…We’ve known since the earliest days of CAD that interoperability is important in engineering software, and it turns out it is also important in the new world of AI and DL for product design. Much of the work to date in AI is based on open source data models, modified by users as needed for their products. This update adds six new deep learning models, making it even more useful when building CUDA code for a deep learning project. Autonomous automotive engineering gets a boost in this new update. MathWorks has added support for Unreal Engine sensor models. This allows…

…growing number of open-source contributions, such as support for interoperability standards and sample integration for ChatOps. Robotics designers can use the Developer Portal with the recently announced InOrbit Free Edition to immediately begin building rather than start from scratch, said Pestoni. “The portal goes hand in hand with our free platform,” he said. “Our mission is to be a catalyst for the adoption of robotics at a global scale. We see a lot of waste where people reinvent the wheel. It has the effect of slowing everyone down. We released the free edition to remove friction.” “Developers love to have…
