Humanoid Robot PCB & Processing System Design
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
Project Overview: PCB + Processing System Designer Needed for Humanoid Robot (LLM-Ready, Python/C++ Compatible)
I am looking to hire an experienced PCB designer or embedded systems engineer to design a custom control PCB and processing integration module for my humanoid robot prototype.
The system must support actuator control, sensor inputs, audio/video components, and also be capable of running local LLM models (7B or higher) for on-board AI processing.
1. Hardware & PCB Requirements
The board should support:
Actuators & I/O
USB or native interfaces for robotic actuators
PWM, UART, I2C, SPI, GPIO expansion
Support for IMU, proximity sensors, touch sensors, pressure sensors
Cameras & Audio
1–2 camera module interfaces (CSI/USB)
Microphone input
Speaker output
Power System
Stable power regulation for motors + logic
Battery compatibility (12V/24V Li-ion)
Over-current and thermal protection
2. Processing Unit Requirements (LLM Support)
The system must support running local LLM inference, for example:
Ollama models (7B or higher)
Mistral 7B
Falcon 7B
Llama 3 8B
Other optimized quantized on-device models
This means the PCB should either:
Option A: Integrate a powerful SoC module
Examples:
NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano / Orin NX
Raspberry Pi 5 + external NPU
Orange Pi 5 Plus (16GB RAM)
Khadas VIM4 or VIM3
Rockchip RK3588 boards
Option B: Provide connectors to mount an SoC as the “brain”
Such as:
Raspberry Pi CM4 connector
Jetson module footprint
Dedicated PCIe slot or M.2 slot for AI accelerators
The freelancer should advise the best option given cost, heat, and LLM requirements.
3. Software Compatibility
The system must support:
Programming Languages
Python
C++
Framework Compatibility
TensorRT (optional)
PyTorch / ONNX Runtime
Local LLM inference (Ollama, llama.cpp, or similar)
4. Deliverables
Complete schematic + PCB layout
BOM (Bill of Materials)
Gerber files
3D render
Wiring + interface documentation
Daily work logs and progress updates
5. Ideal Freelancer
Strong experience in robotics & embedded electronics
Has designed PCB boards involving actuators, cameras, IMUs, and audio systems
Knowledge of SoC integrations capable of AI/LLM workloads
Understands power design, heat management, and PCB safety
