Leveraging Thundercomm’s deep expertise and ecosystem resources in the intelligent IoT domain, the platform enables flexible customization and lowers the development threshold for high-end robotic control systems.

Key Highlights: Redefining the Robotics Development Experience

Extreme AI Performance

TurboX IRB10 inherits the native architecture of Qualcomm Dragonwing™ IQ10 Series, delivering up to 700 TOPS of peak AI compute to support real-time on-device inference of large AI models. The platform supports up to 20 concurrent camera inputs, compatible with FVC, AVM, DMS/OMS, and other mainstream camera modules, providing high-resolution, low-latency visual input for embodied intelligence applications.

High Performance per Watt and Reliability

Designed to balance high performance with low power consumption, TurboX IRB10 meets key requirements for long-endurance industrial AMRs and lightweight humanoid robot designs. The platform maintains the high-reliability standards of the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ IQ10 Series, incorporating hardware-level security protections and fault-tolerance mechanisms to ensure stable operation in complex real-world environments.

Full-Stack Development Support

TurboX IRB10 comes preloaded with a customized Ubuntu operating system optimized through kernel streamlining and memory scheduling enhancements. Integrated with Qualcomm’s AI toolchain, the platform supports model quantization, compression, and dynamic precision adjustment. Combined with Thundercomm’s customized SDK packages, it significantly improves system real-time performance and development efficiency while reducing technical barriers for developers.

Extensive Expansion and Compatibility

The platform features a rich set of standardized interfaces, including dual 1000 Base-T1 Ethernet ports, 8 CAN-MCU interfaces, as well as USB, ADC, and other I/O options. This enables seamless integration with LiDAR systems, robotic arm controllers, sensor arrays, display modules, and other external devices, supporting full-scenario robotics development.

Enabling the Transition from Prototyping to Mass Production

As the robotics industry accelerates its transition from prototype validation to large-scale production, challenges such as limited access to high-end computing power, long development cycles, and high adaptation costs remain significant barriers. The TurboX IRB10 development platform addresses these challenges by delivering a fully integrated development pathway covering hardware selection, software adaptation, and technical support.

Backed by Thundercomm’s extensive mass-production enablement experience on Qualcomm platforms, TurboX IRB10 establishes a standardized, high-end robotics development foundation for the industry. Compared with traditional custom development approaches, the platform is expected to shorten prototype development cycles by 3–6 months and reduce underlying hardware adaptation and debugging costs by over 50%, enabling enterprises to respond more rapidly to market demands.

With strong momentum in industrial automation and humanoid robotics, the launch of TurboX IRB10 is set to accelerate technological iteration, unlock new application scenarios, and strengthen global competitiveness across the high-end robotics market.

TurboX IRB10 is expected to be officially released in Q2.
