What is AI?

In today's technologically rapidly changing society, 5G and AI are very popular concepts. With the commercialization of 5G, the popularity of 5G technology in society has gradually increased. So what is AI? What changes will AI apps make to people?

AI is a new technical science to research and develop the theory, method, technology and application system for simulating, extending and extending human intelligence. AI research has made amazing progress, and after learning, machines are faster and more accurate than humans in operating certain processes. Back in 2016, AlphaGo became the first artificial intelligence robot to beat the Go world champion through deep learning, making AI a global hit.

Clearly, machine learning can bring us some eye-opening new features that are essential for applications such as smart homes, smart retail, smart factories, and smart cities, and are widely used in many industries today. For example, ANGV cars.

The AGV, also known as the Unmanned Vehicles, is characterized by driverless vehicles. AGV is equipped with an automatic guidance system, can ensure that the system in the absence of manual piloting can automatically travel along the predetermined route, goods, or materials automatically from the starting point to the destination, according to its navigation mode, but also can be divided into electromagnetic navigation AGV trolley, laser navigation AGV car, magnetic strip navigation AGV car, QR code navigation AGV car, visual navigation AGV car. In various forms of AI technology can be applied to the visual navigation category of products, through the camera dynamically obtain the vehicle surrounding image information and compare with the image database, and after one comparison in-depth study, to complete the current state of determination and the next driving decision.

Forlinx Embedded latest FETMX8MP-C core board combines 5G and AI to deliver higher performance and greater expansion for AGV trolleys.
