Advantech Launches “EBC-RC04” Edge Computer for AMR Control with 3D Sensing System Support
8/27/2025

With growing demand for robotics across industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and retail—driven by the need to enhance productivity and address labor shortages—Advantech remains committed to developing edge computing platforms tailored for autonomous systems and robotics.
In collaboration with Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (hereinafter “SSS”) and Sunny Optical Intelligence Technology (hereinafter “Sunny OIT”), Advantech has co-developed the “Multi dToF/RGB LiDAR System”, a high-performance, easy-to-integrate 3D sensing solution that supports a full range of AMR operations, from object detection to autonomous navigation.
System Components of “Multi dToF/RGB LiDAR System”
- Advantech’s AMR control edge computer : EBC-RC04
- SSS’s autonomous navigation support software : “Robotics Package”
- Sunny OIT's camera unit achieves low-cost, high-precision, wide-range 3D sensing:‘HYT001-EX’
The EBC-RC04 processes sensing data from ‘HYT001-EX’ in real time to support autonomous AMR navigation. It is equipped with a dedicated interface for the ‘HYT001-EX’, enabling seamless integration and optimizing the camera’s performance in AMR applications.
Traditional AMR 3D sensing systems have typically relied on stereo cameras or 2D LiDAR, which present limitations such as reduced distance accuracy, blind spots, and poor recognition in complex environments. By adopting the direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) method with the ‘HYT001-EX’, this new system delivers wide-area and high-precision distance measurement, along with stable environmental recognition—even under challenging conditions.Key Features of EBC-RC04
- Integrated carrier board with NVIDIA Jetson Orin™ NX module
- Compact design: 120 x 100mm
- Dedicated interface for ‘HYT001-EX’
- Rich I/O interfaces for AMR control: GbE, USB, GPIO, Serial, Micro HDMI, and more
- Supports wireless Wi-Fi communication
- Compatible with DC 12–24V power input
