Precise Robot Localization Made Easy | VIOBOT2 Spatial Computing Module

The RoboBaton-VIOBOT2 is a visual-spatial computing component designed for a wide range of intelligent terminals. It integrates a high-performance RK3588 chip, a binocular fisheye camera, an IMU, and dual-band GNSS. Through powerful proprietary visual algorithms, it provides robots with out-of-the-box real-time pose estimation, depth mapping, and 3D reconstruction capabilities. Built to withstand harsh environments, it minimizes development cycles and accelerates project deployment.

Making Spatial Computing Accessible for Powerful 3D Perception in Every Smart Device

In the field of modern robotics, precise and reliable localization and navigation are fundamental to all autonomous operations. To break down technical barriers and lower the entry threshold for development, we created the RoboBaton-VIOBOT2 visual-spatial computing component—an advanced development platform that integrates cutting-edge hardware and algorithms.

The core mission of the RoboBaton-VIOBOT2 is to make complex spatial computing technology accessible. By tightly coupling Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) with an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), it provides robots with real-time 6-DoF (Degrees of Freedom) pose, a depth map for obstacle avoidance, and detailed 3D reconstruction data. Everything comes pre-configured for true out-of-the-box functionality, allowing developers to focus their valuable time on high-level application innovation rather than low-level technical debugging.

The Powerhouse Core: High-Octane Performance with the RK3588

To handle complex algorithms and massive data processing demands, the RoboBaton-VIOBOT2 is equipped with the high-performance RK3588 processing chip.

•  Powerful Processing Core: Features an 8-core 2.4 GHz CPU, a Mali GPU, and a high-performance NPU with up to 6 TOPS of computing power.

•  Open Development Environment: Comes pre-installed with Ubuntu OS and ROS (Robot Operating System) and offers a rich selection of I/O interfaces (e.g., UART, CAN, USB).

•  Ultimate Efficiency and Compact Size: With a low operating power consumption of just 11W and a compact form factor, it can be easily integrated into both power-sensitive drones and space-constrained robots, unlocking endless possibilities for custom development and commercial deployment.

Precision Perception: Fully Optimized from Hardware to Algorithm

•  Professional-Grade Vision Module: We are the first to introduce a metal reinforcement process into a spatial computing module, increasing the camera’s resistance to deformation by 245%. The binocular distance has been increased to 60mm to simulate human interpupillary distance, and combined with an upgraded fisheye lens, the field of view (FOV) is expanded to 164.7°, ensuring a wide and stable visual input.

•  Hardware-Level Time Synchronization: The built-in, hardware-synchronized binocular vision sensors and IMU ensure millisecond-level low-latency data output. Our proprietary pure-vision algorithm, based on deep neural networks, generates more stable and accurate depth maps compared to traditional methods.

•  High-Precision Positioning Fusion: The proprietary visual-spatial localization algorithm module directly outputs precise 6-DoF pose, high-quality depth maps, and other standard ROS topics. The system is further coupled with dual-band GNSS to provide continuous and stable decimeter-level navigation with seamless switching between indoor and outdoor environments. Additionally, the algorithm fully supports RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) technology, which can enhance positioning accuracy to the centimeter level, meeting the demands of high-precision surveying and operations.

Fearless in Any Challenge: Unmatched All-Scenario Adaptability

The operational environments for robots are diverse and complex, making adaptability crucial. The RoboBaton-VIOBOT2 has been meticulously designed and rigorously tested to ensure stable performance in all types of extreme conditions.

•  Complex Environment Adaptability: Guarantees stable operation and precise positioning for robotic platforms in a variety of challenging settings, including open outdoor spaces, GNSS-denied underground parking garages, and environments with drastic lighting changes.

•  Exceptional Robustness: Its rugged design ensures dependable and continuous operation, unafraid of challenging conditions such as violent shocks or accidental drops.

•  Broad Platform Support: Has been successfully deployed and validated on various unmanned platforms, including drones, unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and quadruped robots, empowering them with autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance in complex environments.

Innovating Together: Exploring the Infinite Possibilities of Spatial Computing

The RoboBaton-VIOBOT2 has already demonstrated its vast application potential in multiple fields, including yard robots, drones, and humanoid robots. We firmly believe that exceptional tools are the catalysts for innovation.

RoboBaton look forward to collaborating with more developers, research institutions, and enterprises worldwide to explore the infinite possibilities of spatial computing and bring true intelligence into the 3D world.
