D-Robotics RDK S100/S100P Developer Kit for Embodied Robots, 80/128 TOPS BPU, LPDDR5, M.2

Overview

D-Robotics RDK S100/S100P Developer Kit is an integrated computation-and-control robot development kit designed for embodied intelligent robots. It adopts a human-inspired dual-brain architecture that combines a high-performance CPU, a Brain Processing Unit (BPU) rated at 80 TOPS / 128 TOPS (new Nash architecture), and a real-time MCU to balance AI perception/decision-making with low-latency motion control.

It integrates three core units: a CPU (6x Cortex-A78AE, 100K DMIPS), a BPU (Brain Processing Unit) (new Nash architecture, 80 TOPS/128 TOPS), and an MCU (4x Cortex-R52, 6K+ DMIPS). CPU handles real-time scheduling and low-latency tasks; BPU is optimized for CNN/Transformer, supporting 160+ ONNX operators to improve AI inference energy efficiency; MCU enables high-frame-rate joint control, forming a “brain-cerebellum” collaborative architecture that balances intelligence and real-time performance.

Key Features

• Three-chip heterogeneous collaboration: CPU + BPU (Brain Processing Unit) + MCU “super heterogeneous high-efficiency collaboration”.
• Large and small model collaboration: vision/point cloud detection, large language model, visual language model, motion control model, and perception-decision-control workflow.
• End-to-end millisecond-level response closed loop: visual data semantic detection (LLM/VLM) and state analysis via BPU + CPU; motion control model inference via BPU; high-frame-rate joint closed-loop execution via MCU.
• Freely expandable interfaces: 40-pin classic interface, camera expansion interface, dual M.2 Key interfaces, Type-C quick connection, and onboard 64GB eMMC.
• Open-source ecosystem: 200+ open-source algorithms and application examples; supports hardware-accelerated ROS2 feature package; officially adapted to popular AI models.
• M.2 SSD expansion support: onboard 64GB eMMC is provided; SSD can be installed via the onboard M.2 interface for higher-capacity deployments (e.g., large language models / multimodal models).

Camera / Module Notes (as provided)

• HD USB camera: no driver required; 2MP resolution; 120FPS high frame rate; intended for high-performance visual application development on the RDK S100/S100P platform.
• MIPI HD camera: uses Sony IMX219 solution; 77° field of view. Cannot be used alone and needs to be paired with the RDK S100/S100P camera expansion board.
• RDK GS130W stereo depth camera: MIPI interface; two SC132GS global shutter sensors; supports binocular synchronous exposure and external triggering. Cannot be used independently and requires the RDK S100/S100P camera expansion board.
• AI Large Model Voice Module (optional accessory shown): integrates a microphone and cavity speaker; supports far-field voice pickup, echo cancellation, and environmental noise reduction.
