…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…
