Optical lace developed to heighten robots’ sensors
Cornell University researchers are using optical lace to create a linked sensory network similar to a biological nervous system for robots to improve their actions.
Hybrid controlled atmosphere system delivered to technical university
Navajo Technical University (NTU) received a hybrid controlled atmosphere system from Optomec for education, research and workforce development in advanced metal additive manufacturing.
Using Wi-Fi sonar to measure indoor movement speed and distance
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a technique for measuring speed and distance in indoor environments called Wi-Fi-assisted inertial odometry (WIO), which could be used to improve navigation technologies for robots and drones.
Camera expands vision capabilities with lasers
Stanford University researchers have developed a high-powered laser that captures reflected particles of light and reconstructs them with a camera’s advanced sensors and processing algorithm.
Helping autonomous cars see with embedded vision
Sensor companies are creating a detection system that can sense a vehicle’s environment better than human eyesight through a combination of camera, radar, and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors.
Machine vision starts thinking for itself
Machine vision developments such as image registration, computer-vision, deep learning and other artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are beginning to enable radical market change.
Machine vision advances improve surveillance, public safety
Machine vision technology is widely used for surveillance, and researchers are working to make it more and more intelligent, but occlusion is still a well-known issue in people-detection.
Eye-tracking technology as the future of human-computer interaction
Eye-tracking technology is being used for research and industrial applications and will improve right along with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) systems and become the basis for human-computer interaction
Combining vision technology and collaborative robots for safer work environments
Safety is paramount with collaborative robots and they can be made safer with machine vision and artificial intelligence technology.
3-D machine vision for safer collaborative robot automation
3-D machine vision lets a robot sense, process information and mimic the way two humans adjust to working around each other.
