By combining Slamcore’s Spatial Intelligence software with the TI TDA4x processor family it will now be possible to enable highly accurate and robust localisation, mapping and perception suitable for a range of industrial robotics and automation tasks.
According to Slamcore the combination of software and TI silicon, plus off-the-shelf, low-cost sensors represents a solution that will help to open the door to developers looking to launch robots and autonomous machines at commercial scale in the supply chain and manufacturing logistics segment.
Built for high performance vision applications, the TDA4VM uses an integrated SoC architecture to enable real-time perception, control and safety capabilities in autonomous mobile robots and autonomous guided vehicles, while also helping to reduce design complexity and cost.
This announcement will enable developers to short-cut the integration of spatial intelligence into designs featuring this chip. The new hardware/software combination has been proven in testing and has demonstrated a capability to create highly detailed, accurate 2.5D maps in real-time using an Intel RealSense depth camera.
“TI is one of the foremost developers of microprocessors for industrial robotics,” said Owen Nicholson, founder and CEO of Slamcore. “We are proud to have optimised our software to work with the TDA4x family of processors and thus bring our cutting-edge spatial intelligence to the many developers for whom TI processors are the first choice.”
