Strengthening its efforts to offer positioning in industrial and automotive markets, u-blox this week announced that it has joined the NVIDIA Jetson Partner Ecosystem, which offers AI for autonomous machines and other industrial applications. As part of the ecosystem, the company says it will continue its contribution to the NVIDIA Jetson and NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platforms.
For the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin Developer Kit, u-blox will offer its ZED-F9K dead reckoning GNSS modue with integrated IMU sensors and support for the company’s PointPerfect GNSS correction service. Being integrated into the kit allows u-blox to connect with a development community of autonomous driving applications, the company said.
“Our work with NVIDIA NVDA -10.66%↓ 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, in a statement.
The DRIVE AGX Orin Developer Kit offers autonomous vehicle developers hardware, software and sample applications. NVIDIA, which has offered autonomous vehicle developer kits for about six years, partnered in March with OxTS for GNSS-aided inertial navigation systems for the autonomous vehicle development platform.
