Unicore has announced a collaboration with NVIDIA

Unicore is a high-tech company focusing on high-precision GNSS integrated circuit design, high-performance satellite positioning and multi-sensor fusion algorithm development. The fusion of its GNSS positioning modules with NVIDIA Jetson platform provides powerful technical support for autonomous robots and related industry applications. the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin platform, with its computational power of up to 275 TOPS, provides a powerful impetus for the development of new-generation machines.

GNSS positioning modules, such as the UM982 from SMiT, have been adapted to the NVIDIA Jetson platform and are able to realise multi-source fusion, process data collected from multiple sources, and provide accurate positioning coordinate information.The UM982 module is a high-precision positioning and heading module independently developed by SMiT, which is based on NebulasIV, an RF baseband integration chip independently developed by SMiT, and supports It is based on NebulasIV, an RF baseband integrated chip developed by Nexchip, and supports all constellations and all frequencies, with excellent positioning and heading performance in complex scenarios.

The design of the UM982 module takes into account the needs in the field of autonomous driving machines, especially low and medium-speed autonomous driving, and these applications require very high positioning accuracy and reliability. the UM982's low power consumption and compact size fully satisfy these requirements, providing high-precision centimetre-grade RTK positioning solutions and outputting high-precision heading solutions, which provide more information for the multi-sensor fusion algorithms.

The UM982 module also has excellent anti-jamming and interference detection capabilities, and is able to effectively and accurately detect environmental interference and output interference strength to provide decision support for the main control algorithm of the self-driving car.

The NVIDIA Jetson platform provides a wealth of software resources and development tools, including the NVIDIA JetPack SDK and a variety of AI-related software platforms, such as Isaac, Riva and Metropolis, which accelerate the development of industry-specific proprietary applications. Lianxin also provides corresponding SDK development environments for different versions of ROS (Robot Operating System), effectively shortening the R&D cycle and lowering the R&D threshold.

With the advent of the intelligent era, autonomous robot systems will play an increasingly important role in various industries. Linkchip Communications will leverage its technological advantages in the field of GNSS to build a more open and easy-to-use robot ecosystem with NVIDIA, and to promote the development of the full ecological industry chain of autonomous machines. The high-precision GNSS data provided by Lianxin and the computing platform provided by NVIDIA together empower the R&D and innovation of autonomous machines.
