Robotics Alley Partners with UL LLC to Create Engineering Track
The world of robotics is transforming many industries, which is why Robotics Alley Conference & Expo created nine robotics seminar tracks for the conference. In 2014, Robotics Alley has partnered with UL LLC to produce the Engineering Track.
Minneapolis, Minn. August 27, 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.
In recognition of the wide variety of ways robotics is being applied today, the 2014 Robotics Alley Conference & Expo designed nine tracks of content, including an Engineering Track created in partnership with UL LLC.
This seminar track will offer technical education covering IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition and will provide a certification of attendance following the sessions. The presentations include: IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition; Risk Management Concepts within IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition; and Software Compliance for IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition, including IEC 62304. In addition, there will be sessions on Women in Robotics and the Expanded Use of Robotics in the Production of Critical Components.
Below is a sampling of the content for the Engineering Track, which includes breakout sessions. In addition, new to this years conference are virtual business tours taking place on September 18.

IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition
Ben Dahlen, Engineering Leader of UL LLC, will reviews the updates and provide an understanding of changes being implemented through Amendment I of IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition.
Risk Management Concepts within IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition
Risk management is an integral part of an investigation to IEC 60601-1. As such, manufacturers need to understand the concept of risk management used in IEC 60601 in order to apply the standard. In this session presented by Ben Dahlen, Engineering Leader of UL LLC, attendees will gain a high-level introduction to the requirements related to Risk Management for IEC 60601-1.
Software Compliance for IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition, including IEC 62304
Laura Elan, Program Manager of Life & Health Sciences at UL LLC, will provide an overview of requirements for software and programmable systems, specifically highlighting three common "pain points" of software certification; software of unknown provenance, risk management for software, and legacy devices.
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.
