The RCB400 T20-05 all-in-one controller, powered by the NVIDIA IGX T5000 module, demonstrates how AI-based perception and multi-axis safety control can operate within a real-time robotic system.
The architecture combines:
- NexRTOS for deterministic real-time robot motion
- NexECM for EtherCAT motion control
- EBK 210 Safety MCU expansion board
- Synapticon POSITRON Safety AI software
The system fuses data from a RealSense 3D camera and safety LiDAR to detect dynamic obstacles in real time. Functional safety features native to the IGX platform are activated via the safety MCU, enabling preventive safe motion control to reduce human-robot collision risks.
Multi-master EtherCAT communication ensures coordinated control of safety-certified joints, supporting collaborative robotics scenarios where robots operate in proximity to humans.
AI Simulation and Digital Twin Integration
A second solution integrates virtual simulation and physical deployment using NVIDIA Isaac Sim.
