…and construction to agriculture, logistics, healthcare, smart cities, last-mile delivery, and more. Jetson AGX Orin to help build AI-driven products faster Traditionally, developers and engineers have been limited in their ability to handle multiple concurrent data streams for complex application environments, said NVIDIA. They’ve faced strict latency requirements, energy-efficiency constraints, and issues with high-bandwidth wireless connectivity. And they need to be able to easily manage over-the-air software updates. Robotics developers have also been forced to include multiple chips in their designs to harness the compute resources needed to process diverse, ever-growing amounts of data. NVIDIA said Jetson AGX Orin is…

…next day, and in some cases even same day, delivery. In 2020 alone, more than two billion people purchased items or services online, with e-retail sales topping $4.2 trillion dollars worldwide. This means increased warehouse productivity is key to keeping customers happy – and not just those who shop online. Order picking is one of the most time-consuming warehouse activities, often exceeding 65% of total operating costs. Voice-picking or pick-by-light/pick-by glass solutions help workers reduce the process of traveling, searching and picking for items. In fact, while manual methods allow workers to pick approximately 75 to 150 items per hour,…

…and to achieve gender equality in this decade of delivery of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Tech industry has room for improvement Some numbers about women in tech from Kasee Bailey during Women's History Month in March: Only 24% of computing jobs are held by women. Research shows that, in the last 21 years, the number of female software engineers has increased by only 2%. The turnover rate is more than twice as high for women as for men in tech industry jobs—with one in three saying they experience gender bias at work. The biggest challenges women said they…

…weight of the drone changes, as in a cargo delivery application? “We have proposed some intelligent controls that can learn the answer to those questions over time,” Kayacan continues. “Now our direction is in using AI, so not only is there a navigation and control algorithm, but we can ask the AI engine to make some decisions and increase the autonomy level.” Racing to Innovate with AI and 3D Printing Kayacan says the lab is currently investigating the type of controls required for drone racing, which Lockheed Martin has made investments in recently. “Why is this problem important? It is…

…restaurants (QSRs). Launched last year, the system can reduce order-to-delivery time, increase food consistency, and provide a better working environment for human team members, said the company. Miso added that it is applying the lessons it has learned from brand partnerships in its first five years to continue evolving its products. The company did not specify when and if it would pilot its other robots internationally. “At Miso, we strive to create the commercial kitchen of the future and seek to offload some of the labor-intensive, dangerous, and repetitive tasks in the back of house,” said Jake Brewer, chief strategy…

…in the yard, such as interacting with over-the-road semi-trucks, delivery vehicles, or service vehicles. It also integrates with supply chain management systems. At the center of the Outrider System is an autonomous yard truck that hitches to and unhitches from trailers. It can also robotically connect and disconnect trailer brake lines, back semi-trailers with precision, interact safely with loading docks, and keep track of trailer locations throughout the yard, said the company. In addition, Outrider said its systems can help customers achieve their sustainability goals. Instead of automating legacy diesel vehicles, the company said it automates electric vehicles (EVs) to…

…in the Warehouse? Today’s customers expect same-day and next-day delivery guarantees. When they don’t get what they want, they can find another source with just a couple of screen taps or mouse clicks. For this reason, good inventory management - accompanied by the ability to drive goods through the supply chain at a high velocity - has become a must-have in today’s business world. Autonomous drones can perform mundane and repetitive inventory management tasks, as well as tasks that are dangerous for humans, such as flying up to view inventory on high shelves. “Drone tech is growing so advanced that…
