Solomon bets on AI vision to power next generation of robotsTaipei, Aug. 8 (CNA) Taiwan's Solomon Technology Corp. is expanding its artificial intelligence-powered systems for humanoid robots, with chairman Johnny Chen (陳政隆) saying the company aims to address one of the biggest hurdles to wider adoption -- machine perception. Rather than manufacturing humanoid robots, Solomon develops AI-powered 3D vision modules and machine vision software that enable robots to perceive, understand and interact with their surroundings. Drones equipped with the company's 3D machine vision and AI software can automatically detect obstructions on solar panels that reduce power generation, he said. The same AI vision technology has also been deployed in AMRs, robotic arms, pan-tilt-zoom cameras and quadruped robots used in industrial inspection projects in markets including the United States and Japan, he said. To address the problem, Solomon has developed generative AI vision technology that uses synthetic images to train AI models, reducing training time while improving robots' ability to recognize unfamiliar objects and adapt to different real-world scenarios.
