This year’s showcase integrates cutting-edge technologies from ADLINK’s global AI platform collaborators, including Intel, NVIDIA, MediaTek, NXP, AMD and Qualcomm Technology, Inc., highlighting ADLINK’s expertise in cross-architecture and cross-domain system integration. Furthermore, ADLINK will feature deep collaborations with AUO Display Plus for advanced display technologies and Noble Machines for the development and field deployment of humanoid robotics, presenting a comprehensive edge AI ecosystem spanning computing platforms, smart displays, and robotic applications.

Industrial‑grade computing for real‑time autonomy

The APU is responsible for running the full autonomous pipeline — from sensor ingestion to real‑time vehicle control. In DUT26, the SBC35‑ARL will enable low‑latency processing at the edge, supporting reliable autonomous operation in a demanding motorsport environment.

• Receives data from sensors including lidar, cameras, IMU and GPS, and from vehicle networks
• Runs advanced autonomy frameworks such as YOLO v11 for perception, graphSLAM for state estimation, and MPC for control
• Outputs steering and torque setpoints that are transmitted via CAN to embedded control units for actuation
• Designed to operate in real time with minimal latency — a critical requirement for autonomous racing

A partnership that advances education and innovation

Formula Student Team Delft, founded in 1999, is a multidisciplinary team of nearly 90 students from Delft University of Technology who design, build, and race a new electric race car each year. The program provides full‑cycle, hands‑on engineering experience — from research and simulation to manufacturing, integration, validation, and competition.

By partnering with the team, ADLINK supports next‑generation engineering education and accelerates innovation in autonomous mobility, giving students access to industrial‑grade edge computing for a real‑world validation platform.

Product highlight: ADLINK SBC35‑ARL

The SBC35‑ARL is ADLINK’s latest high‑performance single board computer designed for edge AI and embedded applications. In DUT26, it will serve as the central computer platform for autonomy, enabling high throughput sensor processing and deterministic control execution.
