Addverb accelerates robot deployment and industrial automation with NVIDIA Isaac and Jetson platforms for edge AI and robotics
Addverb Technologies is at the forefront of redefining robotics, driven by its world-class manufacturing capabilities. With the ability to build and deploy 100,000 robots annually, Addverb is leveraging cutting-edge technology to deliver innovative automation solutions. By integrating the NVIDIA Isaac robotics platform in its operations, Addverb is bolstering the safe, seamless deployment of its robots, from concept through execution, helping provide reliable automation for its customers.
End-to-End Robotics Excellence: Building, Training, and Simulating at Scale
Digital twins serve as virtual replicas of real-world environments, allowing businesses to simulate and optimize operations before actual deployment. At Addverb, this technology plays a crucial role in developing robotics solutions. The process starts with creating a digital twin of the customer’s warehouse, which provides a controlled environment for testing and refining robots using synthetic data. This enables Addverb to simulate real-world scenarios and helps ensure that the robots are fully optimized for their tasks.
What sets Addverb apart is its ability to execute this entire lifecycle at scale. After the high-quality robots are built, they are fine-tuned using insights gained from the digital twin, enabling the prediction and resolution of potential challenges before deployment. This approach reduces downtime, enhances operational efficiency, and allows for seamless automation in even the most complex industrial environments.
Driving Advanced Robotics Innovation Using NVIDIA Technology
The backbone of Addverb’s robotics development is the NVIDIA Isaac platform for developing and testing next-generation industrial robots. The platform features the AI foundation models, GPU-accelerated libraries, and reference simulation tools to unlock autonomy for AI-enabled robots.
NVIDIA Isaac Sim, a reference robotics simulation platform built on NVIDIA Omniverse, provides a virtual environment where robots can be designed, tested, and simulated in physically accurate scenarios. This pre-deployment testing in a virtual environment significantly reduces the risks of real-world operations, preparing robots for dynamic and complex industrial settings.
The NVIDIA Isaac platform also includes NVIDIA Isaac Perceptor, a reference workflow of NVIDIA-accelerated libraries and AI models that enhances robots’ understanding of their environment through multi-camera capabilities. This enables better navigation and interaction within complex spaces such as warehouses and factories, improving both safety and efficiency.
Leveraging these GPU-accelerated AI libraries, Addverb’s robots are designed to excel in various industrial automation applications. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are equipped to handle complex workflows with precision, while quadruped robots, trained on NVIDIA simulation technologies, navigate challenging terrains and perform specialized tasks. Additionally, collaborative robots (cobots) are advancing automation in areas such as pick-and-pack operations, using dynamic planning to execute tasks efficiently and autonomously.
NVIDIA Jetson Orin system-on-modules also play a pivotal role in real-time decision-making for Addverb’s robots. These powerful modules for edge AI and robotics enable quick estimation of obstacles and object poses. For pick-and-place tasks, these edge robot computers allow for rapid and accurate estimation of object positions, streamlining operations in sectors such as e-commerce and manufacturing.
Exciting developments are also underway in using accelerated computing for reconstructing haptic signals. This emerging technology is expected to enable long-distance teleoperation of robots, allowing operators to control machines with precise, haptic feedback, even from remote locations. The potential for real-time, hands-on control of robots across vast distances could open new doors in fields like healthcare, disaster response, and remote industrial operations.
Investment in Research and Development
At the core of continuous innovation in robotics lies significant investment in research and development. Addverb operates two R&D centers—one in the USA and one in India—where cutting-edge technologies and robotics solutions are developed to meet the evolving needs of global industries. These centers are instrumental in refining products, advancing capabilities, and helping ensure that Addverb remains at the forefront of robotics innovation.
By combining large-scale manufacturing with the power of NVIDIA platforms, Addverb is leading the charge in developing intelligent, AI-enabled robots that will help transform industrial automation. The integration of advanced AI tools and simulation technologies enables the development of robots that are not only efficient but also capable of safely navigating the complex environments of modern industry. Through continuous R&D investment and technological collaborations, Addverb is helping to shape the future of automation.
