Building Intelligent Robotics with RoArm-M1 and PhyBOARD-Pollux i.MX 8M Plus
“Turning intelligence into action — where robots think in real time.”
phyCORE-i.MX 8M Plus
PHYTEC is empowering the next generation of intelligent devices with its phyCORE-i.MX 8M Plus System on Module (SOM) and phyBOARD-Pollux carrier board — a compact, production-ready platform designed for edge AI and industrial intelligence. These modules bring high-performance computing, AI acceleration, and real-time control directly to the edge, enabling machines to see, think, and act faster than ever before.
The Perfect Match: phyBOARD-Pollux
While the SOM provides the brains, the phyBOARD-Pollux acts as its body — bringing all the essential interfaces together in one flexible development platform. Designed specifically for the i.MX 8M Plus SOM, Pollux simplifies prototyping and testing, so developers can focus on building applications instead of wiring up hardware.
Built to Last in Industrial Environments
Edge devices often live in tough environments — factory floors, outdoor systems, or mobile robots that never rest. PHYTEC understands this better than anyone. The phyCORE-i.MX 8M Plus SOM is designed for industrial-grade reliability, with an extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and long-term component availability.
Conclusion
As the edge grows smarter and more capable, the demand for compact, powerful, and intelligent computing platforms continues to rise. The PHYTEC phyCORE-i.MX 8M Plus SOM, paired with the phyBOARD-Pollux, is a perfect example of how modular embedded design can make advanced AI and automation accessible to everyone — from startups to industrial giants.
