# Reference Designs & SDKs

#### Reference Designs & SDKs

Robora provides rich reference designs and SDK integrations to accelerate development and ensure reliability across hardware and software workflows:

**1. NVIDIA Isaac & GROOT Integration**

* **Isaac SDK Licensing:** Partner with NVIDIA to license the Isaac ROS-compatible SDK, giving access to URDF-based robot models, prebuilt joint controllers, and sensor drivers.
* **Adaptable GROOT Modules:** Although GROOT’s proprietary platform isn’t public, we offer certified substitutes using Isaac’s simulation assets—drag in humanoid-limb assemblies or gripper modules that have passed NVIDIA’s performance and safety benchmarks.
* **Accelerated Simulation:** Leverage Isaac Sim’s photorealistic Gazebo environments for rapid prototyping of SLA-based workflows, including perception algorithms, motion planning, and collision testing.

**2. Google Gemini on Coral Edge TPU**

* **Coral Accelerator Bricks:** Expose Coral Edge TPU modules as pluggable compute bricks in the 3D builder, enabling TensorFlow Lite and ONNX runtimes on-device.
* **Gemini Model Support:** Preload ‘Gemini-lite’ vision and control models optimized for on-edge inference—perfect for low-latency tasks such as object detection, tracking, and simple navigation loops.
* **Edge-to-Cloud Bridge:** Provide seamless SDK functions to offload heavier model updates or retraining jobs to Google Cloud TPU backends, synchronizing weights bi-directionally.

**3. ROS 2 Ecosystem & Middleware**

* **Native ROS 2 Foxy & Humble:** Full support for ROS 2 nodes, message types, and launch files. Users can write custom C++ or Python nodes against our standardized hardware interfaces.
* **DDS Communication:** Utilize Data Distribution Service (DDS) for real-time data exchange between modules, ensuring high-throughput telemetry for SLAM, path planning, and teleoperation.

**4. Simulation & Digital Twin Tools**

* **Gazebo & Webots Plugins:** Prebuilt plugins to export designs directly into Gazebo or Webots, complete with physics parameters, sensor noise models, and environmental assets.
* **Digital Twin API:** RESTful and WebSocket endpoints to query live simulation status, retrieve sensor feeds, and inject control commands—ideal for CI pipelines and remote testing.

**5. Developer SDK & CLI**

* **Cross-Platform Libraries:** Provide Node.js, Python, and C++ SDKs for querying part catalogs, submitting compute jobs, and managing on-chain deployments.
* **CLI Tool:** A command-line interface for quick integration into CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated build validation, safety compliance checks, and deployment scripts.

**6. Certification & Compliance Extensions**

* **Safety Test Suites:** Include ROS-based test rigs and IEC/ISO compliance scripts that automatically generate reports mapping each module’s test coverage to relevant safety requirements.
* **Audit Trail Generators:** SDK functions to package simulation logs, test artifacts, and design metadata into standardized safety dossiers ready for third-party auditors.

By combining these reference assets and SDKs, Robora empowers developers to move seamlessly from concept to certified, production-ready builds, minimizing integration effort and ensuring high levels of performance and safety.
