New upstart created to facilitate the
deployment of open source collaborative
engineering initiatives around Autoware and accelerate
autonomous driving adoption
Kalray (Euronext Growth Paris – ALKAL), a pioneer in processors
for new intelligent systems, today announced it has joined the
Autoware Foundation as a founding premium member. The formation of
Autoware was formally announced on December 10, 2018 with a mission
of facilitating the deployment of Autoware open-source projects
enabling self-driving mobility. The Autoware Foundation creates
synergies between corporate development and academic research,
enabling autonomous driving technology for everyone.
"We are glad to have the presence of Kalray as a premium member
of the Autoware Foundation. Having highly efficient hardware
solutions supporting autonomous driving software is instrumental to
boost the deployment of Autoware in the market!" said Shinpei Kato,
member of the Board of Directors for Autoware.
Autonomous driving demands massive processing power, low power
consumption and bulletproof safety and security to handle critical
functions like AI processing, acceleration of perception and route
planning. Kalray’s MPPA processors delivers all that.
“We are delighted to join the Autoware Foundation as a founding
member at this important time in the growth and adoption of
autonomous driving standards,” said Eric Baissus, CEO of Kalray.
“The Autoware open software stack is one of the most advanced
software options available today for autonomous and intelligent
systems. We will work with the other members of the foundation to
open, extend and industrialize this software solution and make it
run with optimum efficiency on Kalray’s MPPA intelligent processor
family.”
The Autoware Foundation is a non-profit organization created to
facilitate the deployment of open source collaborative engineering
Autoware projects, starting with Autoware.AI, Autoware.Auto, and
Autoware.IO.
- Autoware.AI is the original Autoware
project started in 2015 by Shinpei Kato at Nagoya University. The
open source self-driving solution is being used globally by more
than 100 companies in more than 30 vehicles today.
- Autoware.Auto is Autoware reimagined.
Based on ROS 2, Autoware.Auto, applying best-in-class software
engineering practices, has the objective is to facilitate the
industrialization of Autoware.
- Autoware.IO focuses on the different
electronic sub-systems of an autonomous vehicle (sensors, cameras,
computating platforms)
Shinpei Kato from Tier IV and the University of Tokyo, Jan
Becker from Apex.AI and Stanford University and Yang Zhang from
Linaro 96Boards and the Chinese Academy of Sciences AI Institute
have together formed the founding Board of Directors for the
Autoware Foundation. The Board is responsible for the operation of
the Autoware Foundation. Kalray will be part of the Technical
Steering Committee formed from representatives of the Premium
Members to drive the technical direction of the projects.
In addition to Kalray, founding Premium Members include Apex.AI,
Arm, AutoCore, AutonomouStuff, Huawei, Linaro 96Boards, LG,
Parkopedia, StreetDrone, Tier IV, TRI-AD (Toyota Research Institute
Advanced Development, Inc), and Velodyne. The Premium Members are
supported by founding Industrial and Academic & Non-Profit
Members including eSOL, Intel, Nagoya University, OSRF (Open Source
Robotics Foundation), RoboSense, Semi Japan, SiFive, and
Xilinx.
Kalray’s manycore MPPA intelligent processor has been designed
from the ground up to meet both the incredible performance
requirements of some of today’s most advanced applications and the
capability to run on the same processors the dozens of critical
functions in parallel that are required to build intelligent
systems. Target applications include autonomous vehicles,
intelligent storage in large-scale data centers, robotics, defense
applications and drones.
ABOUT KALRAY
Kalray (Euronext Growth Paris — FR0010722819 — ALKAL) is the
pioneer in processors for new intelligent systems. As a real
technological breakthrough, “intelligent” processors have the
capability to analyze on the fly, and in an intelligent manner, a
very large amount of information, and to make decisions and
interact in real time with the outside world. These intelligent
processors will be deployed extensively in fast-growing sectors,
such as new-generation networks (intelligent data centers) and
autonomous vehicles, as well as healthcare equipment, drones, and
robots. Kalray’s offering encompasses both processors and complete
solutions (electronic boards and software). Created in 2008 as a
spin-off of CEA (“Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies
alternatives”, the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy
Commission), Kalray serves customers such as server manufacturers,
intelligent system integrators, and consumer product manufacturers,
including car makers. For more information, visit
