Case Study: Misty Robotics fast-tracks platform robot development with Lantronix Open-Q modules

Misty Robotics fast-tracks platform robot development with Lantronix

Misty Robotics sought to create a versatile platform robot named Misty II for applications in education, eldercare, and healthcare. Their challenge was to build a robot with advanced perception abilities and a personality capable of performing human-like tasks. To achieve this, they partnered with the vendor Lantronix for its engineering services and System on Module (SOM) products.

Lantronix provided its Open-Q 820Pro µSOM and Open-Q 410 SOM, along with critical design expertise for hardware, software, and certification support. This collaboration enabled Misty Robotics to quickly develop a market-ready prototype, significantly reducing the total cost of development. The resulting Misty II robot possesses capabilities like object detection, speech recognition, and temperature screening, with Lantronix's solution helping fast-track the product's path to market.
