In this episode of Manufacturing Matters, Gerard Andrews, product marketing manager for robotics at NVIDIA, discusses how AI will be the key enabling technology for robot autonomy. A critical piece to achieving this goal is the NVIDIA Isaac robotics platform, an end-to-end solution for the development, training, testing, simulation, and deployment of AI-based robots designed to simplify development and accelerate time to market for customers. NVIDIA also uses an AI tool called reinforced learning to significantly reduce the trial and training time of a specific task, such as the dexterous manipulation of a robot hand the company has recently demonstrated. Although reinforced learning is primarily used in research, industrial applications are starting to deploy the technique — expanding the number of tasks and markets that will take advantage of these fine motor skills.
