CORVALLIS, Oregon—September 12, 2009—LiPPERT Embedded Computers and Revolution Robotics have entered into a partnership to develop the next generation programmable desktop robotics platform.

Embedded computers have become a cornerstone of the computing market, and today, these systems are powering the latest in controls, automation, and now robotics. Revolution Robotics’ software-centric approach to robotic design and programming is made possible through the use of powerful processing cores that combine performance with efficiency. Pursuing software intensive robotics brings about the need for a new advanced embedded processing solution. To achieve this objective, Revolution Robotics has teamed up with LiPPERT Embedded Computers to tackle this challenge.

Coming in 2010, Revolution Robotics is proud to announce that the REVO robotics line will be powered by the Intel® Atom^TM processor using LiPPERT Embedded's CoreExpress®-ECO module. In conjunction with LiPPERT Embedded Computers, Revolution Robotics is designing a solution that will bring unprecedented levels of capability to robotic systems worldwide. This all digital embedded computing solution will bring modern connectivity including Wi-Fi networking and USB in a convenient form factor that will fit virtually any programmable robotic system. This synergy between Revolution Robotics and LiPPERT Embedded Computers will help define the future of embedded robotic applications.

LiPPERT Embedded Computers develops and markets embedded PC modules and systems. They supply system integrators and OEM’s in markets as diverse as automotive, automation, medical devices, military, as well as aerospace. The company is headquartered in Mannheim, Germany.
