    VMX Robotics Controller

    The Studica VMX is a powerful robot controller,

    • Enables Tele-op and autonomous control
    • Supports Java and C++, future support for ROS
    • Integrates the navX-IMU, a Linux based controller, Gigabit Ethernet, USB3 ports and built-in Wifi/Bluetooth. 
    • Can be used an a Robot Control System or Vision/Motion processor
    • Supports Open CV, Tensor Flow, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping 
    • Step File

    The Studica VMX leverages five recent key technology developments,

    • Highly-integrated, inexpensive, WiFi-enabled, multi-core Linux computing platform with lots of USB IO for expansion
    • 32-bit ARM Microcontrollers incorporating sophisticated I/O and digital communications engines
    • Low-cost MEMs Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs)
    • Powerful software providing rich libraries and tools for developing robot software in C++, Java
    • CAN bus for high-speed, real-time communication between devices

    The Studica VMX Technology Enables,

    • Far richer development environments and tools
      • Because VMX is much more than a robot controller – it is a powerful, Linux-based   desktop computing platform with network/monitor/keyboard/mouse support.
    • Very powerful software features
      • State-of-the-art software development GUIs (e.g., VS Code) libraries and tools (drive-  train kinematics, path-planning, vision processing, autonomous navigation,   performance data acquisition/playback)
    • Access to cutting-edge sensors (for use outside the competition)
      • VMX’s multitude of modern digital communications interfaces and Linux-based   operating system allow users to directly access most modern devices (e.g., Intel   RealSense tracking and depth cameras and LIDAR

    The VMX circuit board and official firmware provide inertial and magnetic measurements, with a range, accuracy and update rate as described on this page, as well as a broad range of I/O and Digital Communication capabilities and flexible Power Management.

    Note that certain IMU performance specifications are only valid after a start-up Gyroscope/Accelerometer Calibration period, during which time the VMX-pi circuit board must be held still.

    Additional details can be found in the VMX Datasheet.

    Additionally, the specifications for the connector cables with come with each VMX are also documented on this page.
