A project at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has demonstrated an artificial compound eye that the team believes could revolutionize robot vision. Described in Science ...

This article is part of an AspenCore Special Project on vision-guided robots. With the cost and size of cameras dropping and the power of image-processing software increasing, robotic systems are ...

For more than two decades, machine vision practitioners have been predicting the commercial emergence of robotic random bin-picking—the ability of vision-guided robot arms to locate and pick ...

One of humankind's most important senses for navigating our world is our ability to see in three dimensions (3D), so it makes sense to give our robots the same capability. But how we see may or may ...

One of the first real-world applications of IoT (Internet of Things) technologies that provided tangible benefits to manufacturers of all sizes involved optimizing equipment maintenance via the ...

ONROBOT has introduced an affordable, end-of-arm vision device for robotic arms, to allow units to pick up items not presented with consistent orientation, shape, or sizes. The Eyes establishes 2.5D ...

Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, factories have experienced massive changes in the production process. From the utilization of electrical energy and the use of electronics and ...

A team from Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute (RI) has developed an autonomous robot to control the spread of spotted lanternflies, invasive insects known to destroy economically ...

Iman Soltani is developing active vision technology that would allow robots to change their line of sight and viewpoint to complete tasks instead of relying on multiple cameras. Here, Soltani (left) ...
