…engine of AI innovation Each NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU in a DGX H100 system provides on average about 6x more performance than prior GPUs, said NVIDIA. A DGX H100 packs eight of them, each with a Transformer Engine designed to accelerate generative AI models. The eight H100 GPUs connect over NVIDIA NVLink to create one giant GPU. Scaling doesn’t stop there: Organizations can connect hundreds of DGX H100 nodes into an AI supercomputer using the 400 Gbps ultra-low latency NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand, twice the speed of prior networks, according to the company. Fueled by a full software stack DGX…

…the navigation for mobile robots. This ROS package is GPU-accelerated and uses NITROS to create efficient ROS pipelines with no communication overhead. It is also integrated with Nav2. For more information, see the Isaac ROS Map Localization package on GitHub. NVIDIA Isaac ROS Map Location package automatically calculates initial global pose in less than half a second. Image shows RVIZ on the left, and Isaac Sim scene top view on the right. Initial global pose of the robot is computed in less than 1 second automatically using the occupancy-grid-localizer package, to start navigation. This removes the need to manually provide…

…multiple AI application pipelines with the NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU (graphics processing unit), next-generation deep learning and vision accelerators, high-speed I/O, and fast memory bandwidth, explained NVIDIA. Developers will be able to develop systems for their largest and most complex AI models in natural language understanding, 3D perception, and multi-sensor fusion, it claimed. To demonstrate the performance improvement, NVIDIA ran some computer vision benchmarks using the NVIDIA JetPack 5.1. Testing included some dense INT8 and FP16 pretrained models from NGC. The same models were also run for comparison on Jetson Xavier NX. The company ran the following benchmarks: NVIDIA PeopleNet…

…intended to ease development With the integrated NVIDIA Ampere GPU (graphics processing unit), the Rugged Computer RPC RS A4NX processes data from multiple high-resolution sensors virtually in real time. The devices are thus suitable for demanding edge AI applications in robots and autonomous machines, said Syslogic. The Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit with software emulation for the Jetson Orin NX 16GB module uses the same software stack as all Jetson Orin modules. This allows software development to start early with a developer kit and then be seamlessly finalized in the production device, Syslogic explained. In addition, the Jetson Orin NX…

…of the NVIDIA Inception program, which provides companies with GPU (graphic processing unit) support and AI platforms guidance. The company develops unique models for every one of its gripping applications, each requiring specific data sets. Picking from piles of wet, slippery chicken and other foods can be a tricky challenge. With Omniverse and Isaac Sim, Soft Robotics can create 3D renderings of chicken parts with different backgrounds, like on conveyor belts or in bins, and with different lighting scenarios. The company taps into Isaac Replicator to develop synthetic data, generating hundreds of thousands of images per model and distributing that…

…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 environments. Photoneo says its patented…
