The JAUS Expansion Module is a hardware and software solution for payload integration and platform compliance. JEM provides an inexpensive and quick way to upgrade legacy robots to meet the JAUS standards, and an open architecture device for rapid integration of 3rd party payloads to a robot. JEM is a lightweight, low-power JAUS module that can be customized for your robot and your sensors.
