Developer Guide

Intel® Robotics SDK offers software packages and pre-validated hardware modules for sensor data ingestion, classification, environment modeling, action planning, action control. Based on the Robot Operating System 2 (ROS* 2), it also includes reference algorithms and working examples.

In addition to autonomous mobility, this package showcases map building and Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) loop closure functionality. The package uses an open source version of visual SLAM with camera input from an Intel® RealSense™ camera. Optionally, the package allows you to run Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) based SLAM and compare those results with visual SLAM results on accuracy and performance indicators. In addition, this package detects the objects and highlights them in the map. Depending on the platform that is used, workloads are run on an integrated GPU or on Intel® CPU.

Robotics SDK helps address industrial, manufacturing, consumer market, and smart cities use cases, that include data collection, storage, and analytics on a variety of hardware nodes across the factory floor.
