…much-loved film series. The edge AI Jedi used an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit as the brain of the droid itself. The devkit enables the bot, which is a little less than four feet tall and has a simple webcam for eyes, to identify and move its head toward objects. Vuksic — originally from Croatia and now based in Malmö, Sweden — recently traveled with the pit droid across Belgium and the Netherlands to several tech conferences. He presented to hundreds of people on computer vision and AI, using the droid as an engaging real-world demo. A self-described Star…

…physics-based simulation tool, according to the company. It combines NVIDIA Isaac Sim, READY Robotics’ ForgeOS, and SCHUNK’s automation technologies. NVIDIA Isaac Sim is built on NVIDIA Omniverse and is a simulation platform used to develop, test, and deploy robotics applications using artificial intelligence. Its robust physics engine enables detailed, realistic simulations that closely emulate real-world conditions, said NVIDIA. The simulation will be based on physics-based technical product data from automation technologies such as grippers, said SCHUNK. This will allow for “true virtual commissioning of real-world automation projects,” it said. Simulating process automation with physics-based calculations will result in more accurate…

…oceanic monitoring by “sailing seas of data,” according to NVIDIA Corp. The startup’s nautical data-collection technology has tracked hurricanes in the North Atlantic, discovered a 3,200-ft. underwater mountain in the Pacific Ocean and begun to help map the entirety of the world’s ocean floor. Alameda, Calif.-based Saildrone develops autonomous uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) that carry a wide range of sensors. NVIDIA Jetson modules process its data streams for artificial intelligence at the edge. They are optimized in prototypes with the NVIDIA DeepStream software development kit (SDK) for intelligent video analytics. Saildrone said it is seeking to make ocean data collection…

…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…
