Apera AI Enhances Forge with Advanced Robotic Cell Design and Training

Apera AI has announced a significant update to its Apera Forge platform, introducing new features for advanced robotic cell design and de-racking training, announced in a press release. The update aims to streamline vision-guided robotic (VGR) projects by enhancing simulation and training capabilities for industrial automation.

The latest release of Apera Forge includes advanced cell design capabilities, allowing users to fine-tune camera placement, bin positioning, and obstacle configurations to better match real-world environments. This flexibility is intended to improve simulation results and facilitate more accurate cell visualization.

Additionally, the platform now supports EOAT-mounted (Eye-in-Hand) vision setups, simplifying the design process by enabling users to preview and refine camera positioning directly within Forge. This feature is particularly beneficial for systems where cameras are mounted on end-of-arm tooling (EOAT).

Apera Forge also introduces full simulation and AI training for de-racking applications, a common task in the automotive sector. Users can specify de-racking parameters such as initial positions, rack axes, and part spacing, allowing for precise part recognition and picking. The platform's AI models achieve over 99.9% reliability in object recognition and task performance, with complete vision programs ready for deployment within 24 to 48 hours.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
