NEXCOM Group has unveiled the MARS400 T10, a humanoid robot controller developed with NVIDIA technology. Based on NVIDIA Jetson Thor, the MARS400 T10 modularly integrates AI computing, motion and robot control, and NEXCOM's in-house designed functional safety system ESC210 into a single robot control platform. This design addresses the latency and module space requirements of traditional multi-platform robot architectures. The MARS400 T10 optimizes the overall machine space configuration and significantly enhances the real-time operational performance of humanoid robots, enabling smaller footprints, more refined human-like movements, and extended operating times.

For robots to truly live alongside human environments like science fiction movies depict, safety is crucial. However, in nowadays robot systems, AI computing, motion control, and functional safety typically require independent processors and complex integration. This not only increases development difficulty and extends time-to-market but also results in unnatural human-like movements for humanoid robots due to integration delays between multiple software and hardware interfaces.

NEXCOM's integration of NVIDIA Jetson Thor, supports powerful computing capabilities of up to 2070 FP4 TFLOPS. Through modular design, it integrates NEXCOM's self-developed functional safety system ESC210, robot motion control system, and AI application software. The MARS400 T10 can be applied to various robot configurations, with a particular focus on humanoid robot development. Paired with NVIDIA Robotics full-stack CUDA-acceleration libraries and optimized AI models, it assists robot manufacturers in shortening development cycles and delivering safety-first robot products.
