Deepu Talla, vice president of robotics and edge AI at Nvidia, joined Caterpillar CEO Joe Creed onstage at CES this morning to talk about this assistive AI pilot called Cat AI, which reporter Becca Szkutak wrote about.
“At Nvidia we built three computers and open software stacks for developers to build physical AI, and now Caterpillar is bringing all of this to life,” Talla said onstage Wednesday at CES. “For the past century, you built the world’s most advanced, recognized machines operated by humans. Now you’re building robotic companions.”
Caterpillar was actually among the first to experiment with autonomous vehicle technology more than a decade ago, so its interest in trying out new tech like an AI assistant tracks. Still, it’s hard to know if this assistive AI pilot will actually translate into adoption. And if it will move the needle on attracting and retaining customers.
