Robot brainstem
Here is the 3D printed jetson tower that's going on the nasa robot. (I had to first build and enclosure for my lulzbot... working great for tall prints now.) We are running one tk1 as the master and one tk1 as a slave. The slave will have to stereo camera, imu and object detection camera (and possibly homemade lidar). The master will have the base detection cameras, motor controllers (and possibly a sun tracker). The 'possibly' depends on upcoming complications during integration over the next two weeks.
Pictured here are 2 x 2.3GHz quad-cores + 2 x 109 cuda cores...
So, I have been working in OnShape to create this. I was invited to be a beta user. It's the core guys from Solidworks that created this CAD system, and it's cloud-based. I have to admit it is a really awesome CAD interface - super intuitive and best part is: It runs in your browser using WebGL. So, it's totally platform independent and in the cloud. Only downside - you will need an internet connection to work on stuff (as most of the complex operations are done on their server)... So, I don't see this being the ideal system to use on a plane trip. But otherwise - it's a pretty amazing app (and idea).
