Cogniteam is supporting the Nvidia Jetson edge AI platform into its cloud-based robotics development and deployment platform, allowing cloud-enabled deployments to use Nvidia technology for the first time.
More customers are moving over to Nvidia’s GPU-accelerated technologies that can be developed and deployed through the cloud.
This is made possible by Nimbus’s packaging of field-tested software, such as sensors and AI capabilities, based on over a decade of Cogniteam’s work with enterprise businesses. [Read more…] about Cogniteam’s Nimbus supports cloud-enabled robot management powered by Nvidia Jetson
Nvidia has unveiled initiatives to deliver a suite of perception technologies to the Robot Operating System (ROS) developer community.
The chipmaker says these initiatives will “reduce development time and improve performance for developers seeking to incorporate cutting-edge computer vision and AI/ML functionality into their ROS-based robotics applications”.
Nvidia and Open Robotics, the organisation which maintains ROS, have entered into an agreement to accelerate ROS 2 performance on Nvidia’s Jetson edge AI platform and GPU-based systems and to enable seamless simulation interoperability between Open Robotics’s Ignition Gazebo and Nvidia Isaac Sim on Omniverse.

Developers around the world are using advanced artificial intelligence to effectively automate custom software engineering processes.
There are several distinct use cases for AI in manufacturing, software programming, and technological innovation. In fact, more then 50 percent of tech professionals are already using these solutions to streamline repetitive tasks, minimize human error, and reduce workforce expenses.
When properly integrated into the custom software development life cycle (SDLC), programmers can make faster decisions, operate 24/7, and accelerate product releases. As a programmer yourself, this may even help you solve complex problems and maximize operational efficiency. Read on to learn about the developers using AI to automate custom software engineering processes. [Read more…] about Developers Using AI to Automate Custom Software Engineering Processes
Are robotics something to get excited about?
When we think of robotics, we think of terminator, C3PO, and Wall-E, but there is so much more to it than just our beloved fictional characters, with developments in robotics having real-world consequences. Over the past few decades, the explosion in robotic technology has meant that we have been able to put a rover on Mars and send probes into deep space.
These robots of the future are not your stereotypical robots from pop culture, but they are incredible nonetheless and will change the world we know forever. We have passed the point of no return, and with the development of AI coming along too, things are really heating up. [Read more…] about Software that is Helping the Development of Robotics
If you are in the business of developing and selling applications for a wide variety of platforms, you may have encountered a number of challenges.
Apart from funding the project, there is also the issue of setting up systems that ensure the quality of the final product.
App development is complicated as it is, but it shouldn’t be costly and time-consuming if the end result is half-baked. [Read more…] about How to Streamline Your App Development Workflow
