…RoboDK provides dedicated builds for systems such as the Nvidia Jetson or Raspberry Pi-based industrial computers. “The software works just like the desktop version of RoboDK,” explained Samuel Bertrand, software developer lead at RoboDK. “The main difference is that the system can be controlled remotely from any browser.” With its remote interface, users can also access their TwinBox from anywhere in the world, with full control of all connected external robots, devices, and sensors. This allows users to monitor their robots remotely, in real-time, giving them more flexibility and control over their automation. TwinBox also addresses the challenge of integrating…

…page describing the PAL USB. 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…

…robot navigation, troubleshooting With AI pallet detection powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, the MiR1200 Pallet Jack uses 3D machine vision to identify, pick up, and deliver pallets. First introduced at LogiMat in Germany in March, the MiR1200 Pallet Jack can interoperate with MiR’s deck load AMRs, which the company said makes it ideal for large-scale enterprise customers who typically operate more complex workflows with larger fleets and multiple sites. MiR said its AMRs can navigate smoothly and safely among people and other transport equipment in dynamic environments, even on busy trade show floors. Sensors, 3D cameras and laser scanning…

…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…

…machine-tending application with new AI-based perception capabilities running on NVIDIA Jetson and Isaac acceleration libraries integrated into UR’s new PolyScope X platform. This combination enables dynamic path planning, ensuring the robot takes the most effective, collision-free paths in and out of the machine without requiring extensive user configuration. UR plans to make this technology available for a wide range of applications, including machine tending and other material handling tasks. “AI isn’t just hype,” said Ujjwal Kumar, group president of Teradyne Robotics, parent company of Universal Robots. “We’re seeing significant interest in physical AI. By adding high-performance compute hardware to our…

…vehicles], and UUVs [unmanned underwater vehicles].” “The motherboard supports NVIDIA Jetson and STM332 MCU [microcontroller units] for real-time control and I/O,” said Cross. “For example, to upgrade a camera for low-light sensitivity, we provide the basic software for adding software and increasing performance. Software updates are all packaged.” How much do marine robotics vendors rely on proprietary software? “It is an issue in our space,” acknowledged Cross. “Others have closed ecosystems and are harder to modify. Some of the large working-class ROVs in oil and gas are multimillion-dollar robots that are deployed off large ships that have control centers with…

…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…
