                   Closed Hardware

This project is the only platform in the upper-right quadrant: fully open hardware that scales to industrial deployment. All other open-hardware platforms target education/research only, while industrial-capable platforms are proprietary.


Key Differentiators

  1. PBC-34 Payload Bus — No other platform offers a standardized, hot-pluggable, auto-discovering payload interface. This dramatically reduces integration time for custom sensors, actuators, and compute modules.

  2. Security-First Architecture — The only open-source mobile robot with DTLS encrypted communication, cryptographically signed OTA, and hardware safety interlocks meeting ISO 13850.

  3. Single Codebase, Three Products — Build-time SKU selection via sdkconfig overlays means one repository produces platforms ranging from $120 classroom kits to IP54 industrial units.

  4. Full-Stack Openness — From KiCad schematics to ROS2 launch files to TypeScript web UI — everything is open, auditable, and forkable under permissive licenses.

  5. Production-Ready from Day One — Secure boot, flash encryption, NVS encryption, structured logging, fleet OTA strategy — not bolted on later but designed into the architecture.

核心差异化优势

  1. PBC-34 载荷总线 —— 没有其他平台提供标准化的、可热插拔的、自动发现的载荷接口。这大幅减少了自定义传感器、执行器和计算模块的集成时间。

  2. 安全优先架构 —— 唯一提供 DTLS 加密通信、密码学签名 OTA 和符合 ISO 13850 硬件安全互锁的开源移动机器人。

  3. 一套代码,三款产品 —— 通过 sdkconfig 叠加层在编译时选择 SKU,同一仓库可生产从 ¥900 教学套件到 IP54 工业单元的全线产品。

  4. 全栈开放 —— 从 KiCad 原理图到 ROS2 启动文件再到 TypeScript Web 界面 —— 一切开放、可审计、可 Fork,采用宽松许可证。

  5. 从第一天就生产就绪 —— 安全启动、Flash 加密、NVS 加密、结构化日志、车队 OTA 策略 —— 不是事后补救,而是架构设计的一部分。
