Gamma 2 Robotics Invited to Host Roundtable at National Sports Safety & Security Conference
One of only 10 companies selected; more than 500 industry professionals to attend
DENVER, July 2, 2014 -- Gamma 2 Robotics ("G2R") (www.Gamma2Robotics.com), developers of the world's first commercially available security robot, announced today that it has been invited to host a roundtable session at the 2014 National Sports Safety & Security Conference ("NCS4"), July 8 - 10 in Indianapolis, IN (www.ncs4.com). One of just 10 companies selected, G2R will contribute to this year's theme of "The Business of Sports Safety & Security" by illustrating the role robots can play at sporting events. Already the preeminent industry gathering, the 2013 conference drew a record 500 attendees, comprised of sports venue operators, managers, security and safety staff, first responders, government agency representatives and league/association professionals.
"The NCS4 conference and its audience represent an ideal opportunity to introduce our Vigilant robot to decision makers in an enormous market," stated G2R President and Co-Founder Jim Gunderson. "Our invitation to host a "mini-conference" further validates our product and its application.
"As the 2013 Boston Marathon tragedy demonstrated, the sports industry needs substantially more - and more effective - security. With 277 million tickets sold to paid events alone each year, the challenges to keeping spectators from harm are enormous…and only growing greater. Our robots can ready a venue in advance of an event, confirming vendor identities, noting and reporting suspicious items and we are working on modules for detecting traces of explosive vapors."

About the 2014 National Sports Safety & Security Conference (www.ncs4.com)
NCS4 will hold the fifth annual National Sports Safety and Security Conference and Exhibition on July 8-10, 2014 in Indianapolis, IN. This year's theme is "The Business of Sports Safety and Security." The security function's role in the post-9/11 era is now, more than ever, a business one. No longer an afterthought, security has become a core function embedded in disciplines such as finance, law, marketing and operations. The gathering of top professionals in the field will provide a wholesome environment dedicated to security/safety technologies, products, services and education for safeguarding the assets and spectators we are charged to protect.

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.
