Orbbec unveils ‘stereo vision 3D camera’ for mobile robots and robotic arms

by

Orbbec, a developer of 3D vision systems, has launched the Gemini 335Lg Stereo Vision 3D Camera at ROSCon 2024.

As the latest addition to the Gemini 330 series, the Gemini 335Lg utilizes advanced Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link 2 (GMSL2) and a Fakra connector, ensuring secure and reliable connectivity for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in fulfillment centers, warehouses, and factories, as well as for robotic arms in complex tasks such as bin-picking and palletizing/de-palletizing.

The Gemini 330 series offers versatile 3D solutions, focusing on AMRs and robotic arms. These cameras operate in both passive and active laser-illuminated modes, ensuring high-quality depth and RGB output in challenging indoor and outdoor lighting conditions.

Ensenso 3D stereo camera system imitates human vision to make robotic inspection cells faster and more accurate

by

The new Ensenso 3D stereo industrial camera system “imitates human vision” to make robotic inspection cells “faster and more accurate”, according to Imaging Development Systems (IDS).

Each Ensenso camera system contains two 2D IDS cameras to view the scene from different positions, similar to the way human eyes work, with artificial intelligence processing the data, rather like the human brain does.

“Special matching algorithms compare the two images, search for corresponding points and visualize all point displacements in a disparity map,” explains IDS. “This is then used to calculate depth information for the resulting point cloud.” [Read more…] about Ensenso 3D stereo camera system imitates human vision to make robotic inspection cells faster and more accurate

Bright Box launches self-driving car platform trained with extreme driving in computer games

by

Bright Box, a specialist provider of connected car solutions, says its new self-driving car system has been trained using a neural network, deep learning and extreme racing computer games, in particular GTA 5. 

Bright Box, a European company, says its software is the basis for connected-vehicle applications used by the Nissan Smart Car app in Middle East, and KIA Remoto app.

Bright Box says its autonomous car solution also uses data from real-life examples.  [Read more…] about Bright Box launches self-driving car platform trained with extreme driving in computer games
