Problem
Developers of underwater vehicles and other autonomous robotic systems often face fragmented hardware ecosystems, requiring separate components for control, power management, and high‑bandwidth communication. This leads to complex wiring, limited scalability, and increased integration effort, especially for ROVs, AUVs, and custom drones.
Solution
Degz Robotics offers a suite of compact, modular electronic cards that streamline the core functions of autonomous platforms. The Suibo control card provides 9‑axis IMU stabilization, dual‑core ARM M0 processing, and up to eight motor outputs, supporting I²C, SPI, UART, and RS‑485 interfaces for flexible sensor integration. The Hi‑Base power distribution board delivers magnetic switching, real‑time voltage monitoring, and up to 120 A continuous current across a 6‑48 V input range, enabling safe remote on/off control via a microcontroller. The Sublink communication card consolidates high‑resolution video and control signals onto a single USB cable, offering hot‑plug capability and up to 400 m RS‑485 range for wired underwater links. All cards are designed to operate within Degz’s Derin Diver software ecosystem, providing unified APIs, Python‑based autopilot libraries, and seamless data exchange across devices.
Target Audience
Primary customers are engineers and developers building custom ROVs, AUVs, and other autonomous marine or aerial platforms who need reliable, integrated electronics for control, power management, and communication.
