![]() ![]() My dev board just showed up, thanks so much to Jesse. If you’ve read this far and you’re still not convinced that you should learn CUDA, VisionWorks and OpenCV programming over the summer instead of playing Call of Duty XVII for countless hours, do yourself a favor and spend just sixteen minutes of time watching this video starting at 1:20:00: NVIDIA ![]() Over the Summer I hope teams will take advantage of this cool offer and start developing software to solve the typical problems you face every year on the field that (formally) required a human-in-the-loop to solve (e.g., game piece tracking, hazard avoidance, path planning and navigation, etc.) If you do this, and are prepared for the game reveal next January, imagine the amazingly cool things you’ll be able to do. Want to autonomously navigate the field using just a camera and a gyro, you now have enough compute power to do it on your 'bot at video rates. I’ve been working with the Tegra TK1 on a project at Google for the last eleven months and what we’re able to do with this device at Google is jaw-dropping. Product Manager, Mobile Embedded | NVIDIAįor years we’ve all wanted enough compute power to do some very serious computer vision on our 'bots, and now we have it. If you are interested please fill out the form here: Įdit: The discount will be available until July 12, 2014. NVIDIA is offering the Jetson TK1 for $130 (normally $192) to FRC teams. We thought it would be fun for FRC teams to show off how they would use Jetson TK1 to solve this previous year’s challenges, and share their work with the rest of the community. Other relevant information, including list of compatible cameras, is here: ![]() It’s a small, low-power, fully functional computer. One of the reasons NVIDIA was at Championships was to show off the new Jetson TK1 developer platform. Having been in the tech industry for almost 18 years, I can tell you that FIRST embodies the best aspects of science and technology. I was amazed by the technical excellence, the competition, the cooperation, the professionalism. While NVIDIA has been involved in various ways in the past, this was my first experience with FIRST. As some of you may know, NVIDIA visited the FIRST Championships in St. ![]()
