…director of standards development for A3, in an interview. ABI Research agreed with Franklin’s view on the need for safety standards for robotics. It emphasized the importance of incorporating technology such as machine vision into future system designs. “The importance of automatic protection for industrial mobile robot safety cannot be understated,” said ABI. “While standardization and legal regulations are the driving forces in robot safety, a convergence with technological solutions is a must.” Along with the design process, it’s essential to include process, payload, and safety assessments. Process assessments evaluate the efficiency and accuracy of the robotics system. Payload assessments…

…$12.6 billion to $64.5 billion in that period, predicted ABI Research. However, coding software for autonomous navigation from scratch for each robot can make rollouts more complex, noted NVIDIA. Warehouses, factories, and fulfillment centers are often 1 million sq. ft. or more, making updating maps for AMRs a challenge, the company added. Integration with existing workflows, fleet management software, and warehouse management systems (WMS) can be complicated, it said. Huang announced early access to Isaac AMR as a reference platform to facilitate mobile robot development. First announced in January, it will be available to customers starting in July. “We built…

…in 2020 to 20 million in 2030, according to ABI Research. “Broadly speaking, the challenge [for robotics developers] falls into two categories,” said Deepu Talla, vice president and general manager for embedded and edge computing at NVIDIA. “The first is continuous development and operations of robots.” “The second is runtime on physical robots,” he added. “DevOps is many times more difficult, and we've been adding tools for simulation, which is the biggest part. We've been working on the Isaac robotics platform for over five years.” About Isaac Sim “We believe simulation is key to robotics, providing a virtual proving ground,”…

…2030, up from $70 million in 2022, according to ABI Research. Jetson helps deliver RaaS Cartken is among several autonomous mobile robot (AMR) startups using NVIDIA Jetson to make advances across agriculture, manufacturing, retail, and last-mile delivery. The company offers robotics as a service (RaaS) to customers in a pay-for-usage model. As a white-label technology provider, Cartken enables companies to customize the robots for their particular brand appearance and specific application features. A growing number of companies is offering RaaS for everything from on-demand remote museum visits to autonomous industrial lawn mowers, noted NVIDIA. Cartken relies on the NVIDIA Jetson…

…2030, up from under $8 billion in 2021, estimated ABI Research. Factories and warehouses are turning to AMRs to improve efficiency and safety at scale, wrote Gerard Andrews, senior product marketing manager at NVIDIA, in a blog post. “Order fulfillment is a massive industry of moving parts,” he said. “Heavily supported by AMRs, warehouses can span 1 million square feet, expanding and reconfiguring to meet demands. It’s an obstacle course of workers and bottlenecks for hospitals, retailers, airports, manufacturers and others.” Designing a full navigation, safety, and management stack for new AMRs can be costly and time consuming. NVIDIA's new…
