…reference workflow for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) built on GPU-accelerated Isaac ROS. These cameras enhance depth quality and provide longer-range sensing in varied lighting conditions, which lets Isaac Perceptor - whose general availability was announced by NVIDIA at COMPUTEX - output 3D reconstruction and obstacle cost maps of any unstructured environment. Gemini 330 series provide clearer view The Gemini 335/335L/336/336L cameras operate in both passive and active laser-illuminated modes to ensure high-quality depth and RGB data output, even in challenging lighting conditions. The depth algorithms are processed in the camera by Orbbec’s latest depth engine ASIC and thus eliminates the…

…Manipulator is a collection of foundation models and modular GPU-accelerated libraries that help industrial automation companies build scalable and repeatable workflows for dynamic manipulation tasks by accelerating AI model training and task reprogramming. Foundation models are based on a transformer deep learning architecture that allows a neural network to learn by tracking relationships in data. They’re generally trained on huge datasets and can be used to process and understand sensor and robot information as magically as ChatGPT for text. This enables robot perception and decision-making like never before and provides zero-shot learning - the ability to perform tasks without prior…

…faster cycle times, each PickOne iPC runs off one GPU, allowing the system to process images faster than generalized AI. “We deal on the order of 10s of milliseconds,” Nieves said. “I don't have to have a constellation of computational power.” But it takes more than Goldilocks-sized computing to speed up pick cycles. Plus One exclusively deploys camera-off-robot hardware placement for image acquisition. After the robot arm picks a piece and moves out of the picking area, the camera captures the next image so the software can start analyzing it. “By the time the robot comes back, it already knows…

…microservice solves complex routing problems with multiple constraints using GPU-accelerated evolutionary algorithms. All of this happens in real time, while Isaac Mission Control coordinates the entire fleet using map data and route graphs from cuOpt to send and execute AMR commands. AI agents on the move AI agents can assist in large-scale industrial environments by, for example, managing fleets of robots in a factory or identifying streamlined configurations for human-robot collaboration in supply chain distribution centers. To build these complex agents, developers need digital twins that function as AI gyms - physically accurate environments for AI evaluation, simulation and training.…

…robotics together. At the center of the relationship is GPU-accelerated large language models (LLMs), which bring higher levels of adaptability and intelligence to various machines. The “human” brain of robotics “Autonomous robots powered by artificial intelligence are being increasingly utilized for improving efficiency, decreasing costs and tackling labor shortages,” Talla said. LLMs work as the language center in the robot “brain” and will allow them to better understand and more naturally respond to human prompts. As such, these machines will have the ability to learn from not only human interaction, but their robot counterparts. “Given these attributes, generative AI is…
