Robotics in industrial production
Sick offers a broad portfolio of solutions for 2D and 3D localization of parts in automated, robot-assisted handling processes.

I read that, according to Universal Robots, there are only a few thousand real collaborative robots working side by side with humans in the production environment.

The Suhl-based company Vision & Control is inviting 60 students from Ilmenau Technical University and selected school pupils to the Vision trade fair in Stuttgart, including bus travel and overnight accommodation. The aim is to get the young people interested in industrial image processing.

Fanuc focused on high precision when developing the new Robonano α-NMiA, which will be launched at the AMB.
With Eligopart, Attentra has developed a camera system with an autonomous setup assistant that makes it easy to implement pick & place applications without expert knowledge.

Harting is driving forward the standardization of the new Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) technology. In a multi-stage selection process, international standardization committees have now opted for an SPE plug-in face from the technology group.
Requirements for autonomous vehicles
The race for fully autonomous cars is in full swing. Simulations have become increasingly important as a more cost-effective alternative to the practical driving tests required to prove safety in order to successfully complete autonomous vehicle programs.

IEF-Werner has further developed its Aipress. Compared to the previous version, the new generation of servo presses offers more power in a compact installation space.
As 3D applications are optimized, the complexity of handling camera hardware and its data increases. With the Ensenso SDK 2.2 and the new 5 MP camera models, IDS offers solutions that simplify the handling of 3D data.
