Recently, Quectel Communication officially launched the SH602HA-AP robot computing module, equipped with the Xuri®5 intelligent computing chip for sweet potato robots, which was showcased at the DDC2025 Sweet Potato Robot Developer Conference.
As a core computing solution for the new generation of general-purpose robots, the Quectel SH602HA-AP module boasts high computing power of 10 TOPS, an RTK + binocular vision fusion solution, and advanced on-device large model operation capabilities. These key advantages provide robots with essential technological support for precise navigation and obstacle avoidance, dynamic environmental perception, and more. This advancement aids industries in upgrading from “functional execution” to “perception and decision-making,” thus accelerating the commercialization process of robots on a larger scale.
In terms of core configuration, the Quectel SH602HA-AP module runs on the Ubuntu operating system. The embedded Xuri 5 chip is based on the advanced BPU Bayesian architecture and integrates abundant heterogeneous computing resources, offering up to 10 TOPS of AI computing power. This performance level can easily handle mainstream scenarios such as lawn mowers, cleaning robots, companion robots, and delivery robots, supporting efficient completion of full-stack computing tasks locally. It can also smoothly operate complex AI models and the latest algorithms such as Transformer, BEV, and Occupancy on the edge. Compared to traditional solutions, robots utilizing this module can not only accomplish basic object recognition and path planning but also efficiently realize advanced intelligent behaviors like scene understanding, natural language interaction, and dynamic obstacle avoidance.
More importantly, the Quectel SH602HA-AP achieves breakthroughs in low energy consumption while outputting high-performance AI computing power. In the complex field of robot terminal computing, it delivers better decision-making and task execution within limited time and computational resources, while also better aligning with the stringent requirements for heat dissipation control and lightweight design in robots.
If the computing architecture serves as the “intelligence core” of a robot, then the perception system acts as its “five senses,” interacting with the surrounding world. The SH602HA-AP module creates a complete integrated perception system, realizing an edge-side closed loop of “perception-computation-decision.”
In terms of perception capability, the module fully supports various sensor signal inputs and fusion processes, including LiDAR, structured light, ToF (Time of Flight), and voice. It incorporates core robotic perception algorithms such as dual-camera depth computation, AI + VSLAM (visual simultaneous localization and mapping), and 3D point cloud computation, combined with voice recognition capabilities, endowing robots with comprehensive intelligent abilities of “seeing, hearing, computing, and judging.”
In multimedia and visual processing, the SH602HA-AP performs exceptionally well, featuring a newly designed ISP 2.0 (Image Signal Processor) optimized for robotic scenarios, enhancing both latency and quality. The module’s maximum processing capability reaches 3840×2160@60fps, supporting advanced technologies such as 3D-NR (three-dimensional noise reduction), WDR (wide dynamic range), and HDR (high dynamic range), allowing it to accurately capture high-definition visual data in complex lighting environments. Additionally, it supports 4K@60fps video encoding and decoding, meeting the core demands for real-time visual transmission and processing in robots.
The interface configuration of the SH602HA-AP is remarkably versatile, encompassing 1×BT.1120, 1×DSI, 1×RGMII, 1×USB 3.0, 1×USB 2.0, 1×SDIO, 7×UART, 7×I2C, 1×QSPI, 2×I2S, and other abundant interfaces. Moreover, the module supports flexible external communication and positioning modules such as Quectel 5G, LTE Cat 1/4, Wi-Fi 6, and GNSS, allowing for quick integration of communication and high-precision positioning capabilities across various robotic applications.
Zhang Dong, COO of Quectel Communication, stated, “From lawn mowers and sweepers to cutting-edge humanoid robots, various forms of robots are profoundly reshaping human production and lifestyle. Quectel is committed to providing a solid edge-side computing and communication foundation for intelligent robots. The launch of the SH602HA-AP module not only achieves dual upgrades in computing and perception but, more importantly, significantly lowers the development threshold for high-end intelligent robots, injecting core momentum into industry innovation.”
