Universal Robots unveils UR AI accelerator

UR unveils the UR AI accelerator

The “AI Accelerator” is much more than just a development tool. It is a comprehensive platform that provides developers with everything they need to create intelligent, high-performance cobotic applications.

L'« AI Accelerator » est bien plus qu'un simple outil de développement. Il s'agit d'une plateforme complète qui met à disposition des développeurs tout ce dont ils ont besoin pour créer des applications cobotiques intelligentes et performantes.

  • Flexibility and Power: With the integration of the NVIDIA Isaac platform, the “AI Accelerator” offers developers a feature-rich working environment, allowing them to develop custom applications for a multitude of tasks.
  • Ease of use: The kit is designed to be intuitive and easy to learn, even for less experienced developers. The numerous examples and tutorials provided significantly accelerate the learning curve.
  • Endless applications: The possibilities offered by the “AI Accelerator” are vast: from object detection to complex trajectory planning, including quality control, this solution opens the way to numerous innovative applications in different sectors. 'activity.

Advantages for robotic integrators

As a robotics integrator, Revtech can use the “AI Accelerator” UR to:

  • Develop tailor-made solutions: Adapt Universal Robots cobots to specific needs with advanced AI capabilities.
  • Reduce development times: Benefit from a ready-to-use platform and numerous tools to accelerate the implementation of your projects.
  • Propose more efficient solutions: Integrate learning and adaptation capabilities to improve the precision and reliability of robots.
  • A constantly evolving ecosystem

Universal Robots is committed to supporting developers and integrators by providing them with a rich and dynamic ecosystem. The “AI Accelerator” is part of this approach by offering:

  • An active community: Exchange with other developers, share your experiences and find solutions to your problems.
  • Regular updates: Benefit from the latest advances in AI and robotics with frequent platform updates.
  • Quality technical support: Get the help you need to successfully complete your projects.

By putting artificial intelligence within reach of developers, this solution opens new perspectives for industrial automation. As a robotics integrator, you now have all the assets to offer your customers innovative and efficient solutions.

James Davidson, General Manager of AI at Teradyne Robotics, explains: “The UR AI Accelerator is designed for areas where AI will truly make a difference. If you develop solutions on our platform, it will reduce your deployment time while minimizing the risks associated with developing AI-based solutions. As part of our goal to take physical AI to an entirely new level, the AI ​​Accelerator is just the first in a series of AI-powered products and capabilities in the UR pipeline, all of which have in the goal of making robotics more accessible than ever. »

Unveiled the same week that hundreds of robotics software developers gather for ROSCon 2024 in UR's hometown of Odense, Denmark, a demonstration of UR's AI accelerator with a CNC machine maintenance application will be featured at the ROSCon exhibition.The PolyScope X platform is available worldwide and can be used for all cobot automation applications across all industries. Its advanced flexibility and extensibility will be showcased at the PolyScope X Festival in November, showcasing a range of 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 UR20 and UR30 next-generation cobots.
