Autonomous Mobile Robots Get Boost As Adlink And Lips Corp Unveil High-Performance Edge Ai Platform

ADLINK Technology Inc. has taken another significant step forward in its edge computing platform for artificial intelligence by partnering with LIPS Corp. to deliver 275 TOPS of processing power at the edge, specifically designed for advanced AMR perception. The integration of ADLINK’s DLAP-411-Orin with LIPS’ LIPSedge AE Active Stereo 3D camera series is poised to revolutionize the way autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) navigate and interact with their environment.

The partnership brings together the expertise of both companies to provide a comprehensive solution for AMR perception, leveraging NVIDIA Isaac Perceptor as the foundation. This collaboration enables developers to build more sophisticated AI-driven systems, capable of handling complex tasks such as payload extraction and placement in manufacturing and warehouse logistics settings. The integration also allows for real-time 3D depth sensing, image capture, and stereo visual odometry, making it an attractive solution for industries that require precise navigation.

The DLAP-411-Orin module, powered by the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin module, delivers a staggering 275 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of edge AI computing power. This level of processing capability enables multi-camera synchronization for vision applications and provides a significant boost to AMR performance. The addition of LIPSedge AE Active Stereo 3D cameras enhances the system with a wider field of view and higher resolution than traditional lidar, allowing developers to build more robust and efficient robotic systems.

Industry leaders have welcomed this technology, seeing its potential to transform the way AMRs operate in various settings. Luke Liu, CEO of LIPS Corp., noted that the integration of ADLINK’s DLAP-411-Orin with LIPS’ LIPSedge 3D camera complements NVIDIA Isaac Perceptor, offering a comprehensive solution for AMR perception. Ethan Chen, general manager of ADLINK’s Edge Computing Platform business unit, expressed his excitement about partnering with LIPS to enhance AMRs with perception and navigation capabilities.

The application scenarios for this technology are vast, ranging from automated quality inspection in manufacturing to material handling and sorting in warehouse logistics, as well as outdoor inspection and cleaning maintenance. The integration of the DLAP-411-Orin platform with LIPSedge AE Active Stereo 3D cameras has passed NVIDIA certification, making it a plug-and-play solution for developers looking to integrate AMR capabilities into their systems.

With its ability to deliver 275 TOPS of edge AI computing power and real-time 3D depth sensing, this technology is poised to revolutionize the way AMRs operate in various settings. As demand for intelligent automation solutions continues to grow, partnerships like this one between ADLINK and LIPS Corp. are likely to play a significant role in shaping the future of industrial robotics.
