The XRP platform includes:
This Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is meant to interface with a 7S LiPo battery and loads for an Earth-based prototype of a rover, specifically for the University Rover Challenge. The rover includes devices that connect via USB, an MCU to send and receive status updates to the base station, a GPU for vision analysis, servo motors for the robotic arm end effector, and wireless communication equipment. The more powerful motors on the rover--including the drive motors and joint motors for the robotic arm--will directly receive power from the battery due to power dissipation concerns in a PCB. This board can successfully integrate part of the complex power distribution system into a tightly packaged module.
