This document discusses the use of Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2) and Data Distribution Service (DDS) for smart manufacturing. ROS 2 is an open-source robotics middleware that has gained popularity for use in mobile robots, industrial robots, and autonomous vehicles. It allows for distributed, decentralized control through the use of DDS as its underlying middleware for data distribution. The document outlines the history and releases of ROS 2, its advantages over a centralized ROS 1 architecture, and examples of its use in industrial applications such as multiple autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) and 5G factory networks.
This document contains batch script commands to set environment variables for running an interactive face detection sample using models from the Intel computer vision SDK. It sets directories for the SDK deployment tools and models, checks for required files and paths, then runs the sample twice with different device and model options to perform face detection, age and gender recognition, and head pose estimation on image input.
Might Group is a technology company founded in 1986 that develops and manufactures wireless modules. It has expanded operations through establishing factories in China and Taiwan and an innovation hub in Taiwan. Might Group has many domestic and international customers for its wireless products, including startups it has supported through accelerators. One such startup customer was Ubiquiti Networks, whose founder went on to become one of the youngest billionaires after its successful IPO. The document also discusses lessons learned from the failed Kickstarter campaign of a startup customer named Zano, including risks of overestimating capabilities and underestimating costs when developing hardware products.
