ROSEMONT, Ill., June 17, 2009 – It was day two of the Robots & Vision show at the Donald E. Stephens convention center in Rosemont, Illinois, and I had to make sure that I wasn’t dreaming when I saw a colossal robot hoist a gigantic block of steel into the air like it was a rag doll. It was the Super Heavy-Duty M-2000iA from Fanuc Robotics. This monster can carry a 1,350 kg payload—more than 2,000 pounds. That’s more than one U.S. ton. Fanuc Robotics had automatons that can lift and sort everything from hamburger patties to hubcaps. On the other side of the convention center were the LED lights for machine vision....Read full article

    diffuse illumination
    Light emitted by one or more sources and characterized by a high degree of scatter.
    machine vision
    Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
