I often hear that large companies will withdraw from CES 2022 due to the rapid increase in the new colonavirus infected, but this home appliance Find is still an important place for robots, autonomous driving cars, smart gadgets, and their inventors.This is an opportunity to determine what is needed to incorporate practical mechanical intelligence into consumer goods.
Here are some of the innovation that VentureBeat heard at a preliminary briefing.
ORCAM and Sonatus are one of the companies that do not plan to business trips or CES on business trips to Las Vegas, and other vendors, which Venturebeat, may not participate in the event.Large companies such as Microsoft, Google, Intel, Amazon, and T-Mobile have withdrawn in recent weeks.The expansion reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and metavers are topics that must be proceeded without Meta (formerly Facebook).Automotive technology is a major theme of this event, but General Motors, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz have decided not to drive.It is).On the other hand, some companies, such as Perrone Robotics, have already shipped vehicles and set up test courses, which shows their commitment.
Nevertheless, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA, the National Home Appliance Association), which hosts the event, has decided to continue the show.Despite the drama of a large company, the exhibition and networking at CES said, "Thousands of small and medium -sized enterprises, entrepreneurs, and innovators that invest in the construction of exhibitions, inspire, and the future to CES.CTA's CEO Gary Shapiro has contributed to Las Vegas Review-Journal's editorial.
CES exhibitors sold everything to VentureBeat, including sexual wellness products, but VentureBeat sought a description related to the data that readers learn and the use of AI.In particular, consumer device manufacturers tend to use the smart device wisdom to use the smart device in the device itself without relying on the cloud updates.Therefore, it is worth studying as a pioneer in edge computing.
Enterprise technology may have to be learned from the consumer technology world, but vice versa is also true.For example, SONATUS's CEO and founder Jeffrey Chou states that one of the ways to improve the computer system of cars is to learn from a company's data center model.In other words, it is necessary to simplify the siloized software that operates on many small computers (ECU in car terms) and connect it with the middleware provided by Sonatus.This cooperation must be maintained in real -time performance of the safety system of cars and dealing with new concerns such as cyber security of cars.
There is no short -term solution.The long -term solution is to operate software correctly.(CHOU)
Apex.AI is talking a bit similar to improving software infrastructure for autonomous driving and other smart vehicle technology.In the case of the company, a series of expansion and optimization of his open source Robotics Operating System (ROS, a programming framework).
There is no company in the automotive industry that does not use ROS for prototyping.Our products help commercialize successful prototypes.(CEO JAN Becker)
According to Becker, the integration of automotive processors opens a way to more sophisticated software.
A more powerful central computer, which will be introduced by Tesla two years ago and will be introduced in all other companies in the next three years, is an infotainment for driver systems and gateway.In addition, it may be installed for vehicle safety functions such as ESP and anti -lock brakes.(Becker)
Becker, on the other hand, has pointed out that it has been many years since the enthusiast of autonomous car enthusiasts began to predict that the robot taxi was running around the city.
In fact, this problem is really difficult.In the last few years, our industry has come to understand which applications are commercially reasonable.(Becker)
For example, in passenger cars that need to be able to go anywhere, complete automatic driving can be used and the price is reasonable, and it can be put into practical use on a well -known and useful route that navigates well -known routes.There is sex.
Perrone Robotics applies the approach to cargo yards and automatic driving vehicles that circulate urban and campus bus routes.Perrone is affiliated with electric vehicle manufacturers such as GreenPower Motor, but also sells a post -attachment kit for automotive pedals, transmissions, and handles to automatically drive known routes at low speeds.
The path to autonomous driving is very long.My interest is what I can do now.(CEO PAUL PERRONE of Perrone Robotics)
In fact, he seems to be upset, rather than chasing state -of -the -art AI applications, and is more likely to prove that the logic is safe for driving a car.It seems to be.
Until you reach your destination, you cannot train with a stochastic learning system.(Perrone)
On the other hand, OTTOBOT has been used as a delivery robot, taking advantage of the innovation of automobiles such as the LIDAR range gauge, and has been navigating the concourse of the Cleveland International Airport since December 2020.OTTOBOT has recently partnered with Presto, Restaurant Tech Companies, and has announced that it will deliver the dishes and parking lots ordered with smaller labor.
OTTOBOT uses the technology of autonomous driving cars, but as it depends on the GPS navigation as well as cars, so that many other delivery bots can go to places that can not be done.I woke up.For example, to work at the airport, OTTOBOT creates a software simulation for the floor plan.
Create a digital twin and navigate in it.(Ottobot CEO's Ritukar Vijay)
In order to proceed through crowds and see the barriers of glass, the arrangement of the sensor must be changed.
