Today, amd announced the launch of KRIA kr260 robot entry kit , priced at $349, with a 20 week lead time. This is the latest product of KRIA adaptive system module (SOM) and development kit. Kr260 is specially built for robots and industrial applications. It is an extensible and out of the box robot development platform. With the help of high-performance interface and support for native ROS 2, robot and software developers can immediately start development in a familiar environment.
Chetan khona, AMD's senior director of industry, vision, healthcare and science markets, said:
KRIA kr260 robot starter kit is based on the success of KRIA SOM and kv260 visual AI Starter Kit we provide for AI and embedded developers. It provides robot experts with a complete out of the box solution, so as to help this rapidly developing application field.
Now, roboticists can work in their standard development environment based on a platform that has all the interfaces and functions required from Startup to operation in an hour. Kr260 starter kit is an ideal platform to accelerate robot innovation and easily put ideas into mass production.
Kr260 robot provides a ROS based development environment for robot and embedded developers. Developers can use adaptive hardware to build their own applications quickly and easily. KRIA kr260's end-to-end adaptive robot platform is expected to bring significant productivity improvements compared to GPU based solutions. In addition, KRIA SOM product portfolio speeds up the design cycle compared with chip down design, which usually saves up to 9 months of deployment time, which means that all kinds of developers can start using it quickly and easily even without FPGA expertise.
