Vigilus Mobile Camera Platform Invited To Exhibit At Inaugural Security Robotics Zone At ESX In Nashville
"Having an area dedicated to robots specifically designed for the security market indicates the need for this type of technology"
DENVER, June 18, 2013 -- Vigilant Robots, Colorado-based manufacturer of the Vigilusâ„¢ Mobile Camera Platform, an autonomous patrol-and-report security robot, has been invited to exhibit at the inaugural Security Robotics Zone within ESX, the Electronic Security Expo, in Nashville this week.
"We were thrilled to find out there had been an actual section of the exhibit floor carved out for robotics," said CEO Dr. Louise Gunderson. "Having an area dedicated to robots specifically designed for the security market indicates the need for this type of technology," she continued. "Most important to us, however, is the focus on Security Integrators. This show is for them, and it is the Security Integrator who is looking for the cutting-edge solutions for their customers that we hope to connect with this week."
"ESX is the perfect venue to show our robots, and we'll have one on patrol both days of the exhibition. We want to show integrators that while an autonomous robot is high-tech, and a perfect addition to some security teams, it is composed of mostly off-the-shelf components so service is a simple matter." Pam Gheysar, Vice President of Business Development continued, "Our product offers a less-than one year ROI for the end-client, a profit at the sale for the Security Integrator who installs the robot, and RMR via an annual service contract and that is a triple win."
The award-winning robot (ASIS Accolades Sept 2012, SIA New Product Showcase Honorable Mention) may receive a third security industry award in as many competitions. "Our research has paid off; we asked experts in the security industry what our robot had to do to be useful and that is what we built," said Dr. Louise Gunderson. "Moving forward we will continue to listen to industry experts as we develop future generations. Those Intetgrators who add robots to their inventory of products and service skills will help us form the future of autonomous security robotics and that is very exciting!"
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.
