Nvidia continues its expansion into robotics software with the Mega An Omniverse Blueprint designed specifically for robotic fleet management. Offer, announcement CES Monday, specifically targeting warehouses, a place where massive robotics has been adopted during the pandemic. Even so, most still lack significant automation.
Companies like Locus Robotics have made significant strides in this world with fleets of autonomous mobile robotics. Ultimately, however, the future of warehouse automation is not a single company or solution.
It is an ecosystem where robotics of different form factors can work together to get the job done. These include AMRs, robotic arms, autonomous forklifts and possibly humanoids. Efficient, robot agnostic fleet management remains a holy grail for this world, and Nvidia is as positioned as anyone to address the need.
“Offers mega-enterprises a reference architecture from NVIDIA Accelerated Computing, AI, NVIDIA Isaac and Nvidia Omniverse technologies to build and test digital twins to test AI-powered robot brains that control robots, video analytics AI agents, tools and more. by doing scale,” the chipmaker notes. “The new architecture brings software-defined capabilities to physical facilities, enabling continuous development, testing, optimization and deployment.”
Mega develops digital twins of robotic systems and settings to determine optimal routes and workflows for robotics systems. German supply chain firm, Kion Group, officially adopts Mega for its workflow.
