…nearly 1,000 robots over a million square feet.” Neil Bentley, senior director of product management at Locus Robotics, succinctly described the history of the Wilmington, Mass. company. Locus recently surpassed the 3 billion pick mark across its deployments, a major milestone and one that grew from 2 billion to 3 billion item picks in just over eight months. The chicken or the egg? As Locus received funding and developed its offerings, the question of whether it was a software or hardware company came to the forefront. Locus’ Origin and Vector AMRs represent its physical entities, while the LocusOne warehouse automation…

…industry-leading applications from software companies such as Adobe, Autodesk, Bentley Systems, Blender, Clo Virtual Fashion, Epic Games, Esri, Golaem, Graphisoft, Lightmap, Maxon, McNeel & Associates, Onshape from PTC, Reallusion, Trimble, and wrnch Inc. Omniverse use cases grow worldwide More than 500 companies have been evaluating Omniverse, said NVIDIA. For instance, Lockheed Martin is working with Omniverse for wildfire simulation, prediction, and suppression. Its artificial intelligence center of excellence has launched an initiative with NVIDIA called Cognitive Mission Management to develop a strategy for emergency response and fire suppression efforts. “Using NVIDIA Omniverse and AI to simulate wildfires will help us…

…physics-based simulation platform for development of advanced driver assistance systems and automated driving systems that are based on sensor technologies such as radar, laser/lidar, camera, ultrasonic, DSRC [dedicated short-range communications] and GPS.” Software such as Simcenter Prescan allows automakers to train their artificial intelligence programs to make the right decision not only in routine events but also in uncommon but imminent events. For example, how would the autonomous pilot react to an elephant crossing the road, or a group of trick-or-treaters dressed up as pumpkins? VTD from MSC Software (part of Hexagon) is a virtual test driving software autonomous vehicle…
