Move your real-time control closer to the action with TI’s decentralized, multi-axis servo drive architecture
Speakers: Jason Reeder and Chris Clearman
Topic: Servo drives
Abstract: Today’s automated factories rely heavily on robotics, CNC machines, and linear motion transport systems to produce the world’s goods. These automated machines rely on synchronized, multi-axis control which can be done either using a centralized or decentralized architecture. In this webinar we will discuss the benefits of the decentralized architecture, some of which are removing external control cabinet from the factory floor, reducing cabling cost as the distance from motion control to each joint is minimized, and improved control loop performance.Texas instruments pushes the boundary on both ends of this architecture with the Sitara™ AM64x on the cold side and C2000™ real-time microcontrollers on the hot side communicating to each other via Fast Serial Interface. AM64x enables more intelligent synchronized control by combining multi-axis motion control, multi-axis speed & position control, real-time multiprotocol industrial communications, and web services all on the same device. C2000 delivers higher precision torque control by combining the sensing, processing, and actuation on a single device.In this webinar we will introduce how Sitara AM64x and C2000 together form a decentralized control architecture that enable more intelligent and precise robots for today’s factories.

Extend your wireless connectivity with mesh technologies: Wi-SUN®, Bluetooth® Mesh
Speakers: Marie Hernes and Bhargavi Nisarga
Topic: Wireless mesh networks
Abstract: Mesh networks offer a flexible solution for small and large networks. As more and more standards for wireless mesh networking appear, the mesh network topology becomes a tempting tool for developers looking to extend their network range or size. This webinar will provide an overview of the wireless mesh protocols available today and why engineers should consider using a mesh topology network for their end product. Additionally, we will dive into two mesh protocols, Wi-SUN and Bluetooth Mesh, discussing key features, uses cases and design considerations for each protocol.

Build safer, efficient and intelligent autonomous robots with TI sensing and processing technologies
Speakers: Manisha Agrawal and Jitin George
Topic: Robotics
Abstract: As robots in factories, warehouse and last-mile delivery or service industry are working in closer proximity to humans than ever before, the need for them to be autonomous mobile as well as safer, intelligent and energy-efficient is critically important. These autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) must perceive in indoor or outdoor environments, without fail and irrespective of prevailing environmental conditions. To that end, AMRs need to be equipped with redundant sensing and high accuracy perception capabilities. In this webinar, we will introduce how TI mmWave radar and Jacinto™ processors together form a system solution to enable safer, autonomous mobile robots.Texas Instruments differentiated IEC61508 SIL 2 capable mmWave radar sensors and high-performance SIL-2/SIL-3 capable JacintoTM 7 TDA4x processor enables a safer, efficient and intelligent autonomous robot. The mmWave radar sensors provide true 3D information (range, velocity and angle of arrival) of objects even in the most challenging environmental conditions to quickly detect and prevent possible collisions. Our high-performance, highly-integrated Jacinto TDA4x processor, equipped with dedicated accelerators for imaging, vision and deep learning, enable energy-efficient real-time accurate environment perception and navigation through sensor fusion. In this webinar we will introduce how mmWave radar and Jacinto 7 processor together form a system solution to enable a safer autonomous mobile robots of today.
