on its annual 5G top event, Qualcomm has a new platform and reference design for 5G and fringeAI robotics solutions.
With the introduction of the new Qualcomm Robotics RB6 Platform and RB5 AMR Reference Design, the company’s new solutions will support the creation of more productive, autonomous and advanced robots.
However, these new solutions will also help unlock new commercial applications, including autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), delivery robots, highly automated manufacturing robots, collaborative robots, urban air mobility (UAM) aircraft, industrial drone infrastructure, autonomous defense solutions, and more.
By bringing Qualcomm’s together AI engine and 5G capabilities, advanced applications and capabilities, including enhanced autonomy for delivery robotsseamless fleet management for AMRs in industrial spaces, next-gen intelligence to support safe and autonomous UAM transport and more will now be achievable.
RB6 platform and RB5 AMR reference design
The Qualcomm Robotics RB6 Platform and Qualcomm RB5 AMR Reference Design enable OEMs and robot manufacturers to integrate ground robots into industrial applications in a number of industries, including government, logistics, healthcare, retail, warehousing, construction and more.
The RB6 platform delivers state-of-the-art 5G connectivity with support for global sub-6GHz and mmWave bands in mainstream, corporate and private networks. Qualcomm’s robotics platforms also have a flexible architecture thanks to expansion cards that can be added to existing devices.
Meanwhile, the Qualcomm RB5 AMR reference design is the world’s first AMR reference design to provide tightly integrated AI and 5G capabilities. This new solution will help accelerate the development of commercial, business and industrial robots.
Senior director of business development and head of autonomous robotics, drones and intelligent machines at Qualcomm, Dev Signh provided further insight into the company’s latest releases in a press releasesaying:
“Building on the successful growth and traction of Qualcomm Technologies’ leading robotics solutions, our comprehensive solution roadmap will help bring enhanced AI and 5G technologies to deliver smarter, safer and more advanced innovations in robotics, drones and intelligent machines. supporting robotics innovations with 5G connectivity and premium edge AI that will change the way we think and deal with challenges and the ever-changing industry expectations in the digital economy.”
The Qualcomm RB5 AMR Reference Design is now available for pre-sale through ModalAI, while the Qualcomm Robotics RB6 development kit is available for purchase through Thundercomm.
