SDK & Utility
Pre-installed SoC vendor SDKs and ROS2 utilities help you boot faster on each platform.
Advantech Robotic Suite
Robotic Suite
Advantech Robotic Suite is an integrated software environment designed to accelerate the development, deployment, and management of robotic applications. It is more than an SDK—it is a complete development and execution ecosystem.
It delivers a consistent ROS 2 experience across Advantech Embedded IPC platforms (Intel x86_64, ARM NXP i.MX 8M, NVIDIA Jetson). The suite installs the matching ROS 2 distribution based on Ubuntu versions and offers a containerized framework to simplify development, deployment, and sensor integration.
Add-on services such as SUSI, Modbus, OPC UA, ROS 2 database, and DeviceOn are packaged in containers so teams can quickly build ROS 2 environments across diverse computing platforms.
Key Features
A containerized framework streamlines ROS2 development, deployment, and lifecycle management.
Package Management
GUI-based workflow for managing ROS2 packages, dependencies, and deployment artifacts.
Robotic Applications
Built-in SLAM, navigation, and MoveIt demos for AMR and robot arm scenarios.
