It provides solutions for the major societal challenges we currently face, including demographics, healthcare, autonomy, strenuous working conditions, town planning and mobility, to name but a few.

The French Robotics General Assembly is a unique opportunity for all of the business sectors in our economy to measure the opportunities for greater competitiveness, growth and innovation that robotics offers. The roundtable discussions and workshops on offer will bring experts and end users closer together.

Combining the ease of use of a webcam with the performance and reliability of an industrial camera? The uEye XC autofocus camera from IDS Imaging Development Systems proves that this is possible. Its high-resolution imaging, simple setup and adaptability make it an invaluable tool for improving quality control and streamlining workflows in industrial settings - especially for cases where users would normally employ a webcam.
