Teledyne FLIR IIS (Built-in Imaging Options) immediately introduced the brand new Bumblebee X sequence – a sophisticated stereo-depth imaginative and prescient resolution optimized for a number of functions. The imaging machine is a complete industrial-grade (IP67) stereo imaginative and prescient resolution with onboard processing to construct profitable programs for warehouse automation, robotics steering, and logistics.

Bumblebee X 5GIGE delivers on the important want for a complete and real-time stereo imaginative and prescient resolution, the Wilsonville, Ore.-based firm says. Clients can take a look at and deploy depth sensing programs that work as much as ranges of 20 meters with the large baseline resolution.

Obtainable in three configurations

The brand new digicam is accessible in three completely different configurations, that are similar apart from the sphere of view (FOV) of the digicam lens. Teledyne designed the digicam to function precisely throughout various distances. The low latency and GigE networking make it ideally suited for real-time functions corresponding to autonomous cellular robots, automated guided automobiles, decide and place, bin choosing, and palletization, the corporate mentioned. 

“We’re thrilled to announce the discharge of Bumblebee X, a brand new complete resolution for tackling advanced depth sensing challenges with ease,” mentioned Sadiq Panjwani, Normal Supervisor at Teledyne FLIR IIS. “Our crew’s in depth stereo imaginative and prescient experience and cautious consideration to buyer insights have knowledgeable the design of the {hardware}, software program, and processing on the core of Bumblebee X. With excessive accuracy throughout a wide range of distances, this resolution is ideal for factories and warehouses.”

Key options embrace:

• Manufacturing facility-calibrated 9.4 in (24 cm) baseline stereo imaginative and prescient with 3 MP sensors for prime accuracy and low latency real-time functions
• IP67 industrial-rated imaginative and prescient system with ordering choices of coloration and monochrome, completely different field-of-views, and 1GigE or 5GigE PoE
• Onboard processing to output a depth map and coloration knowledge for level cloud conversion and colorization
• Capacity to set off an exterior sample projector and synchronize a number of programs collectively for extra exact 3D depth data

Teledyne FLIR manages a software program library with articles, instance code, and Home windows, Linux, and Robotics Working System (ROS) help. Order requests can be accepted on the finish of Q2, 2024.
