…barriers to deployment. At CES in Las Vegas today, NVIDIA Corp. announced major updates to Isaac Sim, its tool for building and testing virtual robots across varied operating conditions in simulated environments. The installed base of industrial and commercial robots will grow by more than sixfold—from 3.1 million in 2020 to 20 million in 2030, according to ABI Research. “Broadly speaking, the challenge [for robotics developers] falls into two categories,” said Deepu Talla, vice president and general manager for embedded and edge computing at NVIDIA. “The first is continuous development and operations of robots.” “The second is runtime on physical…

…in R&D, in-house manufacturing and supply chain. With the NVIDIA platform: The Gemini 2 XL, when paired directly with the NVIDIA Jetson Orin system-on-modules instead of the OBox, allows for additional image processing resulting in further improvement in the depth frame rate, accuracy, and scene versatility. This optimized deeplearning pipeline and camera calibration service will be offered only as part of Orbbec’s ODM package. Customizable, Scene-Specific Algorithms: Support for customization of the AI depth output and the ability for customers to re-train the model with their own data sets to achieve better performance under their specific application environment will be…

The promise of the Jetsons has finally arrived as autonomous vehicles of all types come at us. Or is that promise really here quite yet? Leading the pack are commercial airliners that typically rely on autonomous control more than they do on pilots and co-pilots. Built as a completely autonomous cargo ship, the Norwegian Yara Birkeland is to set sail next year followed by Rolls-Royce’s autonomous tug boats and ferries in 2020. And, of course, there are autonomous drones, especially in military operations, that will one day make human-controlled drones a quaint memory. Clearly, the subject of autonomous vehicles is…

…can deliver nearly a 5X productivity gain over competing NVIDIA gaphics processing unit (GPU)-based systems, such as Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit and Jetson Nano Developer Kit using Isaac ROS SDK 4.6.1. AMD said it used the KV260 Starter Kit based on Kria K26 SOM, using Vitis Unified SW Platform 2021.2 and Kria Robotics Stack. Development time accounted for tool-chain setup with ROS 2, cross-compilation of host code, and creation of accelerators implementing two functions: doublevadd_publisher and accelerated_doublevadd_publisher. “The Kria SOM portfolio accelerates the design cycle for developers by starting at a more evolved point compared to chip-down design,” said…

…has improved integration and widespread adoption of ROS and NVIDIA Jetson software packages. Developers pick from a catalog of algorithms, AI, process control, spatial recognition, and more. The robot can then be tested in a simulated environment to understand how the robot will handle various scenarios before it ever leaves the production floor. “We are honored to have AAEON offer parts that are Nimbus enabled, allowing rapid uptime by syncing with a virtual environment,” said Dr. Yehuda Elmaliah, co-founder and CEO of Cogniteam. “In a few clicks, developers benefit from a system that’s already familiar with AAEON’s hardware specifications and…

…Rover missions. The M4 Morphobot is powered by the NVIDIA Jetson platform for artificial intelligence at the edge and robotics. The institute called the robot the M4 because it can fly, drive, walk, and do eight permutations of motion through a combination of its skills. “It grew in the number of functions that we wanted to do,” said Gharib, a professor of aeronautics and bioinspired engineering at Caltech, in a blog post. “When we proposed it to our design team, at first, they all said, ‘No.’” NASA JPL continues development Caltech funded the initial research.
