Open commercial licensing, benchmark‑leading reasoning and inspectable decisions bring autonomous vehicles, including robotaxis, closer to production and widescale deployment. This news blog was originally published at NVIDIA’ website. It is reprinted here with the permission of NVIDIA. For robotaxis and other autonomous vehicles (AVs), the hardest problems aren’t the everyday scenarios. They’re the rare, complex situations that

Rajy Rawther, PMTS Software Architect at AMD presents “Vision-Language Models in Practice: Architecture and Performance” at the May 2026 Embedded Vision Summit. Unimodal vision systems are powerful but limited when users need flexible queries, richer semantics or reasoning that combines images/video with language. Vision-language models (VLMs) address this gap by… “Vision-Language Models in Practice: Architecture
This blog post was originally published at e-con Systems’ website. It is reprinted here with the permission of e-con Systems. Designing an ROS 2-based autonomous docking system is only half the story. Deploying it in the real world is another matter entirely. Since real industrial environments don’t cooperate with textbook assumptions, understanding these challenges will help
Dwith Chenna, MTS Product Engineer, AI Inference at AMD presents “Small Language Models for Edge AI: Trade-Offs and Quantization in Practice” at the May 2026 Embedded Vision Summit. Large language models are powerful but often impractical for embedded and on-prem systems due to latency, cost, privacy and memory constraints. Small… “Small Language Models for Edge
David Scott, CEO & Founder at Synetic, makes the case for synthetic training data as the most practical solution to edge case coverage in computer vision at the 2025 Embedded Vision Summit. Real-world data collection is slow, expensive, and structurally unable to capture the rare but critical scenarios — adverse lighting, unusual occlusions, extreme environments
