Recently, one of the most important Robot technology exhibitions in the world, the Tokyo International Robot Exhibition iREX2023 was successfully held, and the new Autonomous Mobile robot platform jointly created by No. 9 Robot and NVIDIA — Nova Cater AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot, Autonomous mobile robot) was unveiled at the show, which is also the first time that it has been shown in Japan after being launched a few months ago.
Known as the largest robotics show ever, the Tokyo International Robot Show iREX focuses on robotics technology trends and future development directions, showcasing the most advanced robotics hardware, software and solutions, attracting the participation of leading robotics companies and research institutions from all over the world. It has attracted wide attention from industry professionals.
As a highly customizable and flexible autonomous driving research and development platform, Nova Cater AMR can not only easily cope with tasks such as environment perception, 3D map construction and autonomous navigation, but also perform well in large-scale deployment, providing developers with a faster and more reliable software and hardware platform, which can customize services according to different needs of enterprises. Such as warehouse AMR drawing, warehouse transportation, scientific research simulation, etc., for enterprises to improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, while ensuring operation safety.
At the beginning of its launch, Nova Cater AMR has been widely recognized and focused by the industry, due to the joint investment of two global leading companies – Nine Robotics and Nvidia.
In terms of the intelligent mobility capability of Nova Cater AMR and the integrated manufacturing of hardware, the No. 9 robot brand under No. 9 Company, the world’s leading intelligent mobility capability company, will be responsible for the integration and development support. The No. 9 robot Mobility chassis (RMP) will be used as the intelligent mobility support, providing good shock absorption and pass performance for the products. At the same time, the high-capacity battery combined with the efficient wheel motor gives the chassis ultra-high load capacity and ultra-long endurance. At the same time, Nova Cater AMR is integrated by No. 9 robot as a whole, which also brings certain guarantees for product reliability and scale.
NVIDIA, as the world’s leading artificial intelligence company, has provided Nova Cater AMR with strong computing power and software platform support, using NVIDIA AGX Orin, which can achieve ROS 2 accelerated computing, while having full 360° perception from cameras and lidar. At the same time, it also uses high-performance computing modules and a variety of sensors, has powerful autonomous driving development software and tools, and a high degree of safety and reliability design, which can provide strong support for the development and realization of autonomous driving technology.
At present, Nova Cater AMR has been used in some factory and warehouse scenarios.
The appearance of Nova Cater AMR, jointly developed by No. 9 Robot and NVIDIA, not only impressed the participants once again, but also injected new vitality into the global robot and artificial intelligence industry. No. 9 Robot and NVIDIA give full play to their respective advantages and deepen technical cooperation, which is not only conducive to promoting the innovation and application of robot technology, but also conducive to accelerating the further development of artificial intelligence robot technology.
