Vendor Sample

The Advantech Robotic Suite provides pre-integrated development environments based on industry-standard robotics frameworks.

These environments are delivered as containerized platforms, allowing developers to quickly evaluate, prototype, and build robotic applications without complex setup.

1. Overview​

Current supported ecosystems include:

  • NVIDIA Isaac ROS
  • Autoware

2. NVIDIA Isaac ROS​

NVIDIA Isaac ROS provides a collection of GPU-accelerated ROS 2 packages for perception and AI-based robotics applications.

  • Focus Areas:

    • Visual perception (camera-based)
    • AI inference (e.g., object detection, segmentation)
    • 3D reconstruction and mapping

  • Key Advantages:

    • Optimized for NVIDIA platforms (Jetson / GPU)
    • High-performance perception pipeline
    • Integration with modern AI models

3. Autoware​

Autoware is an open-source software stack for autonomous driving and advanced robotics systems.

  • Focus Areas:

    • End-to-end autonomous driving pipeline
    • Localization, perception, planning, and control
    • LiDAR-based and multi-sensor systems

  • Key Advantages:

    • Full-stack architecture
    • Designed for real-world autonomous systems
    • Strong community and ecosystem support

4. Container-Based Workflow​

All vendor environments are provided as Docker containers, enabling:

  • Consistent and reproducible environments
  • Simplified dependency management
  • Faster setup and deployment

This allows developers to focus on application development rather than environment configuration.

Vendor ecosystems provide a foundation for building scalable and production-ready robotic systems, accelerating development from prototype to deployment.
