Cool Robots of 2023: Meet the Autonomous Movers and Shakers
From NVIDIA:
In 2023, several autonomous machines made strides in robotics, such as the smart stroller Ella, from Glüxkind Technologies, and robots from Inception members at CES.
Soft Robotics introduced mGripAI system, using 3D vision and AI to handle delicate items like chicken wings, attracting investors from the food industry.
Quanta uses the TM25S, an AI-enabled robot from its subsidiary, Techman Robot, for product inspection, reducing time spent on the task by over 70%.
Saildrone, an Inception startup, created uncrewed watercrafts that cost-effectively gather data and evaluate ocean health around the Hawaiian Islands.
Caltech’s Multi-Modal Mobility Morphobot, or M4, can configure itself to walk, fly, or drive and may be a candidate for a Mars rover.
Zipline announced its delivery drones flew more than 65 million miles, making 850,000 deliveries since 2011 and complete one delivery every 70 seconds, globally.
Two notable autonomous vehicles include a robotic wheelchair by Kabilan KB, and an AI-powered droid by Goran Vuksic, using Jetson to run computer vision models.
More than 6,500 companies and 1.2 million developers use the NVIDIA Jetson and Isaac platforms for edge AI and robotics, with a look at the future of autonomous machines coming at CES in 2024.
