Numurus opens advanced registration for NEPI Engine

-

Numurus announced that advance registration for its NEPI 2.0 software engine for AI and robotic automation development is now open. The NEPI engine comes pre-built with rich capabilities that engineers can leverage to speed up software development.

NEPI is free for developers, educators, students, and researchers who want to avoid one-third of low-level coding time and costs. It combines an abstraction to a library of plug-and-play sensors and robotic backseat drivers, drag-and-drop AI orchestration and automation tools, data and system management suite, and much more, enabling engineers to accelerate their product’s time to market.

Numurus, a member of the NVIDIA Metropolis program for vision AI, also announced that registrants would be able to access NEPI source code with build instructions or through preinstallation on NVIDIA Jetson Xavier and Orin modules for edge AI and robotics, making it easy and flexible for customers to use.

Numurus’ customers have reduced their AI and robotic automation software development times from years to months. Ocean Aero turned to the NEPI software engine to accelerate its advanced threat-detection capabilities for its autonomous platform, the TRITON. Within six months of starting its 360-degree maritime detection automation project, Ocean Aero interfaced five directional cameras with onboard AI and demonstrated threat-detection capabilities on its TRITON AUSV.

“The combination of Numurus’ NEPI software, off-the-shelf compute hardware, and its responsive engineering support team was a big factor in the success of this project. It saved our internal team many months of development work we’d otherwise have to do ourselves,” said Kevin Decker, Ocean Aero CEO.

Numurus’ NEPI is also used in the Lane Community College Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Program to increase students’ drone AI and automation education.

“The collaboration with Numurus marks an exciting development as it provides our students with advanced robotics learning resources without needing to do low-level, time-consuming coding that would otherwise consume the entire learning experience. As the work continues, we will look for ways to develop a new AI and automation curriculum for our drone students,” said Solomon Singer, UAS technology instructor at Lane Community College. 

“NEPI is the standard for robotic and AI automation development. Numurus’ customers have a tool to accelerate their development at a lower cost,” said Shanif Merchant, Numurus’s Chief Product Officer.

Merchant will be giving a talk titled “How to Fast Track Development Robotics Software and Reduce Costs” on October 19 at RoboBusiness in Santa Clara, CA. During the talk, Merchant will share several use cases where organizations using a collaborative approach got products to market faster. Attendees can expect to gain valuable insights into navigating these challenges through a collaborative development approach. You can also find Numurus on the show floor during the show in booth 318. 

RoboBusiness is the leading event focused on developing commercial robots. There will be 60-plus speakers, 100-plus exhibitors and demos on the expo floor, networking receptions and more. You can check out the current list of speakers, to which more will be added. The Pitchfire Startup Competition will again be held at RoboBusiness. During the competition, five robotics startups deliver five-minute pitches to compete for a $5,000 first-place prize and invaluable feedback from industry investors.

Chipotle testing avocado processing robot in test kitchen

Chipotle Mexican Grill announced Autocado, an avocado processing cobotic prototype that cuts, cores, and peels avocados before they are hand mashed to create the restaurant’s famous guacamole. The prototype, developed in collaboration with Vebu , is currently being tested at the Chipotle Cultivate Center in Irvine , California.  How Autocado works  A team member loads Autocado with a full case of ripe avocados and selects the size setting. Autocado can hold up to 25 lbs. of avocados at once. One at a time, avocados are vertically oriented, then transferred to the processing device. The avocados are sliced in half. Their cores and skin are automatically removed, and the waste is discarded.  The fruit is safely collected in a stainless-steel bowl at the bottom of the device.  A team member removes the bowl of avocado fruit and moves it to the counter where they add additional ingredients and hand mash the avocados to make Chipotle’s signature guacamole.  How the Autocado idea s

Intrinsic tested its latest platform and Flowstate with Comau , an Italian-based robot manufacturer and global systems integrator. Comau has been working with Intrinsic for several years now to validate Intrinsic’s platform technology and developer product, Flowstate, through real-world use cases.  Flowstate, announced earlier this year in May , is a robotic software development platform. It’s Intrinsic’s first developer product built on the Intrinsic platform. Comau was also introduced as the company’s first industry partner in May.  The Intrinsic Flowstate software  adds a layer of abstraction to traditional robotic software tools with the goal of reducing the development skillset required while making it easier than ever before to program a robot in simulation. “Partnering with Comau over the years has brought our team a tremendous amount of expertise, knowledge, and real-world use cases to focus our efforts on. We’re excited for what’s next and what it will mean to the solutio
