Volta extends from drones to autonomous cars

Our friends at Volta robotics have extended their MAVLink-compatible autopilot series to autonomous cars. This is what they demonstrated at CES this week:

Product Description

LEAD TIME: 60 days (due to post-CES orders peak) + 2 days international shipping

REDUX: same as BASE1 Rover, but reduced computing performance.

BASE 1 STACK

BASE 1 is an advanced and complete stack to remotely control unmanned vehicles. By elevating control capabilities to an higher base, it’s a solid starting point to create new services, projects and applications.

  • Cloud Station Gateway (for browser-based control, connect your vehicle here)
    • Remote commands (e.g: GoTo, Takeoff, Dive, Set Mode)
    • Remote file transfer (including: Neural Networks, Groud Truth, Python Scripts, MAV Mission Files)
    • Remote triggers (Neural Networks, Python Scripts, Auto Missions)
  • Languages: Python (w/ OpenCV)
  • Self-Driving-Rover Sample Neural Network
  • Deep Learning Frameworks: Caffe, Tensorflow
  • Gstreamer, MavProxy, MavLink
  • Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

BASE 1 HARDWARE

  • Main BOARD:
    • ODROID XU4 OCTA CORE
    • 4G/LTE External Modem
    • 16 GB eMMC
  • All wired, turnkey.

TT-ROBOTIX ROVER VEHICLE
