…technologies including patented algorithms with agile development practices.” At CES in January, SLAMcore demonstrated how the “Perceive” level of its software stack enables robots to segment the objects they see in real time. The systems could give a wider berth to people than stationary objects as they planned safe movement in chaotic spaces, it said. The “hardware zoo” at CES included systems from Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, and NVIDIA—all running the same code, said Nicholson. “Our SDK [software development kit] makes it all possible to tune the algorithms, port them, and test them on low-cost sensors,” he added. Vision, lidar, and…

…drive standard, in addition to low EMC emissions and CE label. Faulhaber said its model equipped with an RS232 interface is ideal for integration both from a PC or via an embedded master. The CANopen version is suited for industrial automation networks. But even using the RS232 version, several drives can be controlled using a single port of the master. Typical tasks like homing a drive can directly be executed by the IMC using its local digital and analog I/Os. Alternatively, both versions can also be operated without a master in “stand-alone” mode. Faulhaber said the digital and analog I/Os…
