…by setting conditions on data values or using our SDK. When such an error occurs on your robot, you’ll be immediately notified in your Formant dashboard. From there, you have the ability to assess the issue and determine if a correction is needed right away or can be safely ignored. 3. Intervene and Resolve Errors So an error occurs and needs immediate correction. From your dashboard, you have the ability to resolve any error your robot encounters, on the spot. Whether it be teleoperating a stuck robot, restarting the robot, or launching a new mission entirely, you can immediately step…

…drag and drop ready-made NVIDIA Isaac software development kit (SDK) GEMs as “dockerized” components in Nimbus, said Cogniteam. Users also have better support for ROS 2 components and can upgrade them remotely, from anywhere in the world, it added. Jetson AGX Orin to provide power for AI decision making With Nimbus, robotics developers can now quickly and easily get a robot with Jetson Orin up and running, Cogniteam said. This is particularly useful for inspection, maintenance, sanitization, service, and various data-intensive scenarios that require a high degree of autonomy, it said. As more robots gain cloud connectivity, AGX Orin’s greater…

…NVIDIA Jetson TX2 module to transmit video streaming data. On the software side, the team uses the NVIDIA JetPack SDK for edge AI and the NVIDIA TensorRT SDK for high-performance inference. “Without TensorRT, our models wouldn’t run fast enough to detect objects in the store efficiently,” said Pavel Savkin, chief robotics automation officer at Telexistence. Telexistence further optimized its AI models using half-precision (FP16) instead of single- precision floating-point format (FP32).

…Jetson. On top of the JetPack software development kit (SDK), which includes the NVIDIA CUDA-X accelerated stack, Jetson Orin supports multiple NVIDIA platforms and frameworks such as Isaac for robotics, DeepStream for computer vision, and Riva for natural language understanding. Orin also supports TAO Toolkit to accelerate model development with pretrained models and Metropolis, an application framework, set of developer tools, and partner ecosystem that brings visual data and AI together to improve operational efficiency and safety across industries. Customers can bring their next-generation edge AI and robotics applications to market much faster by first emulating any Jetson Orin-based production…

…not currently provide, claimed the company. Orbbec offers an SDK for its ToF cameras. Source: Orbbec Orbbec enables industrial applications Orbbec said Femto is suitable for indoor uses such as tracking human forms, measuring small live objects, obstacle avoidance, and gesture recognition. The ToF cameras are useful for industrial automation and robotics, it said. A customized software development kit (SDK) is available to facilitate device integration. Unlike many other camera providers, Orbbec said it is an integrated design, build, and manufacturing company. It said it is capable of ensuring delivery of cameras at at any volume, from very small to…

…Kit and Jetson Nano Developer Kit using Isaac ROS SDK 4.6.1. AMD said it used the KV260 Starter Kit based on Kria K26 SOM, using Vitis Unified SW Platform 2021.2 and Kria Robotics Stack. Development time accounted for tool-chain setup with ROS 2, cross-compilation of host code, and creation of accelerators implementing two functions: doublevadd_publisher and accelerated_doublevadd_publisher. “The Kria SOM portfolio accelerates the design cycle for developers by starting at a more evolved point compared to chip-down design,” said Khona. It typically offers up to a nine-month savings in time to deployment, and developers do not need FPGA expertise, he…
