Robotics

RealSense and Nvidia have entered into a new partnership which is aimed at advancing physical AI through the deeper integration of depth-sensing cameras and high-performance robotics platforms.

This new initiative will combine RealSense’s new generation of AI cameras with Nvidia’s Jetson Thor computing hardware and simulation software, offering developers new ways to build humanoids and autonomous mobile robots.

The meeting of artificial intelligence and robotics almost unavoidably conjures up images akin to the Terminator -- but with Vulcan, Amazon has something different in mind.

Moving away from the traditional “numb and dumb” robot, Vulcan is described as a “fundamental leap forward in robotics”. Designed for used in its fulfillment centers, this is Amazon’s first robot with a sense of touch.
