With the platform, secure robot control and motion control systems can be built. Industries such as medicine or aerospace could benefit from this.

The platform is particularly suitable for embedded robotics solutions, as it meets requirements up to SIL 2 according to IEC 61508 and up to Cat. 3 PL d according to ISO 13849.(Image: Copyright (c) 2020 Blue Planet Studio/Shutterstock) — The platform is particularly suitable for embedded robotics solutions, as it meets requirements up to SIL 2 according to IEC 61508 and up to Cat. 3 PL d according to ISO 13849.

The companies SYSGO, Nexcobot and Vectioneer have worked with Intel to develop a platform that serves as a basis for cobots. According to an announcement, the virtual IIoT robotic solution includes, among other things, laser scanners for real-time obstacle avoidance and intelligent wheel systems for adaptive mobility. A first demonstrator is set to be shown at the Embedded World trade fair from April 9 to 11 in Nuremberg.

The demonstration is supposed to show a seamless integration of security and efficiency in modern industrial IoT environments. A virtual safety zone around the robot monitors whether a person enters the zone. If this happens, the system immediately goes into standby mode.

The solution is based on the SCB 100 platform from Nexcobot, which uses the Intel Atom x6427FE processor. This is a multicore System on Chip developed with the Intel Silicon Integrity Technology and the associated security package for the requirements of functional safety. According to the developers, the platform can be used in the automotive industry to attach modules like doors to the chassis.
