Introduction
The edge intelligent system includesEdge AI+Edge Computing, performing inference and deploying deep learning models on the device side, reducing network latency and bandwidth consumption. Advantech provides a variety of embedded AI solutions to meet the low-cost, low-latency, and high-performance requirements of edge AI applications in various scenarios. Today, we will introduce the embedded AI solutions and share practical application cases.
Advantech has launched a full range of NVIDIA-based AI solutions, including various features designed around applications and global certification services.
Advantech’s solutions include DeviceOn software, TPM, secure encryption dongles, McAfee, and Acronis to support large-scale deployments.
Product design services include hardware customization, operating system porting and customization, as well as ROS pre-integration and validation.
With the continuous advancement of new artificial intelligence technologies,visual recognition, intelligent sensors, and smart robots have begun to be used in service fields such as warehouses, shopping malls, and retail chains. To keep pace with this trend, Advantech has launched theAIR-020 based on NVIDIA Jetson AI, focusing on AI computing for service robots. In recent years, this solution has been highly recognized in the market for saving human resources, improving service quality, and enhancing operational efficiency.
The commercial robot platform is designed for service robots, used for transporting food or packages. Service robots requiremultiple I/O ports to connect different sensor devices and cameras. For example, building intelligent delivery robots connect multiple sensors such as laser radar sensors, cliff sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and cameras to avoid obstacles and deliver packages to designated locations.
Service robots not only require the system to havestable and reliable AI computing power but also requirecompact size.The AIR-020 is lightweight and easy to install in such applications. It operates normally in a temperature range of -10 to 55°C. Additionally, the AIR-020 has a wide power input of 12-24V and features USB 3.2 type C and type A, COM, DIO, and CANBUS to meet sensor connection requirements. With the powerful AIR-020, customers can save time and resources, easily deploying AI across various applications.
Compact AI-ready system with rich I/O interfaces
Supports Jetson Xavier NX, TX2 NX, and Nano AI computing
Built-in 128GB M.2 storage and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS operating system
The semiconductor industry requires precise operations in wafer production. Modern AI technologies pave the way for wafer transfer robots, including fixed robots andAutonomous Mobile Robots (AMR). In AMR, the system requires a computer with good machine vision and AI capabilities to perceive the environment and respond in a timely manner. Additionally, compact size and low power efficiency are also important features for extending single-charge operating time and facilitating system integration in limited spaces.
Advantech has launched an industrial-grade system PC compatible with Jetson—EPC-R7200, equipped with NVIDIA Jetson modules, achievingup to 21 TOPS of AI environmental perception and detection capability. Itsadditional industrial I/O can be used to connect camera image data and robot reaction control. Most importantly, Advantech can provide end customers withpre-integrated and validated software development platforms, including Linux operating systems, industrial I/O drivers, as well as ROS software libraries and tools. This can save developers a significant amount of time and resources in building application runtime environments, allowing them to focus on artificial intelligence application development.
