Teradyne Robotics, in collaboration with NVIDIA, will integrate the power of AI into robotics, revolutionizing automation applications. This partnership will bring exciting new AI capabilities to Universal Robots (UR) and MiR, the company’s autonomous mobile robot arm.
At the NVIDIA GTC global AI conference, UR will showcase an AI-powered autonomous inspection solution. By incorporating NVIDIA accelerated computing into their cobot, UR has significantly improved path planning, making it 50-80 times faster than current solutions. This collaboration will enhance automation potential and efficiency for UR customers.
Moreover, Teradyne Robotics has introduced the MiR1200 Pallet Jack, an AI-powered solution for pallet handling that utilizes the advanced capabilities of the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin module. This innovative pallet jack employs 3D vision to accurately identify, pick up, and deliver pallets even in dynamic and complex environments, making MiR a leading provider of autonomous material handling solutions.
The collaboration between Teradyne Robotics and NVIDIA aims to unlock new possibilities in the robotics industry, merging cutting-edge AI technology with real-world industrial expertise. With the incorporation of NVIDIA’s state-of-the-art AI platform, UR and MiR are set to become the preferred platforms for deploying AI applications in the cobot and AMR markets.
The cuMotion path planner from NVIDIA’s Isaac Manipulator platform, combined with UR’s cobot and PolyScope X software, enables a wide range of automation applications that were previously challenging to automate fully. This technology will simplify programming, enhance trajectory optimization, and facilitate path planning for various industrial applications, thereby increasing automation potential in diverse scenarios.
Additionally, the MiR1200 Pallet Jack, powered by the NVIDIA Jetson platform, offers autonomous navigation in complex warehouse environments. Equipped with advanced computing capabilities, the pallet jack can dynamically adapt its route to avoid obstacles, making it ideal for optimizing logistics efficiency and ensuring timely pallet delivery.
By leveraging the capabilities of AI and accelerated computing, Teradyne Robotics and NVIDIA are at the forefront of shaping the future of robotics, transforming automation applications and driving innovation in the industry. This collaboration signifies a significant step towards unlocking new solutions for previously unsolvable challenges in the robotics landscape.
