 So we're here at the Toradex booth, and this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. It's a self-balancing wheelchair. Hi, I'm Pascal. So what's your company? We're not a company yet. We're a student project from ETH Zurich, and we're using the computer modules from Toradex to control the whole chair. And we're able to climb being wheelchair. That's so cool. Hello. Who are you? My name is Stefan Nubach. I'm also from Toradex, and we are here at Embedded World presenting our latest news. We have new products, like Colibri IMX 6 URL, with Wi-Fi this time. We have announcing our polys IMX 8, and we're also offering new carrier boards, extending, for example, compatible with Arduino. And your boards are in here? Our boards, where are they? Below the seat. There's one board? Just one processor for everything. So what can I do? We're balancing, so you're very agile, you can turn on spot, right? And you don't have small wheels that got caught. Some curbs. We can pull up the stairs. No, you're not going to be able to grab the stairs. We use the rubber tracks, which are very safe. And now the seat is always level. So we have a sensor which recognizes the stairs, and then the seat is always leveling. And we can go up pretty fast. Yeah, that's normal, it's no problem. It's normal, it's no problem. Yeah, you see, it's really stable. It doesn't move. You're able to turn, so you can actually go wide. Looks scary, but it's still stable. So this is one of the goals of your company, right? To enable amazing stuff? Yes, we're fully focusing actually on the computing solutions, but the cool thing is actually really things like that, that enable new products, new technologies. That's cool, you're from ETH Zurich. Yes, absolutely. And I mean, the whole project is sponsored, and Toradex is one of our sponsors, so that's... We saw their remodels, they looked really cool, they approached them. Do you have the government of Switzerland supporting or not? No, no. We have like a room on the university and coaching. Why is this not their priority for every handicapped should have one of those, right? Yeah, we think so. That's why you want to make a startup out of it once we finish studies to bring this to market. How much do you think it's going to cost? Yeah, we cannot say this right now. But it should be comparable to other wheelchairs. Like other power wheelchairs. It should not be much more expensive, because then it will also be covered by insurances. Nice. Yeah. We can... Any stair, you know, with a conventional lift that you usually have in the apartments, you're actually covering one chair. Yeah, we can transfer onto the top. Glory. So we have these small wheels coming out here. So you're done with the backwards. Nice. And you can go even in surf stairs. As long as like the radius is not too small. And the transition is automatic. So I don't have to do anything. It's fully automatic. Just go back and forward. It's safe. Yeah, it's safe. Really? You're not going to get even... And you can even lift it up for the help. Lift it up. So if you want to grab something from a shelf, you're now in a better position. That's too amazing. That's too awesome. Let me see how I come back again. So Tordex is based in Switzerland, right? Yes. Switzerland has not just watches, not just chocolate, but also the coolest technology in the world. I would say Switzerland is a lot about innovation. We don't have a lot of resources except innovation. And that's why we love to support these guys. But can you help them to get this out sooner? Obviously, you know, there's a lot of regulations. There's a lot of regulations that you have to fulfill. But I think we'll do everything that they can actually get to market. But at the end of the day... We don't need regulation, I think. We should just get it out. How long is the battery life? It's about one day. So we estimate about 20 kilometers. But it's the first prototype. Because it's only on two wheels, are you able to get further, faster, stronger? We don't know yet. What we think is if you are in mud with another wheelchair, there is really a high force on the front wheel. And we don't have that. So we think if the roads are bad, we will be better. On the SoC that's on the Toradex board, you're able to balance and everything? Or is that another part? No, it's all the same chip. All on the same chip? It's all on the same chip. The only thing that's external is our app. It's just an Android app. It's really ugly at the moment. Only Android, right? Only Android. We don't want iOS. OK. Let's go over here. Let's go over here. Because maybe this is related to this development kit. No, no. It's actually a different thing. That is a demo. That's also self-balancing. Let me see where the control is. There is a remote control, actually, to control this. But it has self-balancing tech? Yes. It's actually an inverse pendulum. And you can demonstrate the capability of heterogeneous multi-core. So you have one thing, the balancing robot that is controlled by the M4. It's a real-time capable CPU. And the same chip you find, actually, where is it? This is the IMX7. Yes. It has a heterogeneous system. And you have all this kind of support. Let's go around here. Let's check some of the other. No need to control. You just lean back. It always tries to stay on the last position when I move the joystick. The next step is you're going to enable people to walk around, right? Yeah, maybe. There are extra skeletons on the way, but I think it will still take some years. But this will be the next big step, yeah, sure. Takeaway principle. Takeaway principle. Let's check over here. What's going on here in this corner? This is a demo of our partner Antmicro. You see here a stereo camera vision system. That is looking at these signs. It's analyzing them online and detecting the sign and controlling actually the car remotely, whether it's speed, whether it's actually deterrence. Is it running on the NVIDIA? It's the NVIDIA TK1 chip. It's a good demo actually showing the capabilities of these technologies. Do you want to support the newer NVIDIAs also, the X1, X2? Let's say we're working on it. I don't want to get secret information out. Let's go around here. Some of the carrier boards are... No, these are carrier boards from our partners. So, you know, we are really focusing on modules, on the software and really doing that 100%. That's what we are doing well. We cannot serve all different markets. That's why we engage the partner program. It's all you see here from the US, from Germany. There is even from Spain, as well as again from the US. And we provide extensive support and ecosystem. And all these cool engineers, all in Switzerland and the US? It's all distributed. We have a lot of people around the world. We are present in Japan, China. We are in India, in three places. We are in Europe, Switzerland, Brazil, US. So, whenever people have questions, they send it in. They get served within 24 hours, whether it's in any time zone, in any language, almost. And where do you find those cool engineers? Well, they're different to find. But I think it's also cool to work for Toradex at the end. And it is cool to see such applications at the end really helping these guys to get to market and implementing their really cool ideas. Cool. And as you were just mentioning before, right? IMX8 is coming. Yes. So you will have IMX8. And then other things we'll see. It's your carrier board system over here. We're looking over here. This is the socket. OK. This is the... Because when you put some pressure... That's the connection. Sorry. Maybe put that this way. OK. This is the secret sauce of Toradex. This kind of stuff, right? Well, that's our main technology. But what you see is obviously the only hardware. But 90% of our engineering goes actually into software. And that's where the value added in place. And customers trying out our technology, they get free support, because I really think we really want to help the customer to get to market at the end. If he's not getting to market, there's no use actually starting a project again. And it's all about the long tail of ideas that people have in technology to enable new ideas. Enable new things. Yeah. Well, we haven't thought about such a wheelchair, stair climbing wheelchair. There's a lot of new technologies coming up. And a sports car is over there. Yes. It's a bit expensive, but I think it's a cool technology. And Enable IoT stuff comes along. Security, there's a lot of new themes, topics that you have to get to solve actually. And we are providing the base technology for it. Which means hardware and software and support.
