Axiomtek ROBOX300 robotics controller

Axiomtek has launched the ROBOX300, a compact and energy-efficient robotics controller designed for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Powered by the Intel Core i5-1145G7E processor with a 15 W TDP, the controller is designed to perform in challenging industrial environments with an operating temperature range of -40 to +60°C, and supports a broad voltage input of 9–60 VDC with Smart Ignition Management function. It also features USB power on/off control to enhance system stability and efficiency. The controller also comes pre-installed with Axiomtek’s ROS 2-based DigiHub for AMR software, simplifying robotic application development and integration for warehouse and factory automation.

The controller features dual 260-pin DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM slots, providing up to 64 GB of system memory capacity. With support for an optional 2.5″ SATA drive and one M.2 Key M 2280 socket for NVMe, this industrial computer provides ample storage for extensive data processing needs. Moreover, it features one M.2 Key E 2230 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module and a full-size PCI Express Mini Card slot (USB + PCIe signal) for expanded connectivity options.

The device also features versatile I/O capabilities, including six serial ports (4-wire RS-232: TX/RX/RTS/CTS, RS-422, RS-485) with isolated 1.5 kVDC, two CANbus with isolated 1.5 kVDC (supporting the CAN 2.0A and CAN 2.0B protocols), one 8-bit GPIO, two HDMI 1.4b ports, four USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, three 2.5GbE LAN ports (Intel I226-IT), one RS-232 for console port, and six antenna openings. The robotics controller also supports Linux Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

The ROS 2 AMR controller ROBOX300 is available now.
