RDBOX is an advanced IT platform for robotics and IoT developers that highly integrates cloud-native and edge computing technologies. Prepare RaspberryPi and AWS or Azure or Google Cloud Platform or Laptop(With Vagrant).
Don’t be surprised, there IT infrastructure is built automatically and maintained automatically.
(DETAIL: Effect on you)
And that is got Effect with only Run the scripts and Burn the SDCARD.
(DETAIL: What you do)
Of course, protect the app at all layers of the OSI reference model.
Please do not worry. You can create an SD card easily by app. (Now offering Windows10 and MacOS version. Linux versions will be released soon.)
⬇️ Download Windows10 | ⬇️ Download MacOS | ⬇️ Download Linux

This is just an example of RDBOX functionality.
You can start using the useful features right away with a click. The RDBOX App Market is a platform to easily add highly integrates cloud-native and edge computing technologies applications to your RDBOX environment to help you develop service robots and IoT devices.
e.g. Jenkins, Harbor, Gogs, elasticsearch, kibana, logstash

In addition, you can easily control robots at multiple locations.
Many other functions are available in RDBOX.

- Prepare RaspberryPi and AWS or Azure or Google Cloud Platform or PC. (Please see the wiki for details.)
- Please also refer to the latest release notes.
- If you just want to try RDBOX out, check out the Our Wiki page to give it a whirl. （←英語/日本語の二ヶ国語のマニュアルが用意されています。）
- One of our utilities, flashRDBOX, allows interactive dependency injection (DI) to RaspberryPi. There is no need for difficult operations.
- If you own TurtleBot3, you can also experience the deployment of ROS applications.
- Otherwise, you can learn the procedure for building development environment with RDBOX.
RDBOX based on HypriotOS (Debian GNU/Linux 10)

RDBOX
- A Robotics Developers BOX -- You can get your only IT infrastructure.
- Provides ALL layers (L1 to L7) of the OSI reference model.
- Mesh Wi-Fi network-covered space by Raspberry Pi
- Strict security
- Compute power provided by Kubernetes computer clusters
- Deploy and update ROS APPs by Kubernetes computer clusters
- Full support for your robot working in on-site.
- It is easy to separate part of the existing Enterprise network.
- Other Robot Development Platform not enough support on-site.
- Run the Script on your Virtual machine (VirtualBox or AWS or Azure or Google Cloud Platform).
- Burn the SDCARD Image for your Raspberry Pi.
Make your job easy with 3 features.
- You will get a simpler and creative development experience than deploying with traditional roslaunch. Furthermore, it becomes easy to control a lot of groups of robots.
- Orchestrate ROS nodes on robots and conputer resources by Kubernetes.
- Allow mixing of x86 and ARM architecture CPU.
- k8s master will run on AWS EC2 or Azure VirtualMachine or Google Cloud Platform ComputeEngine or VirtualBox on your PC.
- Connect with the robots and others by Mesh Wi-Fi Network.
- Connect with the Clouds/On-Premise by VPN Network.
- The RDBOX Edge devices builds with Raspberry Pi 3B/3B+/4B.
- There is no worry that the back port will be installed. (All source code and hardware are disclosed.)
- Raspberry Pi provides you edge computing and Wi-Fi network and environmental sensors and more.
- Provide assembly procedure and original SD card image.
- Easily set up a dedicated local area network for robots.
- Simply connect RDBOX in between the internet and your service robot. In one simple step, you can build a local area network and development environment. No knowledge of internet or networking is necessary.
- Many network applications, including NTP, are offered with the product. Automate your network robot management.
- All you need is a power source. Cover the whole movable range of mobile robots with a Wi-Fi network.
3 Advantages compared to competitor's "robot development platform".
- Competitor's "robot development platform" does not support it. You may need to pay a great deal of money to a specialist for consultation.
- Providing access points via mesh Wi-Fi. The robot just connects to the access point.
- It is possible to get security measures such as VPN and firewall andmore..., and convenient functions such as network application.
- You can start using it with the "laptop" and "Raspberry Pi3B / 3B + / 4B" you may already have.
- It can be used by combining "simulator linkage" and "existing API service" that other companies are good at.
- Object Detection API
- Reinforcement learning by Gazebo.
- and more..
