…changing that. Enlisting NVIDIA Isaac Sim on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform, Intrinsic generated synthetic data for vacuum grasping using computer-aided design models of sheet metal and suction grippers. This allowed Intrinsic to create a prototype for its customer Trumpf Machine Tools, a leading maker of industrial machine tools. The prototype uses Intrinsic Flowstate, a developer environment for AI-based robotics offerings, for visualizing processes, associated perception and motion planning. With a workflow that includes Isaac Manipulator, a user can generate grasp poses and CUDA-accelerated robot motions, which can first be evaluated in simulation with Isaac Sim - a cost-saving step -…

…as NVIDIA Isaac Sim, an application built on NVIDIA Omniverse—can also provide physically accurate visualizations of the simulator output at each timestep. Using a robotics simulator for outcomes A robotics simulator user will typically import computer-aided design models of the robot and either import or generate objects of interest to build a virtual scene. A developer can use a set of algorithms to perform task planning and motion planning, and then prescribe control signals to carry out those plans. This enables the robot to perform a task and move in a particular way, such as picking up an object and…

…have access to more computing power (e.g., Nvidia GPUs, Omniverse, etc.), data, cloud-computing platforms (e.g., Amazon AWS), new hardware and advanced engineering. Many robotics startup companies are capitalizing on this “super evolution” of technology to build more intelligent and more capable machines. In parallel, there’s another phenomenon happening in the world: a “convergence of technologies.” It means that engineers are coming up with different silver bullets — engineering different algorithms, different hardware architectures, different methods, etc. — to solve the same fundamental problems. The Perl programming language motto, “there’s more than one way to do it,” perfectly captures what is…

…used to create a digital twin of Earth in Omniverse. Saildrone uses energy-efficient data processing Saildrone said its USVs enable researchers to collect more data using fewer resources than traditional boats and crews, conserving energy and keeping crews out of danger. The company has built its USVs for harsh weather and long missions. One robot recently completed a 370-day voyage monitoring carbon dioxide, sailing from Rhode Island across the North Atlantic to Cabo Verde, down to the equator off the west coast of Africa, and back to Florida. Running mostly on solar and wind power requires energy-efficient computing to handle…
