Robot Perception

Cameras and sensors enable robots to see and understand their environment, supporting perception, navigation, inspection, and AI‑driven decision making.

  • GMSL
  • USB

GMSL

Cameras placed meters from the developer kit

  • Sends full-quality video over one cable across several meters.
  • One connector on the kit runs up to four cameras.
  • A dedicated Intel® Image Processing Unit (Intel® IPU) handles the imaging in hardware, keeping the CPU and Intel® Arc™ graphics free.

GMSL Sensor

Trusted Robotics

Deploy robotics workloads with deterministic control, functional safety, and end-to-end security.

Predictable control from sensors to actuators

  • Real-time Linux provides deterministic task scheduling.
  • Dedicated CPU cores keep control loops separate from AI workloads.
  • Intel® TCC reduces timing variation from cache, memory, and power management.
  • PTP synchronization, EtherCAT, and CAN support coordinated sensing and robot control.

Protection from boot to deployment

  • Secure Boot verifies the boot chain and prevents unauthorized software from loading.
  • Signed kernel modules protect the operating system from untrusted extensions.
  • Full-disk encryption protects models, configuration, and operational data at rest.
  • OS hardening and security updates reduce the system’s exposed attack surface.
