As robots deploy in dynamic and challenging environments, designing AI-empowered robots is becoming increasingly complex, especially where robots and humans share common operating areas. Therefore, the next-generation AI robots will need not only eyes to see, sense, and navigate, but also intelligence to interact and make decisions to ensure that human–robot interactions are dependable and safe. We'll discuss key factors to achieve this: (1) AI capabilities on edge robots; (2) ROS2 integration; and (3) large-scale management. We utilize NVIDIA Jetson Orin platform and RTX GPUs for AI-accelerated robot learning at scale for a variety of tasks, and we develop dedicated software to accelerate deployment and management.
