Hardware & Peripherals
Every Robulus is powered by the official JUVANTIA ROBULUS PLATFORM printed circuit board, designed for high reliability, dual camera streaming, and precise actuator control.
1. Official Board: JUVANTIA ROBULUS PLATFORM
The core controller is the standardized JUVANTIA ROBULUS PLATFORM PCB:
- Unified computing and motor driver board running certified Juvantia firmware.
- Dedicated wireless telemetry and Junctum proximity beacon interfaces.
- Standardized headers for power, camera ribbons, and peripheral wiring.
2. Power & Battery Standard
- Nominal Bus Voltage: 12V DC mandatory system rail supplied from the board.
- Battery Chemistry: 3S Li-ion battery pack (e.g. 18650 cells providing up to 12.6V fully charged).
- Connector Standard: Standard high-current XT30 power connector.
- Battery Capacity: Sized according to builder requirements; packs must fit securely within the chassis without exceeding weight limits.
3. Vision & Dual Camera Support
- Dual MIPI-CSI Interfaces: The official board features two dedicated camera ribbon slots.
- Flexible Camera Choice: Builders can install any compatible camera sensor with wide-angle or standard lenses.
- Dual-View Capability: Rovers can stream both a primary forward-facing navigation camera and a secondary articulated/tool camera simultaneously into Operator Deck.
4. Servo & Actuator Channels
- 8 PWM Servo Channels: Direct onboard headers for controlling up to 8 independent servos.
- Supported Servos: Standardized micro servos (e.g. MG90S series for camera pan/tilt) and high-torque standard servos (e.g. MG995/MG996R series for robotic arms and lifters).
5. Optical & Lighting Regulations
To maintain visual safety and prevent blinding other operators across the park, lighting must strictly comply with the following rules:
- Forward Headlights:
- Must emit pure white light only.
- Beam Angle: Headlights must be angled strictly horizontally or downward toward the ground. Angling lights upward is strictly prohibited to prevent blinding oncoming rovers and saturating camera sensors.
- No Strobing / Flashing:
- Rapid, bright flashing or strobing effects are strictly banned, even with white light.
- Accent & Underglow Lighting:
- Vibrant, multicolored lighting (such as WS2812B RGB LEDs) is permitted underneath the chassis (underglow) or inside transparent/mesh body panels.
- Rear & Side Lighting:
- Low-intensity colored indicators are permitted on the sides and rear for brake and turn signaling, provided they do not strobe or blind nearby units.
