AGCO to use Apex.OS software for Fendt Xaver self-driving agricultural vehicle

SHARE Amazon Web Services Inc., a subsidiary of Amazon.com Inc., today announced it’s open-sourcing the device driver software at the heart of its AWS DeepRacer robots, its 1/18 th-scale autonomous racing vehicles designed to demonstrate machine learning technology. AWS DeepRacer provides a fast way to learn about machine learning programming by putting it into practical terms using autonomous vehicles as a real-world example of its use. In DeepRacer’s case, it is an Ubuntu Linux-based comp...

Canonical and Open Robotics partner for Robot Operating System Canonical and Open Robotics have announced a partnership for Robot Operating System (ROS) Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) and enterprise support, as part of Ubuntu Advantage, Canonical’s service package for Ubuntu. ROS support will be made available as an option to Ubuntu Advantage support customers. As a result, users already taking advantage of critical security updates and Common Vulnerabilities a...

Robot workspace to get human touch remotely Assemble, stitch, fasten, box, seal, ship. Wait, what can get done if assemblers, stitchers, and the others are staying at home? It’s been fairly easy for some to adopt a remote working model during the pandemic, but manufacturing and warehouse workers have had it rougher — some tasks just need people to be physically present in the workplace. But now, one team is working on a solution for the traditional factory floor that could allow more worke...
