Unmanned delivery vehicles are emerging logistics tools that use machines to replace or assist manual labor in the end delivery process, providing services such as autonomous driving, goods transportation, human-machine interaction, and safety monitoring. Assist in the implementation of unmanned delivery vehicle applications, and North China Industrial Control can provide embedded computer hardware assistance!
With the development and maturity of artificial intelligence, 5G Internet, Internet of Things, automatic driving, big data and other technologies, online shopping models such as e-commerce, takeout, fresh home distribution, and supermarket convenience have developed rapidly, and consumers’ requirements for delivery speed and service quality are increasing. At the same time, the country has also successively introduced policies that promote the application of technologies such as autonomous driving and unmanned delivery, creating favorable conditions for the development of the unmanned delivery industry. Unmanned delivery vehicles are gradually moving towards large-scale promotion and application.
However, in practical applications, the implementation of its functions such as autonomous control, intelligent perception and decision-making, integration of multifunctional modules, efficient transmission of information data, and long-term stable operation requires strong data processing capabilities, easy scalability, strong connectivity, durability, and easy deployment of computer hardware to provide basic support. For example, the ARM motherboard EMB-3581 developed by North China Industrial Control based on the RK3568 processor.
EMB-3581: Support for integrated application of unmanned delivery vehicles
North China Industrial Control has been committed to providing embedded computer products and customized services with X86 architecture and ARM architecture for customers in multiple industries.
