Nvidia has announced the expansion of the company’s robotics platform Isaac; to recognise

Nvidia this Sunday (02) announced details of the expansion of the company’s robotics platform. Isaac. The information was conveyed by the company’s CEO Jensen Huang during the brand’s conference. Computex 2024.

According to the manager, these are already “tens of millions” Thanks to Isaac’s service, the number of autonomous machines powered by artificial intelligence (AI) is increasing in many different sectors. In addition to customers from various industries who adopted this feature a while ago, new big names have also signed contracts with Nvidia.

The newest partners include: BYD Electronicsthe lesser-known arm of the electric car maker; traditional Siemens; Teradyne Robotics And internalIt is an artificial intelligence and robotics startup owned by Alphabet, which owns Google.

These and other logistics, technology, industrial and engineering companies will use Isaac platform technology in warehouses, factories and distribution centers. The idea is Increasing the efficiency of these operations and making the environment safer for employeesRobots work in cooperation with human workers.

Intelligent automation and Omniverse

from Isaac, Machines are responsible for excessively repetitive tasks or those requiring millimetric precision.

The platform consists of: Multiple libraries containing core AI models and simulation technologies. This way, a company can train an autonomous machine to perform a specific task by first configuring and “training” the action in a virtual environment that Nvidia calls Omniverse, and only then applying those commands to the equipment.

The services offered include sensor kits, simulation and verification applications, and a training model for artificial intelligence.

In practice, BYD Electronics will use the platform to create a “complete line of autonomous mobile robots” that will work in factory logistics. Siemens plans to adopt it to create machines that help with tasks such as picking, moving and storing objects.

According to Nvidia, more than 100 companies are currently adopting at least Isaac Sim, the testing, simulation and verification mechanism of a robot that operates using artificial intelligence.

In addition to the platform, the company’s catalog also includes a language model for humanoid robots called Project GR00T, which has more potential for use in the coming years, and the Jetson Thor computer, which specializes in robotics.
