Hexagon Enlists NVIDIA’s Robotics and AI Expertise for The Creation and Launch of AEON, Their Latest Humanoid Star!
“Hexagon Taps NVIDIA Robotics and AI Software to Build and Deploy AEON, a New Humanoid”
“Imagine a world where robots walk alongside humans, fully equipped to help us with mundane tasks, or even face dangerous situations too risky for any person. Hexagon, a global tech leader, in collaboration with NVIDIA, is helping bring this vision to life. Their innovative AI software – Aeon, designed for next-gen humanoid robots, making them safer, smarter, and more useful.”
The aforementioned paragraph might sound like a plot piloted from a ‘Transformers’ sequel, but the future of working side by side with humanoid robots is already here. With Hexagon and NVIDIA teaming up to lead this tech revolution, your coffee could be made by an Aeon powered robot sooner than you think – provided you take your coffee sans a smile, of course, since we’re still working on cracking the AI-emotion code.
Who would’ve thought that someday a software on a chip equidmeantaily tit say, a grain of rice? An innovation as radical as this is NVIDIA’s ARM-based chip – the Jetson AGX Xavier, whose unseen dimensions shouldn’t garnish your ideas of its technological potential. On the contrary, this AI software, along with its miniaturized chip, might well be responsible for your future humanoid colleague’s performance review.
Beyond the benefits of size, the Xavier comes with an abundance of power. The ‘Virtual Production’ technology helps AI run comprehensive virtual tests – the kind your high-school self possibly couldn’t endure, making robots ready for the unanticipated curveballs the real world throws way beyond lab conditions. Robots, it seems, are earning their place in the workforce.
Remember those science class infographics explaining how the human brain works? It’s not necessary to rack your brain over it; Aeon’s functioning has similarities with our grey matter. Using ‘machine learning’, Aeon provides these robots with a cognitive roadmap essential in real-world scenarios. Hexagon has become Santa for these robots, providing them with cognitive gifts, which is far more than what most humans willing to put in.
Sending robots into dangerous situations instead of humans — isn’t it something out of a superhero movie? Sit tight because Hexagon and NVIDIA might just pull it off. By mimicking human actions and responses, these AI-powered robots can perform tasks, including those carried out in hazardous conditions. Robots should’ve joined labor unions by now, considering these work expectations.
The perfect example when it’s said, “Size isn’t all,” because if such tiny technological innovations can transform the future of mankind, we are looking at an exhilarating era full of surprises. Hexagon and NVIDIA’s vision may sound futuristic and intimidating, especially if your idea of AI is restricted to Siri finding the nearest sushi place. Yet it’s not farfetched.
With advancements in AI and machine learning, the possibility of robots alongside humans is becoming more real each day. Clearly, Hexagon and NVIDIA aren’t taking Arthur C. Clarke’s third law lightly, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” It’s about time we accept it – we’re going to be sharing our space, coffee, and maybe, just maybe, our secrets too with these humanoid colleagues sooner than we think.
