From Vision-Guided Robotics to Smart Cameras, Turnkey Systems Offer Versatility
Integrators and operations managers must consider numerous choices when implementing turnkey vision systems in industrial environments. Depending on the application, systems are generally developed in four broad categories: single or multiple smart cameras; cameras interfaced to PC-based systems; robot guidance systems; and custom libraries-based solutions.

3D Sensing Bolsters Robotic Guidance
With prices falling and performance rising, 3D vision, or depth sensing, is showing up in new applications, including allowing robots to map places and tasks, such as figuring out how best to avoid people. Other uses include pick-and-place, combined assembly and inspection, and moving shelves of items from one location to another.

Ultrafast Camera Takes Trillions of Images per Second in a Single Exposure
Single-shot 10-trillion-frame-per-second compressed ultrafast photography (CUP) is now possible with a new camera, called T-CUP, which passively captures dynamic events with 100-femtosecond (fs) frame intervals in a single camera exposure. According to the researchers, T-CUP has set a new record for real-time imaging speed.
