Benefits of AMD Versal AI Edge and its Adaptable Engines in Robotics:

  • Perception is what provides information to adapt to the environment - Sensor fusion accelerators in the adaptable engines offload the application processors
  • Adaptable engines perform low latency motor control and deterministic networking for synchronization across the system
  • Adaptable engines accelerates motion planning which is needed for navigation
  • Intelligent engines can perform AI to augment safety controls for dynamic execution, and accelerate real-time analytics with machine learning for predictive maintenance
  • Versal has built-in safety and security from bottom up for latest standards – AMD offer a simplified certification path for both secure and safe systems
