Sisu Utilizes Sixense for a Superior High-Speed Industrial Robot Programming Solution
STEM System Technology Incorporated into VUDU System for Precision Robots in Industrial Environments
Los Gatos, Calif. - September 10, 2018 -- Sixense Enterprises Inc., a leading provider of immersive computing solutions for enterprises, and Sisu, a creator of industrial, intuitive robot systems, today announced that Sixenses STEM technology will be deployed in Sisus VUDU system for industrial robot programming. Sixenses advanced motion-tracking has enabled Sisu to launch their most intuitive system yet, reducing programming time from days or hours to just minutes.
Sixenses motion tracking solution pairs perfectly with Sisus VUDU system by providing highly accurate tracking data to enable extremely precise control for programming industrial robots and machinery. Unlike many industrial motion tracking applications, Sixenses technology is not subject to ambient light interference and occlusion, making for a more seamless control experience in industrial environments where light levels and physical location may not be ideal.
"In the past, conditions on factory and shop floors have made it nearly impossible to deploy advanced motion capture technology that is essential for enabling easy programming of industrial robots," said Russell Aldridge, Co-founder and CEO of Sisu. "With Sixenses motion tracking technology, we are able to bypass these issues, paving the way for countless organizations to increase their efficiency through precision automation."
Sisus VUDU System makes industrial robot programming easier than ever before, by deploying Sixenses motion tracking solution, the systems controller is able to translate and rotate the end effector in six degrees of freedom. The handheld controller is paired with a tablet to enable ease of editing and viewing of the program, adjusting points, saving programs, defining speeds, changing move types, activating grippers, adding programming blocks, and defining acceleration. The VUDU System dramatically decreases the time and complexity of programming, opening the path to automation for thousands of new applications.
"We are very excited to be Sisus motion tracking solution choice for their revolutionary VUDU System," said Amir Rubin, CEO of Sixense. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with Sisu to make the VUDU System the leading solution for robotics programming by enabling easy and intuitive programming of robots anywhere, in real time"
The VUDU system is highly intuitive, allowing one to control articulation speed by increasing or decreasing pressure on the controller trigger. The joystick can be used for fine adjustment with the frame of reference constantly adjusting to the position of the user. Positions can be recorded as point-to-point moves, or as part of a spline. Users can switch between the standard Global Reference Frame and the Tool Reference Frame, enabling movement in the same direction as the end effector, an important feature for assembly or machine-tending.

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.
