NVIDIA’s End-to-End Solutions for Edge AI and Robotics
May 24, 2022 | AUVSI News
Robotics and autonomy are evolving at a rapid pace, and new technologies are creating new benefits for businesses and society. However, continuing the advancement of uncrewed systems to deliver on these benefits requires advanced computing that supports intelligence, innovation and system security.
The NVIDIA® Jetson™ platform advances this ecosystem with a full suite that is relied on by leading companies to develop once and deploy everywhere. NVIDIA’s hardware, software, simulation, and imaging tools meet the massive computing demands required to train, test, and bring to market edge AI and robotics.
AI Software – As technology evolves to meet new market needs and reach new sectors, developers need to rapidly develop and deploy AI applications. All NVIDIA Jetson modules and developer kits are supported by the same software stack, so that customers using Jetson AGX Orin can leverage the full NVIDIA stack including Jetpack SDK, the NVIDIA TAO toolkit and pre-trained AI models. By accessing the largest, most complex models needed to solve robotics and edge AI challenges, developers will be able to reduce their time and cost for deployments. Learn more about these solutions.
Hardware – NVIDIA’s Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit delivers next-level AI performance for next-generation deep learning. NVIDIA Jetson Orin™ is designed for automated and robotics applications, and the computer system-on-a-chip is deployed by AUVSI member organizations. Jetson AGX Orin Series modules deliver up to 275 TOPS of AI performance and will be available starting July 2022; Jetson Orin NX series modules will be available starting September 2022. Get started developing for all four modules today with Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit, available now.
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) Platform – Advanced AI computing and highly realistic simulation solutions are powering the next generation of autonomous systems by allowing developers to train and test robotics in secure scenarios. The NVIDIA Isaac™ robotics platform can address logistical and warehouse challenges with an end-to-end solution to help decrease costs and accelerate the development process with enhanced robotics development, simulation and deployment.
Ruggedized Systems – Industries and environments with complex terrains are key uses cases for autonomous systems, especially where they can be leveraged to improve worker safety, increase efficiencies and improve situational awareness. Uncrewed systems and robotics operating in these settings have unique requirements for hardware, sensing and computing components. NVIDIA meets these needs by matching the latest AI models with demanding use cases.
