…will enhance the industry’s efficiency, productivity and speed,” said NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang during his latest GTC keynote. How robotics simulation works, in brief An advanced robotics simulator begins by applying fundamental equations of physics. For example, it can use Newton’s laws of motion to determine how objects move over a small increment of time, or a timestep. It can also incorporate physical constraints of a robot, such as being composed of hinge-like joints, or being unable to pass through other objects. Simulators use various methods to detect potential collisions between objects, identify contact points between colliding objects, and compute…

…Partnerships and support Micropsi has worked with partners including NVIDIA, Universal Robots, and ABB. “NVIDIA was helpful when setting up our product, since GPUs [graphics processing units] are integral to any AI application,” said Vuine. “We have close relationships with the robot guys,” he noted. “Our incentives are perfectly aligned—we allow them to enlarge the total addressible market. Variance for end effectors is usually a barrier to adoption. They also bring interesting use cases for MIRAI, such as plugging in cables or gear picking.” “We also have a distribution network in Germany and the U.S.,” Vuine added. “In terms of…

…CPU performance, outstripping Moore’s law. GPU vendors AMD and NVIDIA are shipping utilities that help GPUs participate in new workflows. Companies that would create a rendering farm of networked PCs to create photorealistic images or animations in the past can now use GPUs. The price/performance comparisons are also shifting; for software that supports GPUs for advanced rendering, it is now cheaper to assemble a set of GPUs for rendering than to create (or rent on the cloud) a render farm. There are three main categories where the increased use of GPUs in design engineering is now advantageous, says Brian Hillner,…

…of the competition,” reported CNBC. Xpeng has been using NVIDIA Corp.'s DRIVE AGX platform, which includes the Xavier system-on-a-chip architecture. NVIDIA this month announced its intent to acquire autonomous vehicle mapping startup DeepMap. Billion-dollar race for AVs Xpeng, whose investors include Alibaba, raised $900 million in Series C+ financing in August 2020. The company raised $1.5 billion in its IPO on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and The Wall Street Journal said the company has a market value of about $32 billion. Several of this year's top transactions in robotics and related technologies have been around autonomous vehicles (AVs),…

…page describing the PAL USB. The vision systems use NVIDIA’s Jetson NX Carrier Board GPUs. Rajat Aggarwal, CEO of DreamVu, said NVIDIA’s chips have helped the company take advantage of more sophisticated software to better take advantage of artificial intelligence. Robots that can only take advantage of CPUs from Intel are more limited power-wise, Aggarwal said. Those limitations can pose problems since a good vision system needs a robust amount of data to work well. Photoneo combines two technologies to make new light technology Another important part of a vision system is its ability to take in light to analyze…
