How Bin Picking AI Models are Trained
Learn how a bin picking AI model gets trained so you can confidently compare solutions. Here's what happens behind the scenes and what it means for your project.
From Demo to Deployment, Where Robotics Actually Fails
We've made remarkable progress in vision, but for true autonomy in unstructured worlds, the big gap is tactile intelligence. A robot can't just see; it has to 'feel' pressure and tension to handle objects reliably, whether that's a harvest arm or a medical device.
The Silent Stabilizer: Why Gyroscopes Are Essential for Next-Gen Industrial Inspection Robots
A gyro-backed stabilization system is the robot's silent hero, keeping cameras level and navigation accurate so defects aren't overlooked and workers stay out of harm's way.
How Thermal Imaging Modules Are Transforming Industrial Robots for Safer 24/7 Operations
Integrating a high-performance Thermal Imaging Module is more than a sensor upgrade. It is a strategic engineering choice that tackles key industrial automation challenges, including unexpected downtime, fire risks and environmental limitations.
Why Physical AI is Hard
Building AI systems that reliably manipulate objects in unstructured environments may be comparable in complexity to autonomous driving, a field that has absorbed over $100 billion in investment over the past fifteen years and is still not fully solved.
Revolutionizing Cheese Production with AI and Machine Vision: A Success Story from Eberle Automatische Systeme
The food industry is experiencing a transformative shift in quality control, due in part to advances in artificial intelligence (AI). When combined with rule-based machine vision, AI is enabling automation of processes that were previously impossible.
When Machines Learn to See Like Experts: The Rise of Vision Language Models in Manufacturing

VLMs will not resolve every challenge in manufacturing AI. But for quality assurance in high-complexity production environments, they offer a capability step-change that no other current technology matches.
Product Q&A with Ambi Robotics - AmbiVision
AmbiVision was born out of the development of Ambi Robotics' robotic stacking system, AmbiStack, and leverages the same AI skills that power the robot's ability to perceive and interact with packages.
3D Mobile Mapping for Digital Twins: Camera Features That Ensure Accuracy
The cameras at the core of these platforms turn streets, corridors, and structures into the raw visual data that feeds a twin. When the imagery falls short, the entire model loses its purpose.
European researchers developed energy-efficient machine vision inspired by human eyesight and the brain
This enables, for instance, intelligent robots and drones that can operate independently in a rescue mission after an earthquake without constant network connections or bulky batteries.
2025 Top Article - The Ultimate Guide to Depth Perception and 3D Imaging Technologies
Depth perception helps mimic natural spatial awareness by determining how far or close objects are, which makes it invaluable for 3D imaging systems. Get expert insights on how depth perception works, the cues involved, as well as the various types of depth sensing cameras.
CASE STUDY STT SYSTEMS and STEMMER IMAGING: AUTOMOTIVE BOLT INSPECTION SYSTEM WITH GOCATOR SMART 3D LASER PROFILERS
LMI Technologies, in partnership with STT Systems and Stemmer Imaging, implemented an automated quality inspection system to detect missing bolts on automotive blanks. The system integrated multiple Gocator 3D sensors and an RFID tracking system for real-time analysis.

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight
The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
