Features

• Embedded ROS on AM57x SoC
• Seamless integration of the mmWave sensor including antenna-on-package with the AM57x and communicating using ROS
  • Integration with IWR6843, IWR1443, or IWR1843 EVM enables a 120º field of view (FOV) for obstacle detection across a wide azimuth coverage area
  • Integration with IWR6843AOPEVM enables a 130º FOV coverage in both azimuth and elevation to enable smarter decision making based on object height.
• AM57x processor controls the mobile Kobuki platform to navigate and avoid obstacles sensed by mmWave sensors
• Real-time visualization of navigation on a remote Ubuntu Linux box with ROS Rviz
• Step-by-step guide to establish a fully-operational robotic system with sensory data and mobile base
• Open source ROS implementation enables easy adjustment/enhancement of existing modules and addition of new modules
