RDK (Robot Developer Kit) is a family of developer kits and boards built by D-Robotics for developing robotics and edge-AI solutions. The line includes the RDK X3 (about 5 TOPS, Rising Sun 3 chip), the RDK X5 (about 10 TOPS, Sunrise 5 chip) and the high-performance RDK S100 module (over 80 TOPS). The kits feature in-house AI acceleration engines and provide over 200 open-source algorithms and applications, targeting both makers and commercial use cases — across embodied AI, autonomous systems and real-time robot control.
SBC
Which group D-Robotics RDK belongs to and how it is built
Compute Modules is a subcategory of hardware components that provide processing power for robotic systems. It encompasses onboard computers, single-board computers (SBCs), AI accelerators, embedded processors, GPU/NPU compute modules, and other units responsible for processing sensor data and executing control logic. These modules form the foundation of modern autonomous, humanoid, and perception-capable robots.
A Single Board Computer (SBC) is a complete computer integrated onto a single board, incorporating a processor, memory, communication interfaces, and I/O. In robotics, SBCs serve as local controllers, software hosts, integration modules, perception processing units, or communication management nodes. They are widely used in embedded systems, prototypes, mobile robots, and educational platforms.
