Innodisk and Advantech Partner for AMR Vision with MIPI Camera Modules

This groundbreaking partnership between Innodisk and Advantech is set to revolutionize the field of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) by combining the strengths of customizable MIPI camera modules and Intel x86-based AFE-R360 systems. The collaboration aims to enhance AI-powered object detection and recognition capabilities, opening up new possibilities for visual applications in smart factories, warehouses, and retail environments.

The AFE-R360, based on the Intel Meteor Lake-H/U platform, boasts impressive features such as a 16-core processor, Xe LPG GPU, and integrated NPU in the Intel Core™ Ultra processor. This configuration enables high-performance, low-power deep learning execution for edge AI, making it an ideal choice for demanding applications in the field of robotics.

As the demand for computer vision in edge AI development continues to grow, MIPI interface cameras have emerged as the preferred solution due to their high bandwidth, low power consumption, and low latency. The AFE-R360 supports MIPI-CSI-2, ensuring seamless integration with embedded MIPI camera modules, thus streamlining the deployment of visual applications at the edge.

Innodisk's MIPI camera modules are renowned for their high-quality imaging, low power consumption, and platform compatibility. Key models such as the EV2M-GOM1 (Fisheye Camera) and EV2M-OOM1 (Global Shutter Camera) offer unique features tailored for specific applications, such as adjustable ultra-wide field of view and high-speed dynamic scene capture in smart factories.

By supporting major platforms like Intel and NVIDIA Jetson, Innodisk MIPI camera modules ensure easy integration and minimal development time, providing customers with a hassle-free experience. This collaboration between Advantech and Innodisk empowers AMRs with advanced object recognition capabilities, leveraging the powerful Intel® Core™ Ultra processors for real-time processing and responsive actions.
