Robot controllers that can power PoE cameras

Asked as: “Which robot controllers can power PoE cameras?”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

Two robot controllers list PoE support: the JHCTECH BRAV-7121 and the Universal Robots AI Accelerator. On both, PoE is listed as an option, so you need to order a PoE configuration if you want the controller to power your cameras.

  • JHCTECH BRAV-7121: a fanless edge AI controller made for intelligent robotics, including agricultural spraying drones. Apart from Ethernet, it also has 4 GMSL camera inputs and 2 MIPI camera inputs. jhc-techno... +2jhc-technology.com ↗“marketed for intelligent robotics and as the controller for agricultural spraying drones”jhc-technology.com ↗“io.gmsl_camera_inputs=4”jhc-technology.com ↗“io.mipi_cameras=2”
  • Universal Robots AI Accelerator: a hardware and software kit for UR e-Series cobots. It comes with an Orbbec Gemini 335Lg 3D camera and PolyScope X with ROS 2. What I couldn't confirm: - I couldn't find the number of PoE ports or the total PoE power budget for either controller. That means I can't say how many cameras each one can power at the same time. The product datasheets should have these figures: BRAV-7121 datasheet and AI Accelerator guide. jhc-techno... +1jhc-technology.com ↗“cta.datasheet=”universal-robots.com ↗“cta.datasheet=” universal-...universal-robots.com ↗“hardware and software kit for UR e-Series cobots”
  • The other 10 robot controllers don't state whether they support PoE, so I can't rule them out. They just aren't confirmed matches.
