For a few months now we’ve been running the Hardware Acceleration in Robotics Newsletter (last issue). The series is getting quite a bit of traction and subscribers so I thought I’d bring it in here for the community’s attention. The newsletter is led by my colleague @Pablo_Carrera and focuses on reporting about hardware acceleration in ROS, ROS 2, Gazebo and in robotics in general, including the activities we conduct at the Hardware Acceleration Working Group. Here are past issues:
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #15 - The ROS 2 hardware acceleration stack and ROBOTCORE™, RISC-V shines at embedded world, AMD bests Intel in cloud CPU performance
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #14 - Acceleration Robotics launch ROBOTCORE™ to speed-up ROS 2 robots, ROS 2 driver now available for ABB’s robot arms and more
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #13 - Three architectures that power the robotic, Festo collaborates with Isaac Sim on industrial automation, Apple announces the M2 and more
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #12 - ROS 2 HAWG #9, ROS developers choice awards, NVIDIA increases the power of Arm CPUs and Omniverse software and more
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #11 - ROS 2 Humble Hawksbill Release, NVIDIA robotics perception performance improvement for ROS 2 and more
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #10 - ROS 2 Humble Hawksbill with Yocto and PetaLinux, AMD’s robotics starter kit for the factory of the future and more
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #9 - RobotCore, RISC-V CEO seeks ‘world domination’, NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, Qualcomm unveils RB6 platform and RB5 AMR reference design and more
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #8 - Clearpath announces TurtleBot4 flexible addition to the ROS2 ecosystem, AMD EPYC processors include FPGA AI engines and more
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #7 - ROS 2 HAWG - meeting #8, ROS 2 Nodes for Perception, using NVIDIA Jetson to create real-time multi-camera pipelines and more
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #6 - ROS 2 Hardware Acceleration Architecture including cloud, Nav2 integration with NVIDIA Isaac ROS GEMs, RISC-V chip adoption and more
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #5 - Global robot software market to reach 7527 million $ in 2025, NVIDIA medical-grade chip with hardware acceleration and more
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #4 - Single-Chip Processors, a technical review of NVIDIA Jetson Orin and the new ROS 2 iRobot Create 3 and more
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #3 - Hardware-accelerated ROS 2 Pipelines, The Robotic Processing Unit (RPU) and more
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #2 - Nvidia Isaac ROS GEMs, Nvidia H100, updates to CUDA-X Libraries and more
- Hardware Acceleration in Robotics #1 - ROS2 for Self-Driving Cars, Intel world fastest FPGAs, Nvidia GTC and more
Plan is to continue funding this activity while maximizing value for the community so If anyone has tips or feedback, do feel free to reach out to @Pablo_Carrera or myself. You can also subscribe to newsletter in here if you’d like to receive them in your e-mail.
