Seirios supports a wide range, variety, and combination of sensors on robots for various applications.

The following are sensors tried and tested with Seirios RNS on various robots types

If you do not see a familiar or preferred sensor below, benchmark against the available sensor's technical specifications. Contact us at for further inquiries or clarifications

PC & CPU Requirements

Computers, mini PCs, and other developer boards come with either x86 or ARM64 chips. Click next to see hardware that has been tried and tested with Seirios.

Processing power is crucial to running Seirios RNS with your robot. With more sensors installed, more computing power will be required to be allocated - and less will be available for Seirios

The following are recommended PC/board specifications to take advantage of every feature available on Seirios RNS

PC with x86 processor (4 cores with 8 threads @ >3.1GhZ) OR ARM64 (8 cores) [We recommend you to use min i7 gen 8th]
8GB DDR4 RAM
256GB SSD
Ubuntu 20.04 & ROS Noetic (x86) OR Ubuntu 18.04 & ROS Melodic (ARM64)
WiFi connectivity 802.11a/b/g/n/ac

The following pages are specific PCs and developer boards that we have tested with Seirios RNS

x86-64 systems are widely used in most robotics systems and robots with compact-form PCs. It has high computing power and supports multiple hardware sensors connected to it.

Be sure that your robotic system has a large enough battery to accommodate its operations

PCs

ARM / ARMv8-A

Seirios RNS is compatible with the following ARM-based systems and kits. ARM-based boards are power efficient but lack computing power (compared to x86-64 / AMD6 systems.

Some computing-intensive features such as 3D LiDAR mapping and navigation or multisensor support (eg 3 different sensors) will not be available on these boards.

Cameras

Cameras are crucial for navigation and localization. Some brands/models have IMU integrated for an additional dimension for precision navigation.

Omnidirectional Cameras

360° cameras are useful for many applications such as cleaning and security

LiDARs

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors are useful in many settings, situations, and applications. It does not rely on visual light for path planning, navigation, and localization.

Ultrasonic Sensors

Useful at short ranges, low-lying obstacles can be detected using ult

Infrared Sensors

A low-powered sensor; usually used for non-opaque obstacle detection such as glass or plastic panels
