Fourth Annual Robotics Alley Conference & Expo Highlights Nine Robotics Seminar Tracks

Robotics Alley is an initiative to spur public-private partnerships in the business, research, and development of robotics and automation systems. Robotics leaders from multiple industries will share their insights into the present and future of robotics and autonomous systems on September 16-17, 2014, at the Robotics Alley Conference & Expo.

Minneapolis, Minnesota August 14, 2014


Global leaders in robotics research, design, business development, investment, law and policy will gather at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest on September 16-17, 2014, to share their insights into the worldwide explosion of robotics and autonomous systems at the Fourth Annual Robotics Alley Conference & Expo. New to this years conference are virtual business tours, which will take place on September 18. Note: Early-bird registration pricing ends Friday, August 15.

The 2014 Robotics Alley Conference & Expo will include nine seminar tracks: Agriculture & Natural Resources; Health Care & Medical Device; Manufacturing & Assembly; Transportation; Security & Defense; Retail & Commercial Applications; Research & Development; Legal, Business & Investment; and Engineering.

These tracks will give attendees the chance to learn how robotics is transforming these industries now and into the future. Attendees will also have networking opportunities with leading robotics companies, industry organizations and universities.

During the conference, there will be more than 30 sessions in total. Attendees will have the opportunity bounce between tracks, learning about a variety of industries, or stick to a single topic throughout the conference.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

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.
