…welcoming Brian Gerkey, former CEO and co-founder of the Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF), and his team to Intrinsic by acquiring the business of its commercial subsidiary, the Open Source Robotics Corporation (OSRC),” said Tan White. Intrinsic will also be acquiring Open Source Robotics Corporation Singapore (OSRC-SG). Tan White noted that the OSRF will not be greatly impacted by the deal because it is a separate part of Open Robotics. The foundation will continue to manage and offer open-source tools such as the Robot Operating System (ROS), Gazebo, and Open-RMF for free. Intrinsic plans to expand ROS tools Intrinsic came…

…ADLINK has also partnered with The Autoware Foundation, the Open Source Robotics Foundation, and the Eclipse Foundation to provide the IAC teams with open-source tools and expertise, from Robot Operating System and ROS 2 robotics controllers to edge AI systems. The Taiwan-based company is supplying each university team with an ADLINK AVA-3501-series rugged edge platform for in-vehicle computing. The AVA-3501 uses AI to work through gigabytes of image analysis in real time to cope with the massive data load of high-speed, autonomous driving. All of this processing must be done in-car, at the network edge. The AVA-3501 combines the latest…

…Robotics in a blog post today. Mountain View, Calif.-based Open Source Robotics Foundation Inc. was founded in 2012 and forms Open Robotics with its Singapore subsidiary. The nonprofit has developed the Robot Operating System (ROS) and the Ignition simulation software formerly known as Gazebo. Hospital pain points lead to Open-RMF Open-RMF arose out of efforts in 2018 to get autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for cleaning, delivery, security, and other applications to operate in the same space within hospitals in Singapore. Productivity depends on such robots being able to communicate with one another and be orchestrated by human managers or higher-level…

…community,” said Geoff Biggs, chief technology officer of the Open Source Robotics Foundation. “NVIDIA’s new prebuilt ROS 2 packages, launched with this release, will accelerate that growth by making ROS 2 readily available to the vast NVIDIA Jetson developer community.” New reference AI workflows to save development time Before robots and other smart systems can be ready for production, companies need to optimize the training of AI models tailored to their specific use cases. This may include implementing robust security, orchestrating the application, managing fleets, establishing seamless edge-to-cloud communication, and more, NVIDIA observed. The company announced a curated collection of…
