RBCar

Autonomous vehicle systems powered by NVIDIA Jetson and Intel RealSense depth cameras — depth-aware navigation built for real-world roads, logistics yards, and controlled environments.

Self-Driving, Tunisian-Made

RBCar is our flagship autonomous vehicle prototype — built from scratch on the NVIDIA Jetson Nano platform with Intel RealSense depth perception, enabling real-time obstacle detection and path planning.

Starting as our very first prototype, RBCar laid the foundation for everything RBLink builds today. It proved that autonomous depth-based navigation is achievable with accessible hardware — and scalable.

  • Real-time depth-based obstacle avoidance
  • NVIDIA Jetson Nano compute platform
  • Intel RealSense stereo depth camera
  • Lane detection and path planning
  • Remote teleoperation capability

Our Achievements

🚀
First Prototype
RBCar was RBLink's very first autonomous robot — built and driven successfully in 2024, proving the core depth-navigation concept works on Jetson hardware.
🎯
Obstacle Avoidance
Achieved reliable real-time obstacle detection and avoidance at up to 2m/s using Intel RealSense depth data — zero collision rate in controlled testing.
🧠
Onboard AI
Deployed object classification model on Jetson Nano at 15fps — pedestrian, cone, and vehicle classes detected and acted on in real time.
🌍
Foundation for RBLink
The lessons from RBCar directly shaped the architecture of our full robot platform — now used across RBIndustry and RBHome divisions.
