Leveraging GPU Cloud Servers for Improved AI Model Training

by

GPU cloud servers are high-performance computing resources designed to accelerate tasks that require substantial computational power, such as AI model training.

Unlike traditional CPU-based servers, GPU cloud servers utilize Graphics Processing Units, known for their capacity to perform parallel computations efficiently. This capability makes them ideal for AI model training, where large datasets and complex neural networks are common.

B2B businesses are increasingly turning to GPU cloud servers to enhance the speed and efficiency of AI model training. [Read more…] about Leveraging GPU Cloud Servers for Improved AI Model Training

InOrbit brings RobOps to advanced robot simulations powered by Nvidia

by

InOrbit, provider of cloud-based robot operations (RobOps) software, is collaborating with Nvidia to “blend reality and simulation in robot deployments”.

This work takes the recently launched InOrbit missions to a new level, enabling end users such as logistics providers to define missions once, execute them in both simulated and real environments, and analyze the results through a single pane of glass, bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI-powered robotics technology and real-world applications at scale.

InOrbit leverages the Nvidia Isaac Sim extensible robotics simulator powered by Nvidia Omniverse to model complex environments and robot behaviors that closely match the real world. [Read more…] about InOrbit brings RobOps to advanced robot simulations powered by Nvidia

SeqSense shows how it built autonomous security robots on AWS

by

Japanese robotics startup SeqSense has built autonomous security robots using Amazon Web Services and Amazon’s platform for robotics

According to Japan’s national institute of population and social security research, the working population in Japan is expected to decrease by 30 percent in the next 30 years. A rapidly aging population in Japan causes a shortage of labor in the security space.

SeqSense, a robotics startup company in Japan, aims to solve this challenge by providing autonomous security robot service. They developed an intelligent security robot SQ-2. that patrols inside buildings.

It navigates by itself using pre-created map of a floor, patrol multiple floors by communicating with elevators. Their robot has been deployed in more than 30 office buildings, shopping malls, and airports in Japan. [Read more…] about SeqSense shows how it built autonomous security robots on AWS
