International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2014 Trends

Trends in robotics and automation research that we noticed at our booth at the 2014 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in Hong Kong this year — particularly those interested in omnivision and our omnicamera Omni 60, high frame rate panoramic video:

• Autonomous vehicles for car and automobile company research groups
• Mobile robotic arms with 6 degrees of freedom using omnivision as end effectors
• Hand robots
• Mining and industrial applications
• Pipeline inspection applications (for oil and natural gas industry)
• Mobile robotics security and monitoring applications
• Automating assembly line quality assurance (QA)
• Agriculture applications (in fields and harvests)
• Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications
• Quadcopter research applications
• Humanoid robotics research applications
• Sound localization for humanoid robotics
• Haptic device feedback systems
• Computer vision and feature based 3D map building for robotics path planning
• Robotics and automation in surgical devices for control and medical imaging guidance

Let us know in the comments if you stopped by, and we missed you! We’d love to put up more information about the research folks who were interested in using omnivision for their robotics research application.
