Business driver | Robotics is an important tool for achieving the SDGs. Workers will be able to focus on decent work and new innovation by improvement of labor productivity using robot, as a result, they can move toward new economic growth.However, there are industries where it is difficult to apply current robotics. For example, agriculture, restaurant, food factory, etc.. The biggest challenge current robotics faces in the industry is how to control elastic and non-uniform object under variable circumstance.To apply robotics to any industry easily, this blueprint family develop and provide open software stack which can achieve the challenge. A secondary challenge is safe and reliable human-robot interaction. Robots must respond to safety and emergency commands in a wide range of unpredictable, phrasing, sequence, and stress. To meet this requirement robots need "always available" onboard HPC, real-time processing, with multi-thousand word vocabulary. To achieve this onboard – without any dependency on Internet connectivity (and public clouds) – poses an edge computing problem. | |
