Edge Insights for Autonomous Mobile Robots (EI for AMR)

Develop, build, and deploy end-to-end mobile robot applications with this purpose-built, open, and modular software development kit that includes libraries, middleware, and sample applications based on the open source ROS 2* (robot operating system).

Overview

  • Enables code to be implemented once and deployed to multiple hardware configurations.
  • Accelerates deployment of customer ROS 2-based applications by reducing evaluation and development time.
  • Build complete end-to-end solutions from device to the edge and deploy solutions to the end customer.

Use Cases

Live Test of Robotic Operation Applications

Run sample applications on a mobile robot kit or development kit based on Intel® hardware to perform robotic operations such as object detection, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), navigation, and object avoidance.

Evaluate Applications for Optimization

Collect benchmark data, perform experiments, and evaluate applications as they are developed to optimize any applications running on EI for AMR solutions.

Customize Reference Software for Autonomous Mobile Robots

Modify and extend the system with your own software modules and custom solutions to meet your application needs.

Deploy Applications across Multiple Environments

Distribute mobile robot software applications across a range of configurations based on Intel hardware, components, and environments, including edge server and cloud.

Software Architecture

EI for AMR offers an end-to-end solution to assist developers to build, manage, and deploy AMRs at a low cost and fast with small teams.

The containerized ROS 2 AMR architecture provides consistent environments, accelerated development, and ease of deployment of AMR software. The SDK includes:

  • Optimized robot deployable containers
  • A full perception, navigation, and autonomy stack
  • Simulation tools
  • Development environment
  • Hardware accelerated algorithms optimized for getting the most from Intel hardware and software platforms

Manage robot fleet software via edge servers using Kubernetes* and microservices to provide support for:

  • Secure device onboarding
  • Remote inferencing
  • Container deployment
  • Blue-green testing
  • Over-the-air updates
  • Collaborative SLAM

Featured Components

Algorithms

Take advantage of included algorithms, such as:

  • FastMap for 3D mapping
  • Significantly optimized Point Cloud Library
  • Collaborative visual SLAM
  • Global path planner with intelligent sampling and two-way search
  • Commercial grade localization and mapping with KudanSLAM*.

Intel® RealSense™ SDK 2.0

Build depth applications quicker with one open source package that supports various platforms and programming languages, and includes tools and code samples that can be used immediately. The SDK allows depth and color streaming, and provides intrinsic and extrinsic calibration information. The library also offers synthetic streams (point cloud, depth aligned to color and vice versa), and a built-in support for record and playback of streaming sessions.

Intel® Edge Controls for Industrial

Create software-defined industrial control solutions with this prevalidated reference platform that integrates real-time compute, standards-based connectivity, safety, virtualization, and IT-like management.

Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ Toolkit

Develop and optimize AI and computer vision applications. This toolkit maximizes performance and extends workloads across Intel hardware, including accelerators.

Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit

Use one programming model to develop high-performance, data-centric applications across diverse architectures and vendor technologies. Take advantage of accelerated computing by maximizing the performance across Intel CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs with the included profiling and debugging tools. Migrate your CUDA*-based AMR solution onto Intel platforms.

Intel® Smart Edge Open

Speed up development of edge solutions that host network functions alongside AI, media processing, and security workloads with reference solutions optimized for common use cases powered by a certified Kubernetes cloud native stack.

ROS 2 Sample Applications

Use provided sample applications, such as a wandering application, to evaluate the performance of state-of-the-art algorithms, like visual SLAM or deep neural networks, on Intel platforms.
