Events

• 2026-10-06 - Capability - Toyota CUE7 adopts edge-AI compute supplied by Ryosan Ryoyo

  The configuration uses NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Industrial, Connect Tech AGX202 and Connect Tech JCB002. Toyota selected the hardware for its compact, lightweight form and high-precision real-time recognition of the ball and surroundings. The research explores autonomous decisions and control for dribbling in response to irregular ball movement and changes in the environment.

• 2026-03-03 - Product Launch - Connect Tech launches Falcon rugged vehicle computer

  The fanless system uses NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and is designed for continuous operation under dust, vibration, moisture and extreme temperatures. Falcon supports up to four GMSL2 cameras, vehicle Ethernet, CAN, NVMe storage and a 9-to-36-volt input range. Pre-flashed and validated software plus common vehicle interfaces are intended to move perception and autonomy applications from prototype to field deployment faster.

• 2025-05-14 - Partnership - Connect Tech adds native Orbbec Gemini support

  The Anvil and Anvil-RX systems gained native support for the Gemini 335Lg GMSL and FAKRA stereo-depth camera. The partners combined camera hardware and sensor software to reduce application-development and hardware bring-up time. A four-camera demonstration on Connect Tech Anvil showed obstacle detection and navigation for a large autonomous mobile robot at Automate 2025.

• 2025-05-14 - Partnership - Orbbec and Connect Tech integrate GMSL depth camera with Jetson system

  Connect Tech’s Anvil embedded system adds native support for Orbbec’s Gemini 335Lg GMSL/FAKRA depth camera, linking rugged long-cable vision with Jetson edge compute. The joint hardware and camera-software configuration is aimed at robotics, autonomous machines, industrial automation and smart-agriculture systems that need dependable stereo-vision connectivity. The companies say the integration reduces application-development time and expands camera and compute choices for system integrators, while a planned Automate demo was to show obstacle detection and navigation for a large AMR.
