…robotics technology, along with tech companies such as Google, NVIDIA, and Intel. New-age AV startups such as Zoox, AutoX, and Optimus Ride have attracted huge investments. In addition, as AV companies grow to meet the challenge of human-robot collaboration at the level required to bring self-driving vehicles to market, the horizon for leveraging these solutions for other robotics applications could expand. There has been a lot of interest in delivery and disinfection systems during the pandemic, but are they sustainable as consumer habits shift again? Sharma: The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has increased an interest in robots, drones, and AI owing…

…design process and to incorporate AI into new products. NVIDIA’s Isaac Gem suite, for example, can be used for developing solutions for perception, navigation, manipulation and control in robotics systems. Developers can train and test robotics software using realistic virtual simulation environments. MathWorks added more deep learning enhancements to its latest releases of MATLAB and Simulink for designing and implementing deep neural networks and AI development. The Deep Learning Toolbox can be used to train deep learning networks for computer vision, signal processing and other applications. A Deep Network Designer app uses a drag-and-drop interface to help engineers build, visualize…

…games in the virtual world,” points out Konttori. “With NVIDIA RTX GPUs, the application really benefits a lot from the real-time raytracing possible.” Collaborative use of VR is not confined to Varjo’s customers themselves. “We keep a minimum number of people in the office. These are people who must put together new PCBs, for example. Out of the 130 R&D engineers we have, about 100 are working from home now,” says Konttori. Part of Konttori’s weekly routine is to review new designs of Varjo headsets. He does so by viewing the design in his VR-1 headset from home, using the…

…top industry leaders including executives from FANUC, Teradyne, and NVIDIA, as well as Greg Brown, vice president of the Advanced Technology Group at UPS. During the panel, Wise observed that traditionally, robots have acted as “sole agents” focused on narrow tasks and are thus historically not adept at operating collaboratively in integrated, multi-agent settings. But that is changing via interoperability with other types of automation, as well as people-centered workflows and data capture devices and technologies like printers, she said. After the panel, Wise said the value of mobile robots will increasingly come from how easily they integrate with other…

…sprayers, in the U.S. The company has also joined NVIDIA's Inception AI incubator program. In addition, it plans to begin sales in Brazil and Argentina by late this year or early in 2022. “This summer, because of COVID-19, we're planning to arrange online streams from the field in different languages to show how our robots actually work,” said Emelyanov. A vision of future farming Not only is technology changing how farmers manage crops; it's also changing the nature of the business, according to Emelyanov. “The farmer used to own his land and his machines, and he took on all the…

…with the latest advances in compute capabilities, such as NVIDIA’s Jetson product line and cutting-edge AI, such as deep neural networks, it becomes possible to structure the information so as to extract troves of useful features,” says Carlos Asmat, lead robotics engineer at Piaggio Fast Forward. “Given the increasing abundance of computational power, it becomes more advantageous to use sensors that can capture as much information as possible while remaining affordable.” Despite these advances, sensing technologies currently supporting smart home robots represent an early, transitional stage of development. Designers and users alike can expect steady change in this sector. “As…

…Crupi, vice president of edge analytics at Greenwave Systems. “NVIDIA just announced a GPU-based edge board called Jetson Nano for $99. And Qualcomm’s AI Engine runs on its newer generation Snapdragon-based boards. Ultimately, the best processor type will depend on power requirements, cost and use cases.” One Way to Eliminate the Bottleneck As impressive as the advances in the digital sector are, some developers have begun to look beyond conventional technology to explore new types of processors and computing architectures. In their search, designers increasingly place a premium on technologies that promise to deliver high throughput and excel at handling…
