…example, one of these breakthroughs was the development of GPUs (Graphical Processing Units), which expanded the typical functions of CPUs. Big Data Supply chain and logistics companies produce and can use, a lot of data (big data), and AI requires significant volumes of it to show its full power. In the past several years, some new types of data have emerged, and in addition to an ever-increasing pace of data creation, they finally supply AI with enough juice to work to its fullest potential. Algorithmic Advancements They have improved in recent years as well, allowing the detection of patterns and…

…it said. NVIDIA stated that its graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated GEMs enable visual odometry, depth perception, 3D scene reconstruction, and localization and planning. Robotics developers can use the tools to swiftly engineer systems for a range of applications, it said. “With an enhanced SDG [synthetic data generation], improved ROS support, and new sensor models for generative AI, Isaac accelerates AI for the ROS community,” said Talla. The latest Isaac ROS 2.0 release brings the platform to production-ready status, enabling developers to create and bring high-performance robots to market, explained the company. “ROS continues to grow and evolve to provide open-source…

…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…

…can win a share in prizes, including NVIDIA A6000 GPUs and $2,500 (U.S.) cash. The story behind BenchBot BenchBot addressed a need in our semantic scene understanding research. We’d hosted an object-detection challenge and produced novel evaluation metrics, but we needed to expand this work to the robotics domain: What is understanding a scene? How can the level of understanding be evaluated? What role does agency play in understanding a scene? Can understanding in simulation transfer to the real world? What’s required of a simulation for understanding to transfer to the real world? We made the BenchBot platform to enable…
