Overview

    Vecow VTS-1000, a compact, rugged in-vehicle Time Syn Box built on Xilinx Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC, brings accuracy and reliability to synchronizing time-sensitive data for Autonomous Vehicle and Robotics applications. It features three key technologies - Time Winding, Time Stamping, and Time Keeping - to enhance multi-sensor synchronization, perception, precision, and position capabilities. Packed with software tools such python, Vchain and Vfuson, the VTS-1000 offers a comprehensive platform for the fast growing crucial missions that require Time Synchronization Technology. It targets Autonomous work vehicle, 3D mapping, unmanned surface vehicle, and embedded applications that required multi-sensor synchronization.
