[{"type":"text","content":"The collaboration with NVIDIA adds the power of accelerated computing to robotics. The new AI capabilities will increase the application potential of Universal Robots while also powering enhanced functionality in the new MiR1200 Pallet Jack launching this week.NORTH READING, MA / ACCESSWIRE / March 19, 2024 / Teradyne Robotics, which includes collaborative robot (cobot) company Universal Robots (UR) and autonomous mobile robot (AMR) company MiR, has announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to bring new AI capabilities to automation applications.This week UR will be at the NVIDIA GTC global AI conference in San Jose, California, demonstrating an AI-powered autonomous inspection solution. Through this collaboration and for this showcase, UR has integrated NVIDIA accelerated computing into its cobot for faster planning, making path planning 50-80x faster than today's solutions. The combination of the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, a complete system-on-module (SOM) designed for edge AI applications, the cuMotion path planner from the NVIDIA Isaac Manipulator platform, UR's new PolyScope X software and its UR5e cobot platform is expected to increase application potential and efficiency for automation customers.Teradyne Robotics has also announced the launch of a new AI-powered solution for pallet handling, the MiR1200 Pallet Jack. The newest product from MiR harnesses advanced AI pallet detection powered by the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin module. The MiR1200 Pallet Jack uses 3D vision to identify, pick up and deliver pallets with unprecedented precision, even in dynamic and complex environments. With the addition of this Pallet Jack to the portfolio, MiR has become a one-stop shop for autonomous material handling at factories and warehouses.New capabilities unleashed through AI and accelerated computingThe MiR1200 Pallet Jack and UR's cuMotion demo are the two most recent examples of \"physical AI\" solutions, with others already available through Teradyne Robotics' ecosystem partners, OEMs and end users.Group President of Teradyne Robotics, Ujjwal Kumar, says, \"This is the first of a series of planned AI offerings by Teradyne Robotics. By adding high-performance compute hardware to our control systems, as well as investing in targeted upgrades to our software stacks, we are investing to establish UR and MiR as the preferred robotics platforms for...
