…of India's manufacturing industry.” DFI supports mobile robots with Qualcomm As the use of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) increases, the performance demands are also higher, noted DFI. The company has developed the QRB551, which it claimed is “the world's first single-board computer” (SBC) with the QRB5165 high-performance processor. This product works with Qualcomm's RB5 robot development platform, whose low power consumption and high performance make it suitable for integrating 5G networking and top-level edge AI for robotics innovations, said DFI. In addition, the QRB551 address AI applications such as appearance identification, defect detection, and human…
