Video: Growth of Machine Vision

Video: Growth  of Machine Vision

Control Design magazine surveyed its readers on their use of machine vision, wireless sensing, and smart cameras. Editor Mike Bacidore presents the somewhat surprising results and discusses their implications with a savvy systems integrator, who like a football color commentator, puts his perspectiveon what machine vision users now want.

A High Tech Book for the Blind

A High Tech Book for the Blind

Designed for the visually impaired or for those with learning disabilities, this new device photographs text in books, menus, or just about anywhere. Material is read aloud using text-to-speech technology. It can scan a standard book in about half an hour and can store about 600 books in its 2G memory. A videodemonstrates the capabilities of the paperback-sized reader.

Lexus Wide-View Cameras: No more blind corners

Nudge forward out of a garage, and cameras mounted on the grille and under the passenger-side mirror on the 2008 Lexus LX57 see around the corners before you do, sparing pedestrians that cross your path. A second camera provides a view of the ground beside the vehicle, so you don’t scuff those new tires on the curb. The navigation screen can display both views simultaneously. lexus.com

NASA Mars Lander: Life on Mars within reach

Aside from actual living things, the ultimate find for planetary science is the stuff that makes life possible: water. That’s exactly what NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander found in July, when its scooping device uncovered clumps of ice buried just beneath the surface of the Martian arctic plain. Guided by a team of scientists at the University of Arizona, the Lockheed Martin–built spacecraft has been up there since May, gathering soil samples using its robotic arm and capturing the highest-resolution images of another planet ever taken. Phoenix analyzes Martian soil and ice samples using the most advanced onboard microscopes, electro-chemistry analyzers, high-temperature furnaces, and mass spectrometers ever sent to another planet, breaking down the raw material of the Red Planet into its most basic components. The lander stores that data on a one-terabyte solid-state hard drive and then beams it—along with meteorological data captured by its weather-monitoring tools—back to Earth. But all things must pass: Any day now, as the Martian winter brings on months of nonstop darkness, the solar-powered lander will shut down, most likely for good. phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu

A robot that takes surer steps using “chaos control”

For conscious, biological beings, walking comes easy. But the process of lining up one step after another across varying and uneven terrain is no stroll through the park. Just ask a prosthesis tech fitting a fabricated leg to an amputee or a roboticist trying to teach a humanoid robot to walk; recreating human gait and all the variations thereof is a huge technical challenge. To that end, researchers in Gottingen, Germany have developed a six-legged walking robot that can autonomously switch between different gaits depending on terrain and conditions.
