…and the Jetson platform, including Amazon Web Services, Cisco, John Deere, Medtronic, PepsiCo, and Siemens, NVIDIA said. To accelerate AI application development and deployments at the edge, NVIDIA has also created a Generative AI Lab for Jetson developers to use with the latest open-source generative AI models. Generative AI could transform industries Generative AI can ease development by enabling users to provide more intuitive prompts and change AI models, said NVIDIA. Those models can be more flexible in detecting, segmenting, tracking, searching, and even reprogramming anything, it said. In addition, models created with generative AI can outperform traditional convolutional neural…

…with sustainable and more efficient food production? Companies like John Deere, Monarch Tractor, Verdant, Agrist, FarmWise, and many others are creating unique and compelling solutions. Logistics and manufacturing will continue to leverage robotics as they have for years. I am particularly interested to see the emergence of mobile manipulators in this space. We have always had mobile robots that moved things from Point A to Point B and manipulators that have done picking and sorting. But mobile manipulators will be able to move to a location and then do more complex manipulation tasks. This will allow more processes and tasks…

…get the job done. The team recently announced that John Deere is taking advantage of its technology on its autonomous tractors. It's not uncommon for things like rain, dust, snow, the sun, and other conditions to obstruct or muddy the view of the tractor's vision system. That's where SparkAI comes in. Kohen said that Deere's tractors can operate independently most of the time, but SparkAI “helps the company handle the limited moments when inevitable edge cases occur,” he said. “That relationship is low volume but extremely high value,” Kohen said. In other instances, a customer’s AI model might only be…

…farmers. Agricultural industry leaders and automation innovators such as John Deere are developing robots that can not only replace backbreaking labor but also reduce waste and add insights for farmers. Here are three broad types of agriculture robots: 1. Agriculture robots for harvesting Harvesting is one of the most common tasks for agriculture robots. In fact, in many developed countries, especially in horticulture sector, an increasing amount of the fruit and vegetable picking is done with the help of these robots. Though a fairly tedious job, harvesting also requires delicate handling since fruits and vegetables are highly susceptible to bruises,…

…Robotics Summit last month in New York, Founding Partner John Frankel conveyed this enthusiasm to a packed house of 300 tech luminaries. Frankel’s confidence has been fostered by more than 15 years of portfolio management experience with both fair weather and stormy seas, while at the same time hooking the next billion-dollar opportunities. As I review three big takeaways from the summit, each reverbarates the same chord – automation is on the upswing, despite grim financial news. 1. COVID has a multiplier effect While the S&P 500 has declined over 20% since January 2022, the robotics market has climbed close…
