Universal Robots has introduced the UR AI Accelerator, a ready-to-use hardware and software toolkit created to further enable the development of AI-powered cobot applications.
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 OrbbecGemini 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."
