“You really need to develop a whole product solution—hardware, software, UI, interfaces, and process redesign—with a consideration for what problem you are really trying to solve.” —Aldo Zini
Getting large teams of robots to collaborate is the work of Dr Regis Vincent, who envisions applications that include mapping nuclear contamination.
What obstacles remain for robots to work alongside humans in industrial settings, and how far have we come in eliminating those challenges? Dr. Roland Menassa answers these and other questions in his presentation at the RoboBusiness summit November 2-3 in Boston.
John Reid, director of Product Technology and Innovation at Moline Technology Innovation Center, a part of John Deere’s Global Technology Innovation Network, discusses how his company’s technologies will help feed the world’s billions.

The Skilligent Computer Vision system keeps digital object representations in an indexed structure optimized for fast searches. The software scans the video stream coming from a camera and searches for occurrences of the objects.
The computer vision software is based on algorithms resistant to
The Skilligent Computer Vision software can be used as a foundation for a vision-augmented navigation system. The software can reliably detect, identify and track visual landmark objects providing reference points for position estimation.
The capability of the system is to “lock” on a target object/area and can be used for building image stabilization systems. While a platform (such as a UGV, UAV or USV) carrying the camera is moving, the stabilized image doesn’t move creating an illusion that the point of view is not changing.
“Skilligent Computer Vision is designed for real-life robotics applications. It works both indoor and outdoor, and is stable to changes in illumination. The software has several applications in the UAV, UGV, USV and service robotics markets. We are looking for partners to incorporate the technology into real-life systems”, said Sherrie Shearer, Skilligent’s COO.
