Exploring AI on the RDK X3 Sunrise
We need robots to be able to react to change, to perceive their environment rather than just sense it, and to be able to make their own decisions when they can't follow the normal program. Giving robots these capabilities is known as Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Recent years have seen steady improvement in vision models, such as YOLO, which can help a robot understand the objects in its environment. One of the biggest leaps in AI from the past few years is the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini. These models can give very realistic responses to text inputs, including answering questions and offering suggestions of actions. By combining vision models and LLMs, we can build more intelligent robots than ever before.
In this post, I'll show the performance of three different AI models running on a single board computer - the RDK X3 Sunrise.
