CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwire - Jul 19, 2011) - Rep Invariant Systems, Inc., a rapidly growing robotics software company, today announced that it has changed its name to Jaybridge Robotics. The Cambridge, Massachusetts company, identified by Mass High Tech as one of "Five You Should Follow," offers leading expertise in autonomous vehicle motion, navigation, perception and systems integration. Over the last twelve months the company has landed significant new projects, grown its staff to over a dozen engineers, and has more than doubled its floor space.


"Our original name, Rep Invariant, refers to an esoteric computer science term. As we attracted a lot of fresh interest from companies in defense, agriculture, mining and materials handling, we realized that the company name should become more accessible. Since we will soon begin to reveal projects and technologies that we have been working on in stealth mode for some time, this seemed like the right moment to make the change," says Jeremy Brown, President of Jaybridge Robotics.

Jaybridge software and systems integration services enable autonomous ground vehicles to operate with high precision using cost-effective commodity sensors and embedded computers. As autonomous vehicle adoption has accelerated, Jaybridge has developed solutions to vexing technical problems pertaining to perception, vehicle control and path planning. The seasoned Jaybridge engineering team is geared to producing real-world-ready products that operate reliably even in harsh conditions, furthering the mainstream adoption of autonomy in defense/first responder, agriculture, mining, materials handling and other industries. The company continues to recruit highly qualified engineers.

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight

The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
