ZVISION Announces NVIDIA Isaac Sim Robotics Platform Support to Empower Powerful Tools for Industrial Sensing

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Jan. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ZVISION, a leading provider of solid-state MEMS LiDAR solutions, announced at CES2023 that it will work with the NVIDIA Isaac Sim advanced simulator to create powerful tools enabling the validation of industrial sensing solutions, satisfying the demands of high-performance LiDAR simulation for more application scenarios and fully adaptive testing.  

NVIDIA Isaac Sim, a tool for robotics simulation applications and synthetic data generation, is used by robotics experts to train and test robots more efficiently, recreate realistic robot interactions within specified settings, and validate the performance in different scenarios that go beyond the real world. With Isaac Sim, companies have dramatically reduced the costs of development, testing, and data acquisition, and accelerated time-to-market for commercial deployments.

NVIDIA Isaac Sim features many scenarios and application environments, using its accurate physics-based rendering to reproduce multiple shapes and sizes of obstacles to form a complete functional scene. The platform also allows users to validate the performance state and technical capabilities of LiDAR against the complexity and uncertainty of a given scene. With the digital twin, in combination with a variety of surroundings and different use scenarios available in Isaac Sim, developers in the robotics field can determine which performance modes are most suitable for the selected application based on solutions for complex edge cases.

As NVIDIA’s robotics simulation platform, Isaac Sim offers the benefit to develop, test and evaluate robotic systems and algorithms in a simulation environment. Developers and researchers can also use Isaac Sim’s many tools, including simulation of robot dynamics to test control algorithms, simulation of robot sensors to generate realistic cameras, depth and segmentation images, LiDAR perception, IMU, simulation of testing algorithms in different environments and condition scenarios, and providing training sets of random objects and attributes.

The MEMS LiDAR portfolio created by ZVISION includes the ML-30s+ short-range LiDAR and the ML-Xs forward long-range MEMS LiDAR. The ML-30s+ short-range LiDAR is the best for perception with detection range of 25m@R=10% and an ultra-wide field of view (FoV) of 140°X70°. Robots can view surrounding objects more clearly, and the higher quality image like point cloud captured with an angular resolution of 0.44°x0.44°. The FoV of 140°, which is larger than the typical 120°, not only covers more wider area, but it can also detect objects in the corresponding edge area faster and sooner without adjusting the heading angle. In order to detect and identify objects more accurately in blind areas, the vertical FoV of 70° is set at 20° above and 50° below the horizontal. The ML-Xs, a MEMS long-range LiDAR with outstanding exceptional capability, also equips a 1550nm laser with effective range of 250 meters and an FoV of 120°x25°. The ultra-long range-sensing capability can accurately cover further locations and identify obstructions in the forward path. As a result, the features and performance of the ML series LiDAR model as defined by Isaac Sim simulation software will further advance the development of industrial sensing solutions.

As a member of NVIDIA’s Jetson partner ecosystem,  ZVISION will continue to strengthen its collaboration and support for NVIDIA Isaac Sim to develop comprehensive robot sensing capabilities and deliver high-performance LiDAR solutions.

Omdia: Semiconductor market declines into uncharted (seasonal) territory

Leave a comment

LONDON, Nov. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The semiconductor market has had an exceptional run of sequential revenue growth during the COVID-pandemic period that began in early 2020 according to Omdia’s Semiconductor Competitive Landscape Tool (CLT). A record eight-straight quarters of revenue growth occurred during this time. Now the market has begun to shrink for the last two quarters. 3Q22 semiconductor revenue was $147B, down 7% from the previous quarter of $158B.

Revenue quarterly percentage change Q2 to Q3
Revenue quarterly percentage change Q2 to Q3

“The decline in the market has not been uniform,” said Senior Research Analyst, Cliff Leimbach. “Different parts of the market are driving the weakness at different times. 2Q22’s decline was driven by a weakened PC market, with Intel declining 17%. The most recent decline is due to weakness in the memory market. Memory revenue is down 27% quarter on quarter (QoQ) as data center, PC, and mobile demand declined in combination with inventory adjustments from customers.”  

Following a record run, the semiconductor market has cooled down and consumer confidence has waned resulting in a historic drop for a third quarter. Semiconductor sales increased in anticipation of consumer demand increasing in the second half of the year. From 2002 through 2021, the long-term average quarterly growth was 8%.

The three memory-focused companies (Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology) all dropped one position. While the major memory suppliers accounted for a drop of over $10bn in semiconductor revenue for 3Q22, they weren’t the only companies to struggle. AMD revenues declined as they experienced a slow-down in demand for PCs and inventory reductions, the same market conditions that Intel felt the previous quarter.

During the pandemic, ViewSonic offered myViewBoard for free to K-12, colleges, and universities, supporting online teaching and learning during school closures. To date, myViewBoard has exceeded 6 million users around the world.

However, the current mode of online learning is still limited by the lack of interaction, making it difficult for educators to evaluate student engagement during classes. To resolve these issues, ViewSonic elevated the digital learning experience from a 2D education environment to an immersive 3D environment. Through the introduction of UNIVERSE by ViewSonic, a metaverse for education, educators and students can teach and learn as if they were in a real classroom. Combined with intuitive controls and diverse tools, teachers can engage students in discussions and group collaboration, gaining feedback in real-time. Students are able to express themselves and interact with peers through personalized avatars. UNIVERSE brings a sense of belonging to both teachers and students no other online learning platforms can provide.

More than ever, people are adopting new technologies to re-adjust to their new lives, while businesses are seeking advanced and efficient solutions to sustain themselves.

By introducing a series of portable monitors, projectors, and pen displays, people can work, play, and learn anytime, anywhere. With advanced functions, such as videoconferencing, people can enjoy high-quality communication and collaborate remotely. For sustainability, ViewSonic has been using LED technology to develop more sustainable solutions. It expands its LED projector solutions from consumers to corporations, which addresses the critical need for equipment to be energy-saving and maintenance-free. The latest digital signature solution makes workflow more efficient and fulfills security requirements for multi-identification verification across telecom, banking, hospital, and hotel industries.
