Fixposition released new product: Vision-RTK 2
Disruptive solution fuses positioning satellites, computer vision, and inertial sensors to enable precise, autonomous vehicle and machine navigation in the most demanding areas.
Fixposition (www.fixposition.com), a cutting-edge Swiss technology company providing high-precision positioning solutions announces a pioneering centimeter-level positioning sensor, the Vision-RTK 2 in March 2022 this year.
The low-power and compact, industrial-grade device is ideal for autonomous delivery and logistics vehicles, agriculture, mowing and landscaping machines, as well as any other application where precise, uninterrupted positioning must always be available everywhere.
"As vehicles and machines become increasingly autonomous, they must safely and precisely negotiate complex routes, even where global positioning satellite visibility is degraded or blocked," said Dr. Zhenzhong Su, CEO and Co-founder of Fixposition, "With Vision-RTK 2, these applications are becoming possible. Our deep sensor fusion technology combines satellite GNSS technology with advanced computer vision and machine learning. It delivers a best-in-class solution at the right price-point for applications where centimeter to decimetre-level accuracy is not only crucial but must be available under all conditions."
"We are using a global optimization-based sensor fusion technique that is much more robust and powerful than traditional Kalman filters" said Lukas Meier, CTO and Co-founder of Fixposition, "our computer vision-based dead reckoning technology has clear advantages over purely IMU based products."

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.
