06/01/12 — The Industrial 3D-Eye offered by Eye Vision Technology has been designed for industrial environments. Similar to the “Kinect” sensor, is equipped with more powerful illumination and is put into a robust aluminum metal case. The housing is completely waterproof and the sensor is therefore applicable in all industrial environments. The Industrial 3D-Eye opens up new possibilities in the range of robotics: amongst others in the range of palletization and depalletization but also in sorting components on assembly lines. The expanded EyeVision system opens up new application ranges of robot control by the combination of a depth sensor and a normal…

04/21/10 — The TACO project, co-financed by the European Commission under EU Framework Programme, is developing a 3D sensor that will enable robots to observe their environment in a more natural and human-like manner. The TACO project, which started in February 2010, will make it possible to apply current robots in more sophisticated markets so that they will play a major role in the fields of cleaning, construction, maintenance, security, health care, entertainment and personal assistance in the future. TACO employs 3D foveation to significantly improve on current 3D sensor systems. Foveation enables the TACO systems to acquire 3D images with coarse…
