D-Robotics RDK S100

A single-chip “compute-control integrated” robot dev kit from D-Robotics, starting at 80 TOPS.

The RDK S100 is a robot development kit released in June 2025 by D-Robotics, part of Horizon Robotics, built around putting AI inference and real-time motor control on the same SoC (system on chip): a 6-core Cortex-A78AE CPU handles the system and planning, a self-developed Nash-architecture BPU (neural-network accelerator) delivers 80 TOPS of compute for vision and VLA-style models, and a separate 4-core Cortex-R52+ MCU handles joint-level real-time control. The higher-end S100P variant offers 128 TOPS and 24 GB of memory. It's designed to solve the communication latency and cost that come from using one board for the “brain” and another for the “cerebellum” in a robot. At launch, its pre-order price was reported at RMB 2,499, positioned to compete with edge compute platforms like NVIDIA's Jetson Orin.

ExampleA developer can run a perception model on the BPU and drive robot-arm joints directly over CAN from the onboard MCU, both on the same RDK S100 board.
