QUAN PREPS LOI TO PURSUE JOINT VENTURE WITH UNIVERSITY RESEARCHERS
Robotics company Quantum International Corp. (OTCBB: QUAN) announced today that it has prepared a letter of intent to present to the University of Houston in order to move forward with negotiations toward a possible joint venture with the school's robotics researchers.
Prof. Jose Luis Contreras-Vidal is leading a team of engineers at the University of Houston that's close to a new breakthrough that could allow wheelchair users to walk by manipulating robotic exoskeletons using only brainwaves.
Quantum signed a non-discloser agreement with the University of Houston this summer. Once the letter of intent has been signed by both parties, Quantum will have weeks to negotiate a possible definitive agreement to help bring the interface technology to market.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
