Designed for commercial and research applications, the UR AI
Accelerator provides developers with an extensible platform to
build applications, accelerate research and reduce time to market
of AI products.
The toolkit brings AI acceleration to Universal Robots' (UR)
next-generation software platform PolyScope X and is powered by
NVIDIA Isaac™ accelerated libraries and AI models, running on the
NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin™ system-on-module. Specifically, NVIDIA
Isaac Manipulator gives developers the ability to bring accelerated
performance and state-of-the-art AI technologies to their robotics
solutions. The toolkit also includes the high-quality, newly
developed Orbbec Gemini 335Lg 3D camera.
With everything seamlessly integrated, the toolkit offers
developers full go-to-market architecture and is ready to use
straight out of the box.
Through in-built demo programs, the AI Accelerator leverages
UR’s platform to enable features like pose estimation, tracking,
object detection, path planning, image classification, quality
inspection, state detection and more. Enabled by PolyScope X, the
UR AI Accelerator also gives developers the freedom to choose
exactly what toolsets, programming languages and libraries they
want to use and the flexibility to create their own programs.
“With the UR AI Accelerator, we provide our partners with
everything they need to develop and deploy new, innovative AI
solutions,” says Kim Povlsen, CEO and President of Universal
Robots. “We are already a leading platform for taking AI cobot
applications to market and now we are pushing the boundaries even
further. The most exciting part will be seeing the impact of these
new capabilities for our partners and end customers.”
James Davidson, Chief AI Officer, Teradyne Robotics,
elaborates:
"UR’s AI Accelerator is built for where AI will really make a
difference - if you're building solutions on our platform, it will
decrease your time to deployment while also de-risking the
development of AI-based solutions. With our objective to take
physical AI to an entirely new level, AI Accelerator is just the
first to market of a series of AI-powered products and capabilities
in UR's pipeline, all with the focused goal of making robotics more
accessible than ever before."
Unveiled the same week that sees hundreds of robot software
developers gathering for ROSCon 2024 in UR’s hometown of Odense,
Denmark, a demo of the UR AI Accelerator with a CNC machine tending
application will be displayed at the ROSCon exhibition.
The PolyScope X platform is globally available and can be used
for all cobot automation applications across industries. Its
advanced flexibility and extensibility will be showcased at the
PolyScope X Festival in November, presenting a range of the
solutions already developed with this new platform, including AI
solutions. With a small hardware upgrade, the software is
compatible with UR’s e-Series cobots and the new-generation cobots
UR20 and UR30.
