Here's the comparison of the two LIPS AMR perception dev kits on the three dimensions you asked about:
PDK-1 vs PDK-4 Comparison
| PDK-1 (1 CAM) | PDK-4 (4 CAM) | |
|---|---|---|
| Jetson module | Jetson Orin NX 16 GB (IPC) | Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB (IPC) |
| Onboard storage | 128 GB | 512 GB |
| Power input | 12 V | 24 V |
Key differences:
- Jetson module: The PDK-1 pairs its single LIPSedge AE470 active-stereo depth camera with a Jetson Orin NX 16GB IPC, while the PDK-4 drives four LIPSedge AE470 depth cameras (270° FoV) with the larger Jetson AGX Orin 64GB IPC. lips-hci.com +1lips-hci.com ↗“one LIPSedge AE470 active-stereo depth camera and a Jetson Orin NX 16GB IPC”lips-hci.com ↗“four LIPSedge AE470 depth cameras (270 deg FoV) and a Jetson AGX Orin 64GB IPC”
- Compute headroom: The AGX Orin in the PDK-4 delivers 5.32 FP32 TFLOPS vs 1.88 TFLOPS for the Orin NX in the PDK-1 — relevant if you'll be running multi-camera depth + perception stacks on the four-camera rig. lips-hci.com +1lips-hci.com ↗“performance.max_fp32_tflops=1.88 TFLOPS”lips-hci.com ↗“performance.max_fp32_tflops=5.32 TFLOPS”
- Storage: 4× more onboard storage on the PDK-4 (512 GB vs 128 GB) — useful for logging multi-camera depth data in the field. lips-hci.com +1lips-hci.com ↗“storage.onboard_storage_gb=128 GB”lips-hci.com ↗“storage.onboard_storage_gb=512 GB”
- Power: PDK-1 runs on a 12 V input; PDK-4 requires 24 V — factor this into your AMR battery/power rail design. lips-hci.com +1lips-hci.com ↗“power.power_input=12-12 V”lips-hci.com ↗“power.power_input=24-24 V”
One thermal note worth checking for a prototype: the PDK-4's operating range (–20 °C to 55 °C) is rated as requiring airflow, whereas the PDK-1 spans –20 °C to 70 °C (depending on SKU or module). lips-hci.com +1lips-hci.com ↗“thermal.max_operating_temp_c=70 °C”lips-hci.com ↗“Requires airflow”
