The Studica VMX is a powerful robot controller,

• Enables Tele-op and autonomous control
• Programmable in Java, C++, Python, LabVIEW, and ROS
• Integrates the navX-IMU, a Linux based controller, Gigabit Ethernet, USB3 ports and built-in Wifi/Bluetooth. 
• Can be used an a Robot Control System or Vision/Motion processor
• Supports Open CV, Tensor Flow, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping 
• Step File

The Studica VMX leverages five recent key technology developments,

• Highly-integrated, inexpensive, WiFi-enabled, multi-core Linux computing platform with lots of USB IO for expansion
• 32-bit ARM Microcontrollers incorporating sophisticated I/O and digital communications engines
• Low-cost MEMs Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs)
• Powerful software providing rich libraries and tools for developing robot software in C++, Java
• CAN bus for high-speed, real-time communication between devices

The Studica VMX Technology Enables,

• Far richer development environments and tools
  • Because VMX is much more than a robot controller – it is a powerful, Linux-based   desktop computing platform with network/monitor/keyboard/mouse support.
• Very powerful software features
  • State-of-the-art software development GUIs (e.g., VS Code) libraries and tools (drive-  train kinematics, path-planning, vision processing, autonomous navigation,   performance data acquisition/playback)
• Access to cutting-edge sensors (for use outside the competition)
  • VMX’s multitude of modern digital communications interfaces and Linux-based   operating system allow users to directly access most modern devices (e.g., Intel   RealSense tracking and depth cameras and LIDAR
