Advantech reduces AMR development time by 70 percent through collaboration with ADATA
03 February 2025
Advantech has collaborated with data storage specialist ADATA to develop an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) system, shortening AMR development and deployment time by 70 percent, as demonstrated by the smart disinfection AMR system deployed at the National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch.
Leveraging the NVIDIA Nova Orin reference platform, the AMR system integrates Advantech and ADATA’s solutions, allowing developers to manage the upper-level AI system and lower-level wheelbase system seamlessly, reducing the need for separate management.
Through this partnership, Advantech and ADATA aim to accelerate AMR market growth with a fast-to-deploy AMR solution.
ADATA Technology's innovative R&D for creating the optimal AMR vehicle system
ADATA Technology has collaborated with the National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch to develop a disinfection AMR using ROS2. This robot, equipped with AI technology, can automatically recognise objects and surroundings to choose the most effective disinfection method.
In addition to reducing the hospital’s cleaning workload – sparing an average of 4-6 cleaning staff per night – it significantly improves the efficiency and quality of environmental disinfection. This disinfection AMR system showcases ADATA’s expertise in AMR vehicle development and advanced software capabilities. By integrating automated control, cameras, sensors, and vehicle design with AI software, it achieves simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM), enabling the AMR to navigate smoothly across varied environments.
Integrating Advantech's MIC-732-AO edge AI system for AMRs cuts deployment time by 70 percent
ADATA Technology’s AMR system features two primary components: an upper-level system that utilises Advantech’s MIC-710AIX for real-time AI object recognition, and disinfection algorithms, which send commands to the lower-level ROS-based system to execute tasks, ensuring optimised and standard-compliant disinfection.
To further accelerate deployment, ADATA’s next-generation AMR vehicle system integrates Advantech’s MIC-732-AO, powered by the highly integrative NVIDIA Nova Orin, enabling rapid integration of cameras and sensors. ADATA and Advantech have also successfully integrated NVIDIA Isaac Perceptor, providing comprehensive perception, localisation, and navigation functions and significantly reducing AMR deployment time.
Ongoing Advantech and ADATA collaboration
Advantech and ADATA continue their collaboration to develop the ideal AMR system, with their next step involving the integration of NVIDIA Omniverse, a platform of application programming interfaces (APIs), software development kits to create digital twins of AMR mapping and positioning, optimising the development process within a virtual environment.
