1.3 Sensor and Controller Specifications

The robot system consists of two core computing units:

MDU (Main Data Unit): Based on the RK3588 industrial control platform, responsible for high-performance computing and multi-device expansion.

HDU (Human-machine Data Unit): Based on the RK3588S2 platform, mainly responsible for human-machine interaction and lightweight computing tasks.

For RK3588 series specifications, refer to the Rockchip official website. The following table lists the basic hardware parameters of the controllers and sensors:

1.4 Camera Field of View

The Expedition A3 is equipped with an interactive binocular camera on its head, supporting visual recognition and response in human-machine interaction scenarios. The specific field of view is as follows:

1.5 Network Topology

Software network topology diagram:

The HDU connects to the external network via WiFi and forms the robot's internal core network with the MDU through eth_hdu (10.42.10.x). 5G serves as a backup link, allowing connection to the external network via 5G when WiFi is unavailable.

Note: The robot's debug bay network port is currently disabled and is an invalid port. Type-A is for debug testing only, and the Type-C port is for remote controller charging only; do not connect other devices.
