Yamaha Motor Adopts Jetson AGX Xavier for Autonomous Machines for Land, Air and Sea
13 9월 2018 - 12:05PM
GTC Japan—Yamaha Motor Co. has selected NVIDIA®
Jetson™ AGX Xavier™ as the development system to power its upcoming
lineup of autonomous machines, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang
announced today in his keynote address at the GPU Technology
Conference.
The Japanese manufacturer plans to make Jetson AGX Xavier the
brain for a broad portfolio of intelligent machines, including
unmanned agriculture vehicles, last-mile vehicles and marine
products.
The world’s first computer created for AI, robotics and edge
computing, Jetson AGX Xavier’s massive computing performance can
handle the odometry, localization, mapping, vision and perception,
and path planning critical to next-generation robots.
“Jetson AGX Xavier is a gamechanger for the autonomous machines
industry,” said Deepu Talla, vice president and general manager of
Autonomous Machines at NVIDIA. “Using Xavier to infuse intelligence
into its machines, Yamaha Motor will be able to bring to market
what once seemed impossible to create.”
“Yamaha Motor continuously strives to create inspiration for
people and meet their expectations,” said Hiroaki Fujita, chief
general manager of Advanced Technology Center and Solution Business
Operations at Yamaha Motor. “By standardizing our autonomous
machine development platform on Jetson AGX Xavier, Yamaha Motor
will transform all of our products with more intelligence, to
deliver excitement and the best experience for all users.”
Application of AI in Wide-Ranging
FieldsAutomating processes with smart machinery is
critically important due to Japan’s aging population, particularly
in the agricultural sector, where the average worker is 66.6 years
old and the workforce has declined more than 30 percent from 2010,
according to the Japan Ministry of Agriculture.
Yamaha Motor will develop Jetson AGX Xavier-powered unmanned
ground vehicles and drones to efficiently spray farmland, pick
fruits, and transport harvested crops and equipment. The company
expects to begin testing these devices in 2019, with the goal of a
public launch shortly afterward.
Staying in the Driver’s Seat of
InnovationYamaha Motor will also add Jetson AGX Xavier to
create a fleet of autonomous last-mile vehicles to transport
people, from shoppers to the elderly.
These vehicles will be targeted for use cases such as rural
regions where taxis and buses are not readily available. Some 7
million shoppers there require regular transportation, and that
number is increasing annually, according to the Japan Ministry of
Economy, Trade and Industry.
A Sea of PossibilitiesYamaha Motor is one the
world’s largest suppliers of marine vehicles. The company plans to
expand its presence with Jetson AGX Xavier to create autonomous
vehicles for use cases such as deep-sea exploration robots and
automated sailing of boats.
Availability The NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier
developer kit is available now for $2,499. Members of the NVIDIA
Developer Program are eligible to receive their first kit at a
special price of $1,299. Attendees of GTC Japan can also purchase
the kits onsite through local distributor, Ryoyo.
