Giving Robots the Gift of Sight

In the past few years, the robotics industry has doubled in size. And this trend is only expected to continue. In the near future, robots will become part of our everyday life. They’ll assist with elderly care, extend their reach in security, and will circulate and communicate with networked devices in our homes and work places.

PrimeSense 3D sensing technology is opening up new possibilities in robotics with its affordable sensors. They allow all robots, including autonomous ones, to see their surroundings just as humans do. This empowers them to understand their environment, which dramatically improves their capabilities, human interactions and independent navigation.

“The PrimeSense device opened up a whole new arena of vision-enabled systems. The most advanced robot companies are just now beginning to perfect the algorithms which interpret that data in order to instruct the robot in real time.”
