Welcome to Capable Robot Components

Better products for effective robots.

 

In partnership with Antmicro, Capable Robot is pleased to offer their Jetson Nano / Xavier NX Baseboard for purchase.

The baseboard is designed to unlock the power of NVIDIA’s versatile modules, putting them at the heart of cutting-edge projects and driving innovation in areas such as Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, drones, medical and industrial object recognition systems.

More Information

 

This is not your standard USB Hub, it has:

  • Per-port USB data pair disconnects
  • Per-port power monitoring & control
  • 6A of 5V power regulation for downstream devices
  • A suite of physical world IO (I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO)
  • Open-source Python firmware
  • 10x RGB LEDs showing data and power states of all ports

The Programmable USB Hub is perfect for embedded system development, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and use in industrial environments where highly-reliable USB communications is needed.

 

Capable Robot Components enables rapid development of autonomous robots by providing technological building blocks to system integrators. Right now, integrators have to develop things they would rather purchase because the right robot-first products don't currently exist.

CRC provides proven products which are domain-agnostic, but configurable and adaptable to the integrator's market needs. This allows autonomous system developers to spend more time and effort on domain-specific engineering and testing.

SenseTemp is on CrowdSupply

SenseTemp is an open source, four-channel temperature sensor designed for instrumenting electronics. It uses extremely accurate platinum resistive temperature detector (RTD) elements which are small enough to place directly on ICs, heatsinks, and other points of interest on an electronic circuit board.

You can now purchase SenseTemp on CrowdSupply
