When to Choose N100
Robot-Side Communication Matters
Choose N100 when your robot needs EtherCAT communication, a Xenomai-enabled software environment, and compact onboard compute close to cameras and other devices.
Space Is Limited
Use N100 when the computer must fit inside a compact robot body while still supporting local compute, communication, and camera expansion.
Camera Access Is Required
N100 Engineering Highlights
EtherCAT Connectivity
EtherCAT connectivity supports integration with robot-side industrial communication systems. Confirm cycle-time and timing requirements against the intended configuration and test conditions.
Xenomai Real-Time Support
Xenomai support provides a real-time-capable Linux environment for robot-side software that requires controlled scheduling behavior alongside local AI compute.
Camera Expansion in a Compact Body
Supports up to 10 camera connections with flexible cabling, making it suitable for compact embodied intelligence platforms with vision requirements.
