Datalogic, Datasensing and Oversonic, the leading edge of technology for Industry 5.0

Datalogic and Datasensing partner with Oversonic Robotics to showcase RoBee, an autonomously guided humanoid robot, at the SPS IPC Drives event. RoBee assists humans in daily operational tasks, thanks to its cognitive computing systems, artificial intelligence algorithms, and Safety Laser Scanner technology.

Datalogic, a global technology leader in the automatic data capture and factory automation markets, and Datasensing, a Datalogic Group company specializing in sensors, security devices, and machine vision, will blaze the trail this year at the SPS IPC Drives event, thanks to the special presence of Oversonic Robotics, a pioneering software company that develops cognitive computing systems.


The collaboration among these companies has created a technological partnership that brings real value to the rapidly advancing world of Industry 5.0.

In fact, innovation and cutting-edge technology are the primary focus for the Datalogic Group and Oversonic Robotics at SPS Italia, where the real power of Industry 5.0 human-machine cooperation will be unleashed, proving its real added value for industrial production processes.

At SPS IPC Drives attendees will have the unique opportunity to meet RoBee, an autonomously guided humanoid robot from Oversonic Robotics, built to showcase innovative solutions and applications in the manufacturing and medical industries. RoBee's primary purpose is to assist humans in daily operational tasks rather than to replace them. RoBee carries out those annoying activities that humans hate as they are repetitive, strenuous, and even dangerous.

Standing 185 cm tall and weighing up to 120 kg (depending on configuration), RoBee is a machine that aesthetically and mechanically mimics the structure of the human body. Through a proprietary technology platform that processes complex artificial intelligence algorithms, RoBee implements cognitive processes that enable it to operate and interact autonomously in shared public and industrial environments to assist people in a variety of tasks, especially those involving activities that are hazardous to physical and mental health. It has amazing limb mobility thanks to the integration of onboard technologies and 40 joints, and able to navigate spaces, manipulate objects, recognize people and the environment, receive voice commands, and even support a conversation.

RoBee will be shown in its full range of capabilities for intralogistics applications. Datasensing's Safety Laser Scanner (SLS) enables RoBee to move and seamlessly interact with human operators in complete safety by constantly monitoring the environment and ensuring that its assigned path is clear of any obstacles that could impede productivity. The exceptional operational flexibility and ease of configuration of the SLS is the perfect match for RoBee, allowing it to perform a variety of tasks on the shop floor.

"Oversonic was born in 2020, combining entrepreneurial design and progressive goal aimed at well-being: taking full advantage of the benefits that the future can bring us by developing and improving the cognitive capabilities of artificial intelligence. We want to create innovative solutions and applications in the world of industry and healthcare," says Paolo Denti, founder and CEO of Oversonic Robotics.

"We are very excited about this collaboration, which demonstrates how Datalogic and Datasensing are at the forefront of robotics and industrial automation," declares Angelo Nicoletti, Datasensing's Italy Regional Sales Manager. "Our goal is to provide Oversonic with the best products on the market that will allow RoBee to perform the functions for which it was created."

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances

IDS Imaging Development Systems offers a range of models, from a webcam-like camera in industrial quality to a tiny autofocus camera that weighs just12 grams. The 13 MP autofocus camera uEye XC closes the market gap between industrial cameras and webcams. Setting up and operating only requires a cable connection. After that, the autofocus camera immediately delivers high-resolution, detailed images and videos. With the optionally available, quickly exchangeable macro lens, users can easily shorten the minimum object distance of the camera. This makes it also suitable for close-up applications. Focus from a distance of just 10 cm. The uEye XS is even more compact and fits into almost any application with its size of just 26.4 x 23 x 21.7 mm. Thanks to its autofocus and 5 MP CMOS sensor, it delivers consistently sharp images and videos from a distance of just 10 cm. When it comes to image quality, natural color reproduction and harmonious contrast are also decisive factors. IDS has therefore equipped the uEye XS with many other practical automatic features familiar from consumer technology. This includes white balance, exposure and gain. As a result, it delivers the best possible result in every situation.
