Solomon announced its collaboration with NVIDIA at COMPUTEX 2024. The duo will work on integrating Solomon’s product offerings with the NVIDIA Isaac robotics platform. With the upgrade, Solomon’s 3D robotics vision and augmented intelligence solutions should see a variety of improvements.
“We are thrilled to integrate the NVIDIA Isaac platform into our products,” said Johnny Chen, CEO of Solomon. “NVIDIA's advanced AI and robotics tools will enhance our product capabilities in 3D machine vision, robotics control, and augmented intelligence, helping drive greater innovation in industrial automation.”
As a result of the collaboration, Solomon’s bin-picking system will be improved by NVIDIA Isaac Manipulator accelerated libraries, which are based on NVIDIA Isaac ROS. Path planning and execution processes will be eight times faster, with path singularity occurrences slashed by 50% compared to conventional algorithms. When combined with AccuPick’s advanced image recognition, these improvements will enable smaller robot cells without compromising cycle time.
The NVIDIA Isaac platform utilises generative artificial intelligence (AI) to provide powerful foundational models for robotics. By leveraging NVIDIA technology, Solomon hopes to further its mission of bringing smarter automation to manufacturing, logistics, and other sectors.
“The era of AI robotics has arrived,” claimed Deepu Talla, Vice President of Robotics and Edge Computing at NVIDIA. “To meet this demand, NVIDIA is building a full-stack, accelerated robotics platform to enable ecosystem leaders such as Solomon to advance the deployment of autonomous machines across the world's largest industries.”
