Overview

Perception, Decision, and Action — An Integrated Edge AI Robotics Platform

MARS400 PRO is NexCOBOT's edge computing controller built for robotic vision-based grasping applications. Powered by an NVIDIA GPU edge computing platform, it comes preloaded with Isaac ROS Manipulator and a full ROS2 development environment, and can be extended with VLA / VLM models depending on the application. Bundled with the RealSense D435i depth camera, hardware and AI models are delivered as an integrated package — eliminating extra procurement and compatibility concerns, so the system runs vision-based grasping applications right out of the box.

Module Overview

MARS400 PRO Module Overview

Built on isaac_ros_manipulator and integrating multiple VLA / VLM / WBHL models to give users flexible options. Three core modules operate around the MARS400 PRO platform, covering everything from standardized operations to forward-looking bipedal locomotion.

Core Integration | Available

Isaac ROS Manipulator

  1. Isaac ROS RTDETR
  2. Isaac ROS FoundationPose
  3. Isaac ROS cuMotion

Use Case → Pick & place, sorting. For common, simple point-to-point operations, the vision model can run directly after retraining — ideal for production tasks that need fast deployment.

Planned

VLA Models

  1. Nvidia GR00T
  2. Physical Intelligence π-0
  3. VLM

Use Case → Assembly, dual-arm collaboration, packaging. Users can train models for their specific scenarios to extend into more complex or non-standardized tasks.

Gait Control

Whole-Body Humanoid Locomotion <Safetics>

Use Case → Bipedal robot self-balancing. Robot locomotion across enclosed and open-field environments.

System Architecture

MARS400 PRO Software & Hardware Stack

From AI application packages down to the underlying hardware platform, MARS400 PRO integrates a complete, ready-to-run software and hardware stack.

Cross-Brand Robot Control

Cross-Brand Robot Control IntegrationComing Soon

Goal: control robot arms across multiple brands directly or indirectly, so users' existing equipment can adopt MARS400 PRO's AI capabilities.

Roadmap Feature — Not Yet Available Everything in this section is a planned capability under development. Cross-brand robot control is not currently supported on MARS400 PRO and is not part of the shipping product today.
