Nvidia has used Computex 2018 to launch its Isaac platform. Nvidia Isaac is described as a new platform "to power the next generation of autonomous machines, bringing artificial intelligence capabilities to robots for manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, construction and many other industries". Isaac includes new hardware, software and a virtual-world robot simulator. At its heart is the Jetson Xavier with 9 billion transistors and capable of 30 TOPS (trillion operations per second).
Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang introduced Isaac as "the brain of a new generation of autonomous machines". He went on to predict that Isaac is the first among billions of intelligent machines in manufacturing, home delivery, warehouse logistics and many other fields.
If the Jetson Xavier name sounds familiar, it is because it is the same the processor from the Xavier Drive self-driving SoC. This SoC is over twenty times faster than the existing Jetson TX2 platform.
