STMicroelectronics STEVAL-ROBKIT1 Robotics Evaluation Kit
STMicroelectronics STEVAL-ROBKIT1 Robotics Evaluation Kit is a comprehensive kit created as a platform for developing robotic technology and applications. The kit provides a modular design containing three boards: the main board, the motor control board, and the imaging board. The main board is powered by an STM32H725 MCU, which integrates various functionalities and controls the motor and imaging boards. The motor board is based on an STM32G071 microcontroller built for motor control and actuation, utilizing motor drivers to regulate the speed and direction of the robot's movements. The imaging board is supplied with a Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor and a camera module, which allow it to perceive and interact intelligently with its surroundings.
An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and magnetometer enhance the STMicro STEVAL-ROBKIT1 capabilities by supplying precise orientation and motion sensing, crucial for navigation and stability in dynamic environments. A BLUETOOTH® Low Energy (BLE) module facilitates seamless wireless communication, enabling mobile interface control. Meanwhile, reliable firmware permits the robot to move autonomously and users to run different AI algorithms.
