RS-485 reduces system complexity and cost.
• Supports Pub/Sub communication via Ethernet, USB, and Wi-Fi modules.
• Wide supply voltage range from 4.5V to 40V provides compatibility with various devices.
