Jetson TX1 Developer kit from Nvidia

Jetson TX1 Developer kit from Nvidia

Nvidia Jetson TX1 is the world’s leading visual computing platform for GPU accelerated processing in Mobile embedded system market. It is an example for low power and high performance computing platform. The development board looks familiar to the Micro-controller Aurdino, raspberry pi. But it is much more than the micro-controller.

Jetson TX1

It is basically powered by Nvidia GPUfor acceleration…

Jetson RACECAR Part 2 - RACECAR Steering Control

Jetson RACECAR Part 2 – RACECAR Steering Control

In the first article on the Jetson RACECAR project we described several tasks that need to be completed. The first task on the list that we’ve chosen to work on is building the Jetson RACECAR steering control. Looky here:

Background

In previous articles such as this one, we discussed connecting a servo to a Jetson Development Kit…

JetsonBot Part 7 - Autonomous Following - Vision Robot with a Create 2 Base

JetsonBot Part 7 – Autonomous Following – Vision Robot with a Create 2 Base

The first autonomous demonstration of the JetsonBot shows autonomous following behavior. Looky here:

Background

In most science fiction settings, robots are autonomous. The most famous movie robots all operate on their own; and most people assume that robots ‘think’ when they see them executing actions.

Most of the science fiction…

Jetson TK1 Create 2 Robot - Part I

Jetson TK1 Create 2 Robot – Part I

Decided to start a little project here, with the goal of creating an inexpensive vision base robot using the NVIDIA Jetson TK1 and the iRobot Create 2 base. The first step is attaching a base to the Create 2 Deco Cover. Looky here:

3D Printed Case - NVIDIA Jetson TK1

3D Printed Case – NVIDIA Jetson TK1

NVIDIA Jetson Forum member Tonyvr has designed a 3D printed enclosure for the Jetson TK1. Tonyvr has made the plans available for download. Here are some pics:

The plans include the the STL files you’ll need to 3D print. The size of the largest print you’ll have to make is 5.5″ (138 mm) which most consumer 3D printers are capable of handling. The case will hold not only the Jetson, but also a…

ROS - working on driver for DepthSense DS325 camera

ROS – working on driver for DepthSense DS325 camera

To give to MyzharBot a better 3D knowledge of the environment I’m working on the integration on ROS of the 3D RGB-D sensor DepthSense DS325 by SoftKinetic.

SoftKinetic DepthSense DS325

DS325 is a RGB-D camera based on Time-of-Flight technology.

Since december 2014 I started a good collaboration with the “NVIDIA Embedded Computing” team to unlock the full potential of Myzharbot. Nvidia is supporting my robotic project with technical guidance, hardware and software support.

MyzharBot is now being promoted at official Nvidia events and conference shows and it will be at GTC2015 in Santa Clara, California, next March 17-20, 2015.

GTC is the biggest GPU Technology Conference. Thanks to Nvidia I will have the possibility to meet the major GPU experts and acquire more and more experience in this field. This experience will be useful to give to MyzharBot more and more capabilities… I can not wait to put into practice all the novelties presented at GTC.

MyzharBot will not be alone in Santa Clara, it will be accompanied by the new robotic project (XRobotB its temporary name) made by Raffaello Bonghi… yes, two people from Officine Robotiche will go to California to speak about how NVidia Jetson TK1 can be used for robotics application with ROS and OpenCV, it will be a great satisfaction!

MyzharBot and XRobotB are powered by the same electronics  and by the same software running on the powerful NVidia Jetson TK1. They have different mechanics and they are a working example about how different mobile robots can share the same software if well written and well parameterized…

Stay tuned for the latest news
