How Will Nvidia's Increased Focus Into Robotics Pay Off

Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC) 2020 had a fair deal of announcements from DPUs to Edge AI and more. Robotics was one such area which saw prominent announcements. From a robot developer kit aimed for educational purposes to simulating robots in a real-world environment, Nvidia is showcasing an increased focus on robotics.

Having said that, its focus on robotics is not unheard of. With a dedicated robotics research team, it is enabling next-generation robots to physically interact with the environment and perform complex tasks alongside humans. The new Nvidia AI Robotics Research Lab, which was inaugurated in Seattle last year, focuses on areas such as robot manipulation, physics-based simulation, and robot perception. It exclusively focuses on building next-gen robots that can robustly manipulate the physical world and work alongside humans. It also has an AI research lab in Toronto that focuses on robotics.

In fact, Nvidia’s ISAAC platform for robotics has been in existence long before a dedicated robotics research lab was put forth by the company. It provided companies with a platform to build robots in a faster, smarter and safer way across industries such as logistics, manufacturing, healthcare and more. Nvidia’s Issac Software Development Kit (SDK) provides a comprehensive set of tools, libraries, GPU-enabled algorithms and tutorials to accelerate the development of robotics applications. It is the industry’s first robotic AI development platform with simulation, navigation and manipulation.

Making Sales More Efficient: Lead Qualification Using AI

If you were to ask any organization today, you would learn that they are all becoming reliant on Artificial Intelligence Solutions and using AI to digitally transform in order to bring their organizations into the new age. AI is no longer a new concept, instead, with the technological advancements that are being made in the realm of AI, it has become a much-needed business facet.

AI has become easier to use and implement than ever before, and every business is applying AI solutions to their processes. Organizations have begun to base their digital transformation strategies around AI and the way in which they conduct their business. One of these business processes that AI has helped transform is lead qualifications.

The Newbie Guide to Setting Up a Jetson Nano on JP4.4

As a newbie, my goal is to replicate the learning enviroment used by Nvidia’s Deep Learing Institute courses. I’ve done both the “Getting Started with AI on the Jetson Nano”, and “Getting Started with DeepStream for Video Analytics on Jetson Nano”. I like how those courses were presented. I liked using ssh to remote into the Nano and using Jupyter Lab to learn both AI, Machine Learning, and Coding.

For me right now, as a newbie, this approach to learning makes things so much easier. I know one day I’ll be good enough to get into an IDE like PyCharm or Visual Studio to deploy my projects, but for now my main goal is to breakdown the problem into the most basic and simple steps and build from there. So far I’ve found no better equivalent than Jupyter Lab to make this happen, especially with Python.

The steps I describe below is what worked in setting up the Nano to run “Headless”, allowing me to ssh into it and run Jupyter Lab from a remote computer (my laptop). I’ll try my best to explain the step in detail so it’s clear why it needs to be done this way.

Important note: The steps I discuss below are for an ethernet connection. Some of these steps may be different for Wifi.

The Heart of a Robot? Computer Vision & AI

Robots have long been a staple of science fiction stories. Robby the Robot, with a distinct personality and a dry wit, first appeared in the 1956 movie Forbidden Planet. And in the U.S. television series Lost in Space, the Model B9 robot had both superhuman strength and musical talents.

Of course, we are still a long way from fully autonomous robots that offer personality, protection, and companionship—on this planet, let alone in the farthest reaches of space. But we are starting to see glimpses of intelligent robots in a wide range of everyday applications:

• Greeting customers, answering questions, and guiding retail shoppers
• Providing information about hospital facilities and guidance on continuing patient care
• Receiving guests, guiding them to reception, and transporting luggage to hotel rooms
• Accepting payments and gathering account information in banking centers
• Shuttling goods around warehouses and serving as after-hours security guards

The Anatomy of a Smart Service Robot
