The first Intel Core Ultra processor to integrate GPU and NPU

To process high-resolution images and perform AI analysis, the AFE-R360 leverages a new generation Intel Core Ultra processor (Meteor Lake). This hybrid core processor delivers 32p TOPs computing power and a 20% increase in CPU performance over its predecessor. As the first Intel CPU with a built-in NPU, it is designed specifically for artificial intelligence, with excellent graphics processing capabilities, power consumption and performance. For users who need higher performance to run more complex AI models, the AFE-R360 can be implemented with extensions such as the M.2 Hailo module and the MIOe-UMXM of the USB4 interface for additional NPU and GPU capabilities.

A06B-6058-H223 AFE-R770: Anti-interference high reliability design, higher stability operation

The AFE-R770 system uses a 12/13/14th-generation Intel Core i processor with a TDP of up to 35W. With the heat dissipation design, the fanless system can withstand the temperature range of -20~65°C; Systems with fan solutions can withstand temperatures from -20 to 70°C. Both thermal solutions maintain an ultra-thin profile with a height of 55mm. The system also supports a wide voltage range of 9-36VDC to accommodate voltage fluctuations in different battery combinations. In addition, Advantech has integrated antistatic solutions into the AFE-R770. With 8kv/15kv ESD protection, the system’s critical ics are protected from damage or interference from external ESD events. Considering that the AMR needs to operate around the clock in unmanned conditions, the AFE-R770 provides a reliable solution to ensure the stable operation of the system.

Pre-adapted to embedded Xsens IMU

For sensor integration, the AFE-R770 focuses on motion sensing via the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). Imus are crucial in autonomous robots, providing data on direction, acceleration, and angular velocity to improve the accuracy of AMR positioning and navigation. By integrating the IMU during the AMR development phase, electromagnetic interference from the circuit can be avoided and the calibration parameters of the AFE-R770 can be obtained through the included software package. Jointly developed by Movella and Advantech, the AFE-R770 aims to provide highly accurate motion and position information to enhance AMR navigation in both indoor and outdoor environments.
