Numurus, a leading technology company, has recently announced that advance registration for its NEPI 2.0 software engine is now open. This revolutionary engine focuses on AI and robotic automation development, offering engineers a powerful tool to accelerate software creation. With pre-built capabilities and a range of features, NEPI aims to streamline the development process and reduce the time spent on low-level coding.
What sets NEPI apart is its accessibility. The software engine is completely free for developers, educators, students, and researchers, allowing them to avoid one-third of the usual coding time and associated costs. By providing an abstraction to a library of plug-and-play sensors, drag-and-drop AI orchestration and automation tools, a data and system management suite, and more, NEPI empowers engineers to expedite their product’s time to market.
Numurus is also a member of the NVIDIA Metropolis program for vision AI, further underlining the company’s commitment to cutting-edge technology. As part of the announcement, Numurus revealed that registrants would have access to the NEPI source code through build instructions or preinstallation on NVIDIA Jetson Xavier and Orin modules. This flexibility ensures customers can easily integrate the software engine into their edge AI and robotics projects.
Numerous success stories highlight the impact of NEPI on AI and robotic automation development. Ocean Aero, for instance, employed the NEPI software engine to enhance its advanced threat-detection capabilities for the TRITON autonomous platform. Within just six months, the company successfully interfaced five directional cameras with onboard AI, effectively showcasing threat-detection capabilities on the TRITON AUSV.
Kevin Decker, CEO of Ocean Aero, expressed his satisfaction with Numurus’ NEPI software, praising its contribution to their project and the time it saved them. Thanks to NEPI, Ocean Aero managed to reduce their development time by many months, a significant achievement in the industry.
Numurus’ commitment to education is also evident through its collaboration with Lane Community College’s Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Program. By utilizing NEPI, students at the college can enhance their drone AI and automation education, without being burdened by low-level coding tasks that consume valuable learning time. Solomon Singer, UAS technology instructor at Lane Community College, highlighted the benefits of this collaboration, emphasizing the potential to develop a new AI and automation curriculum for their drone students.
Numurus’ Chief Product Officer, Shanif Merchant, described NEPI as the gold standard for robotic and AI automation development. He highlighted how the software engine enables customers to accelerate their development while keeping costs low. To further discuss this topic, Merchant will be delivering a keynote speech titled How to Fast Track Development Robotics Software and Reduce Costs at RoboBusiness in Santa Clara, CA, on October 19. Attendees can expect to gain valuable insights into collaborative approaches that expedite product launches.
Numurus continues to innovate and revolutionize the AI and robotic automation development landscape with its NEPI 2.0 software engine. By offering engineers a free and comprehensive tool, the company is empowering them to bring products to market faster than ever before. With the added benefit of access to the NEPI source code and Numurus’ dedicated engineering support team, customers can expect a seamless experience throughout their development journey.
