# WIM Corp (llms-full.txt)

> WIM (주식회사 윔, WIM Inc.) is a Korean robot-control company. It builds the "brain" of robots: an NVIDIA Jetson-based robot controller and the robot control software that runs on it. WIM attaches its own controller to third-party robot bodies (collaborative arms, industrial arms, mobile manipulators) instead of using the body maker's controller.

### WIM Control Module - https://www.wimcorp.co.kr/en/product/wim-control-module

Control-Ready Robot Controller · Based on NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™ 64GB

WIM CONTROL Module is a Control-Ready robot controller: an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin 64GB Developer Kit shipped with a real-time robot control environment installed and tuned. The PREEMPT_RT kernel, CPU isolation, IgH EtherCAT master and WIM_CONTROL SDK arrive installed and inspected, so you can drive EtherCAT servo motors at a 1 ms (1 kHz) cycle right after power-on. It suits control development for humanoids and AMRs, manipulator research in university labs, and evaluation of AI-based robot applications.

The hardware is built around the Jetson AGX Orin module: a 12-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU, an NVIDIA Ampere GPU and 64GB of LPDDR5 Unified Memory shared by CPU and GPU, delivering up to 275 TOPS (Sparse INT8) of AI compute. The control loop runs on isolated CPU cores while the GPU handles vision/AI inference.

Real-time performance is secured at the kernel level. A PREEMPT_RT kernel is combined with dedicated control-core isolation, IRQ separation, fixed clocks and disabled deep C-states, and a p99 cycle jitter of 0.7–1.2 µs was measured in live EtherCAT operation at a 1 ms control cycle*. EtherCAT runs at 1 kHz on a PCIe NIC bound to the native driver, while the onboard 10GbE is kept for development and networking.

Motor control is handled by the WIM_CONTROL SDK. Its drive tier drives CiA 402 servo drives from a YAML declaration alone, without a robot model, with CSP, CSV or CST selectable per axis. Control functions are provided through ROS 2 actions, services and topics, and torque controller plugins can be developed in C++.

FAQ:
- Q: How is it different from a standard Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit?
  A: The hardware is the same. We install the PREEMPT_RT kernel with CPU isolation tuning, the IgH EtherCAT master and the WIM_CONTROL SDK, fit the SSD and EtherCAT NIC, and ship it after inspection.
- Q: Which servo drives can I connect?
  A: EtherCAT servo drives that follow the CiA 402 profile. Declare vendor_id, product_code, PDO mapping and per-axis limits in YAML, then run check → bench → approve. The hardware-verified drive is the Panasonic MINAS A6B; tell us your model when requesting a quote and we will check it.
- Q: Which robots can it control?
  A: Registered manipulators (Neuromeka Indy7 series, Huayan Robotics, FAIRINO) run on the manipulator stack; other EtherCAT (CiA 402) motor setups, including humanoids and mobile robots, run on the drive tier.
- Q: Can I run EtherCAT on the onboard 10GbE port?
  A: The onboard port uses the generic driver and is recommended for evaluation only. For 1 kHz operation, use the EtherCAT NIC ports bound to the native driver.
- Q: Does it work on sites without internet?
  A: The license is verified offline on the device, so it boots without internet. Installation and updates require an internet connection.
- Q: Does it support JetPack 7 or Jetson Thor?
  A: An Ubuntu 24.04 (JetPack 7) configuration is available. For Jetson Thor support, please contact us separately.

Research AI Robot Arm Set
High and low-level control at once — down to torque
One set: a controller integrating GPU, AI compute & control SW — plus the arm. Skip the setup — start your research right away.

- Both high-level and low-level control: Handle high-level control like vision and AI inference alongside low-level motor and torque control — all in one set. Customize whichever layer — high-level or low-level — your research requires.
- Customize low-level control algorithms: PID and ADRC are built in, and the control loop is not closed. Reach into the dynamics model (URDF, gravity) and implement the algorithms below in a 1kHz real-time torque loop (C++ plugin, Python — examples on request).
- GPU and real-time control in one box: AI inference (NVIDIA Jetson GPU) and 1 ms real-time control run together in a single box. No separate GPU workstation to wire up to the controller — the Docker and research environment come pre-configured.
