Pedestrian Detection powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin Premieres in On-Stand Demo
10th February, 2025. Las Vegas, USA. Today, at Manifest (Booth 1341) Slamcore will premiere the first live demonstration of its next-generation Slamcore Aware product incorporating pedestrian detection. This updated module, featuring sleeker footprint and lower weight as well as the enhanced pedestrian detection capabilities, can be retrofitted to any manually driven vehicle used in warehouse or factory environments. Visit Booth 1341 for a live demonstration of pedestrian detection in action.
Slamcore Aware is a self-contained module that brings the power of visual and spatial AI to manually driven vehicles for intralogistics and warehouse scenarios. It was originally designed to track the location of forklifts and other manual vehicles in real time. The new ability to autonomously detect pedestrians amidst busy and fast moving mixed-traffic situations now adds considerable safety and efficiency benefits.
Leveraging the power of the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX module and the sixth generation of NVIDIA JetPack SDK for AI-at-the-edge development, Slamcore Aware processes visual data from standard cameras, on-board, in real time, labelling the objects ‘seen’ by the vehicle. It automatically distinguishes pedestrians from other vehicles and stationery objects such as pallets and calculates their position relative to the vehicle and within the wider facility.
Warehouse and intralogistics fleet management systems can use this data to improve efficiency, create custom driver alerts or to enact and enforce safety protocols. For example, drivers can be alerted when a pedestrian is in their path, flagging the person’s location to all other vehicles and robots in the area. This effectively allows the fleet to see round corners and through shelves increasing safety for all in the facility.
The new Slamcore Aware module utilizes AI designed for robots and autonomous vehicles to bring spatial awareness to manually driven vehicles, still the most commonly used for moving goods in today’s warehouses and factories. In addition to adding spatial awareness to individual vehicles, Slamcore Aware provides accurate, real-time location data so that operations and safety can be optimized across all vehicles, allowing entire fleets to be managed more effectively.
“Slamcore Aware adds a robot brain to the reliable manually driven workhorses of the intralogistics world,” said Owen Nicholson, CEO of Slamcore. “Manually driven vehicles remain the most widely used in warehouses and factories around the world; adding a Slamcore Aware module leverages the power of spatial AI to deliver massive boosts to efficiency and safety of operations.”
The Slamcore Aware module is available now directly from Slamcore or from its
partners.
