Eyes at the Edge
Stay at the leading edge of robot perception.
Technical writing for robotics engineers and buyers — LiDAR selection, safety sensing, dToF vs. stereo, and the perception problems your floor actually faces.
Designing a Layered Safety Architecture for Automated Work Cells
Walk into any modern automated facility and you'll see the same challenge playing out in a hundred different configurations: people and machines sharing space. Robots load pallets, AMRs cross aisles, conveyors feed presses, while technician
Read article →Rotating vs. Solid-State LiDAR: Sizing by Duty Cycle
A rotating unit and a solid-state unit can match on every datasheet line and still diverge sharply in service. The discriminators are operational — duty cycle, shock-event count, emitter wavelength, and what the application actually needs to see.
Read article →Designing a 90-Day LiDAR Acceptance Test
A demonstration proves a sensor can work. An acceptance test proves it will. Here is how to pre-register the criterion and run a defensible 90-day LiDAR test.
Read article →Engineering Considerations for 3D Vision-Guided Depalletizing Systems
Vision sensor, edge computer, controller communication, protocol customization, and fieldbus gateway options — how a 3D vision-guided depalletizing system integrates with the controls architecture you already run.
