Collaborative robotics specialist Common Robots has launched an AI Accelerator bundle, designed to ship a ready-to-run toolkit for these trying to work on artificially clever (AI) “cobots” — developed in partnership with NVIDIA and Orbbec.
“With the UR AI Accelerator, we offer our companions with every thing they should develop and deploy new, revolutionary AI options,” claims Common Robots’ president and chief govt officer Kim Povlsen. “We’re already a number one platform for taking AI cobot purposes to market and now we’re pushing the boundaries even additional. Probably the most thrilling half might be seeing the impression of those new capabilities for our companions and finish prospects.”

The bundle relies round a high-performance NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX 64GB system-on-module put in in a sturdy industrial chassis with the just-unveiled Orbbec Gemini 335Lg stereo imaginative and prescient 3D digital camera for imaginative and prescient and depth sensing. The system comes pre-loaded with a collection of demos constructed atop Common Robots’ PolyScope X platform — demonstrating every thing from pose estimation and monitoring to object detection, path planning, picture classification, high quality inspection, and state detection.
Common Robots is showcasing the brand new AI Accelerator equipment at ROSCon 2024 this week, placing the platform in control of tending to a operating CNC machine. For these with present {hardware} from the corporate, the bottom bundle consists of simply the Jetson, digital camera, and mounting {hardware}; a mid-tier bundle provides the corporate’s Management Field electrical interface; and the top-end bundle consists of one of many firm’s e-Sequence robotic arms as effectively.

“UR’s AI Accelerator is constructed for the place AI will actually make a distinction,” claims James Davidson, chief AI officer at Common Robots’ mum or dad firm Teradyne Robotics. “In case you’re constructing options on our platform, it should lower your time to deployment whereas additionally de-risking the event of AI-based options. With our goal to take bodily AI to a wholly new degree, AI Accelerator is simply the primary to market of a collection of AI-powered merchandise and capabilities in UR’s pipeline, all with the targeted objective of creating robotics extra accessible than ever earlier than.”
Extra data on the AI Accelerator is offered on the Common Robots web site; the corporate is taking pre-orders now forward of delivery in November, although has not publicly disclosed pricing.
