High-precision positioning from u-blox on NVIDIA platforms
Swiss technology supplier, u-blox has strengthened its contribution to the NVIDIA® Jetson™ and NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion™ platforms as part of its strategic growth initiative around high-precision positioning within the industrial and automotive markets.
U-blox has joined the NVIDIA Jetson Partner Ecosystem, which delivers the power of modern AI for autonomous machines and other edge AI applications across all industrial markets. Industry-leading high-precision positioning products form u-blox combine multi-constellation, multi-band GNSS RTK receivers with reliable GNSS corrections to deliver centimeter-level accuracy localizations in real time for the end device. Designed to be accessible and effortless to use, engineers in the ecosystem can quickly develop and deploy AI-powered autonomous mobile robots, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), precision agriculture equipment, and other autonomous machines that can perceive the world.
For autonomous driving, u-blox is listed as a reference device for IMU/GNSS sensors and accessories ecosystem of the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin™ Developer Kit. The reference accessory board includes the u-blox ZED-F9K high-precision dead reckoning GNSS module with integrated IMU sensors and native support of the u-blox PointPerfect GNSS correction service. The listing connects u-blox to the development community of autonomous driving applications.
“Our work with NVIDIA will help make it simpler for engineers to develop autonomous vehicles and mobile robots based on u-blox high-precision positioning solutions,” says u-blox CEO Stephan Zizala. “We will continue to drive innovation to deliver advanced navigation products that are precise, reliable, easy to use, and highly valued by our customers.”
