Vecow has announced a strategic partnership with Cogniteam, a leading developer of AI software for autonomous robots and AIoT devices. The collaboration aims to integrate Cogniteam’s cloud robotics platform with Vecow’s EAC-6000 series Edge AI Computing System powered by the NVIDIA Jetson™ platform.
AMRs have become vital in various sectors, including manufacturing, logistics, intralogistics, retail and healthcare, due to their ability to provide operational flexibility. However, managing these robots across distributed sites remains a challenge. The integration of Congniteam’s cloud robotics platform with Vecow’s high-performance AI computing system aims to address this issue by using the NVIDIA Isaac™ platform and enabling seamless remote deployment and management of AMR fleets.
The Vecow EAC-6000 series, powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin™ NX system-on-module, offers up to 100 TOPS of AI processing power, making it suitable for demanding vision AI workloads. The system boasts extensive I/O interfaces, including 6 GigE LAN ports with 4 PoE+, USB 3.1 Gen 2 port, 2 USB 3.1 ports, 2 COM RS-232/422/485 ports, 1 CAN Bus port, 7 GPIO pins and 4 GMSL interfaces with PoE+. These features make the EAC-6000 series ideal for edge AI AMR controllers in facilitating AI (Artificial Intelligence) and AP (Artificial Perception) applications for precision positioning, real-time 3D mapping, and enhanced safety features. Meanwhile, the EAC-6000 series supports the NVIDIA JetPack™ 6.0 software development kit, which expands the Jetson platform’s flexibility and scalability to accelerate AI application deployment.
Cogniteam’s cloud platform revolutionizes robotics with its unified way to control, manage and deploy robots and AIoT devices, and is integrated with the NVIDIA software stack. Users can build custom dashboards for live data streaming and secure cloud recording effortlessly. They can also streamline software deployment, use comprehensive analytics for data-driven decisions, and optimize fleet management with centralized control. Cogniteam’s innovative platform, designed for seamless integration and maximum efficiency, is poised to elevate robotic systems.
The partnership leverages Cogniteam’s expertise in AI robotics software and Vecow’s Edge AI Computing Systems, powered by the NVIDIA Jetson platform for robotics, to enable use cases in factory automation, logistics, retail, and other AIoT/Industry 4.0 applications.
