Project Overview

Nexum 2.0 is a hybrid operating system for human-machine interaction, integrating robot control, computer vision, and artificial intelligence capabilities into a unified software framework. Unlike traditional robot systems, Nexum 2.0 emphasizes local AI processing—all intelligent computing is done on the device side without relying on external cloud services, which has significant advantages in privacy-sensitive and offline scenarios.

The system is built on Zorin OS, fully leveraging the flexibility and stability of the Linux ecosystem while being deeply optimized for real-time control tasks.

Section 05

1. System Kernel Layer (Kernel)

The kernel layer is the neural center of the system, responsible for:

  • System Management: Resource monitoring and process scheduling
  • Hardware Drivers: Unified management of various hardware devices
  • Module Communication: Providing inter-process message passing mechanisms

2. Hardware Control Layer (Hardware)

This layer abstracts underlying hardware operations and includes three core subsystems:

Kinematics Control Supports precise control of servo motors and stepper motors, with built-in Kalatec integration solutions. Developers can configure parameters such as maximum speed, acceleration, and torque of motors to achieve smooth motion trajectory planning.

Acoustic System Adopts a bionic ear design and supports high-fidelity audio collection. Configurable parameters include sampling rate (default 44.1kHz), buffer size, and gain, suitable for speech recognition and environmental monitoring scenarios.

Mechanical Structure Handles mechanical control and physical computing, providing a unified physical world abstraction for upper-layer applications.
