AM62A starter kit for low-power Sitara processors
The SK-AM62A-LP starter kit (SK) evaluation module (EVM) is built around our AM62A AI vision processor, which includes an image signal processor (ISP) supporting up to 5 MP at 60 fps, a 2 teraoperations per second (TOPS) AI accelerator, a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 microprocessor, a single-core Arm Cortex-R5F and an H.264/H.265 video encode/decode.
SYSGO and NexCOBOT announce partnership
SYSGO, specialist European provider of safety and security-critical systems, and NexCOBOT, a division of NexCom specialising in intelligent robotic control solutions, have entered into a joint technology partnership to provide the industrial robotics market with innovative and functional safety-certifiable solutions focused on Collaborative Robots (Cobots).
Absolutely buzzing: how biotracking is saving our pollinators
A team from the University of Oxford have been investigating the decline in insect populations and the impact this is having on our ecosystem. Biotracking technology is a system of tracking insect movements and behaviours on a large scale by using a combination of radar, optical systems, and miniature chips to monitor insects like bees.
Breakthrough helps free up space for robots to ‘think’
Engineers have worked out how to give robots complex instructions without electricity for the first time which could free up more space in the robotic ‘brain’ for them to ‘think’.
AM69 and AM69A starter kit for vision AI and general purpose processors
The SK-AM69 Starter Kit/Evaluation Module (EVM) is based on the AM69x AI vision processor which includes an image signal processor (ISP) supporting up to 1440MP/s, 32 tera-operations-per-second (TOPS) AI accelerator, eight 64-bit Arm-Cortex A72 microprocessor, and H.264/H.265 video encode/decode. The SK-AM69x is an ideal choice formachine vision, traffic monitoring, retail automation, and factory automation.
