A coordinated
control system designed to have a
small form factor can be located within a robotic or automated online manufacturing
system, the coordinated
control system comprising: on-board advanced distributed control hardware configured with
artificial intelligence enabled processors incorporated within a
System-on-Module (SOM) board, each SOM comprising four processors or nodes;
wireless communication with cameras, motors,
general purpose I / O via I2C extenders, audio interfaces,
the Internet, such as Wifi and
Bluetooth connections, for transmitting and receiving commands and any other data; a sensor electrically connected to a plurality of sensors for perceiving an environment and collecting data from
infrared, haptic, proximity and other types of sensors; the external host
flash memory computer is specially used for uploading / downloading
firmware,
cloning and configuring; the nonvolatile memory is used for storing a
control algorithm, a configuration file and other necessary data; the
HDMI-based
user interface is used for
robot operation, training and setting; the internal
star network based on
USB C or
Ethernet is used for bypassing the standard PCI
bus interface
BUS to carry out high-speed communication; an
Ethernet switch enables a plurality of boards to access the
Ethernet for internal communication within the
star network as well as external
Internet access.
