Autonomous Mobile Robots for Intelligent Warehouse and Manufacturing Logistics

Over the past few decades, there have been massive changes in the world of warehouse and manufacturing logistics. With more demand for online shopping, rapid shipping, and lower pricing, the businesses who have learned to adapt and modernize their distribution operations have driven competition and increased profitability.

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) are the key to the future of intelligent warehouse and manufacturing logistics. They help to make processes and workflows more efficient and productive, while performing time-consuming and non-value added tasks such as transporting, picking, and sorting products as well as inventory management.

Introduction to Intel® oneAPI

Heterogeneous development across CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs - The Intel® oneAPI offer a core set of tools and libraries for developing high-performance, data-centric applications across diverse architectures. The programming model for heterogeneous computing is based on Data Parallel C++ (DPC++) language, an evolution of C++ for heterogeneous computing. Domain-specific cross-architecture libraries, industry-leading DPC++/C++ compiler and tools to find and optimize performance bottlenecks across CPU, GPU, and FPGA systems, complete the kit.

This webinar will offer an introduction to the Intel® oneAPI with focus on how to effectively use oneAPI tools and libraries to get the best out of your existing hardware or prepare your software for the next generation heterogeneous processors and accelerators. The webinar will also cover what products are oneAPI compatible today and how developers can start their oneAPI embedded project.

We would like to update you on some information, if you are trying to use the carrier boards, Net Plus and Vision Plus X with UP Xtreme.

The carrier boards, such as Net Plus and Vision Plus X, were designed for UP Core Plus in the first place.
By the introduction of UP Xtreme, these two carrier boards will be possible to compatible with UP Xtreme as well.
To make it compatible there are some additional side notes to be added.

• The connection between carrier boards with UP Xtreme requires not only 100-pin but also one 12C EEPROM cable.
• The functionality on the carrier boards will be different as the below table.
  

To make it easier for users, we decided to add this cable into the package of NetPlus and Vision Plus X, so that users can decide yourself whether you want the carrier board to work with UP Core Plus or UP Xtreme. Of course, you should leave it aside if you are using UP Core Plus.
If users who already purchased the Net Plus Board/Vision Plus X Board from UP Shop already, and it is going to be used with UP Xtreme, kindly drop us an email shop@up-board.org with your order number and we will ship you the cables separately, we thank you for your cooperation.

[BIOS]

• A new revision of Net Plus Board results are not compatible with the current BIOS configuration included in the UP Xtreme. In these days we are updating our BIOS and we will provide an updated version on the UP Community downloads section as soon as possible. You can then apply the update to your board and together with the provided cable you will be able to use the Net Plus Board with UP Xtreme.

• The Vision Plus X Board works perfectly fine with the current BIOS on UP Xtreme Board.

  For further questions, kindly leave your comment below, thanks.

UP Team

Removed from the roadmap:----**UP AI Core XM 2242 **
Reason: Same as UP AI Core XM 2230.
Other info: A custom variation is validated to support Windows Machine Learning. It is possible to offer to volume project upon discussion.

Add on the roadmap:----**UP AI Core XP4 & UP AI Core XP8 **
Features: We designed a PCIe[x4] card to accommodate 4 slot of AI Core XM 2280. The standard product will be based on 4x Myriad X on board, or 8x Myriad X on board. This could be a good way for you to try out how many Myriad X you really need for your project and help you to scale your vision accelerator.
