…buildings, shopping malls, and airports in Japan, said SEQSENSE. AWS adds capabilities to SQ-2 security robot SEQSENSE said its mobile robot's core technologies include localization, navigation, and 3D mapping using a super-wide field-of-view lidar. The company developed its original sensor to enable the robot to navigate in narrow aisles or crowded environments. SEQSENSE's 3D lidar technology. Source: AWS The robot also has a high-resolution camera, a 360-degree camera with three fisheye lenses, microphones, and speakers. Operators can monitor the robot remotely and communicate through it. SQ-2 can move around for up to six hours with a 1.5-hour charge, and it…

…simulation and validation technology and the onboard supercomputer, and AWS provided cloud computing and data analytics. The initial 31 university teams used open-source software including the Robot Operating System, or ROS 2. PoliMOVE pulls ahead in close contest Yesterday's challenge required racecars to take turns passing one another as leader/defender and follower/passer/attacker for the first time at speeds of 80, 115, and 155 mph (128.7, 185, and 249.4 kph). Six of the nine teams qualified for the head-to-head competition Saturday. In the run leading into the final race, the car from MIT-PITT-RW team stopped for software and safety reasons, allowing…

…manager for robotics at NVIDIA. “It’s available now on AWS RoboMaker, a cloud-based simulation service for robotics development and testing,” he said. “And, developers can download it from NVIDIA NGC and deploy it to any public cloud.” Using Isaac Sim in the cloud, roboticists will be able to generate large datasets from physically accurate sensor simulations to train artificial intelligence-based perception models, said NVIDIA. The synthetic data these simulations generate can improve the model performance and provide training data that often can’t be collected in the real world, it said. Developers can now test an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) in…
