Roboteq Launches Enhanced Sensor for Guiding Robotic Vehicles along Invisible Magnetic Tracks
 |
Roboteq, Inc introduces a new magnetic guide sensor capable of detecting and reporting the position of a magnetic field along its horizontal axis. The sensor is intended for line following robotic applications, using adhesive magnetic tape to form a track guide on the floor. The 165mm wide sensor uses advanced signal processing to accurately measure its lateral distance from the center of the track, from a height up to 60mm.

Roboteq backs Raspberry PI-based Robot Navigation Computer project on Kickstarter
 |
Roboteq, Inc is collaborating on a kickstarter project named RIO (for Raspberry IO) and aimed at creating an intelligent I/O card that stacks over the $35 Raspberry PI Linux Single Board computer. The RIO card includes a rich set of I/O and connectivity features. The card can also be fitted with an optional ARHS module, including 3 axis accelerometer, 3 axis gyroscope, 3 axis magnetometer and a fusion algorithm for precise attitude and heading measure. |
Motion control for multi-axis Robotics applications
 |
Ingenia Motion Control and Icarus Technology have developed a distributed motion control architecture, tested for demanding real-time and multi-axis robotics applications. At the heart of such architecture is the CMI-Master, a compact and affordable Single Board Computer coupled with a high-level software framework that makes easy to control any number of servo drives. |

Robotic joints now available for order
 |
Robolink multi-axis joint modules from igus® are now available for order. Robolink is used for humanoid robots and other lightweight automation applications and includes a variety of options and components. These range from high-strength Bowden cables, to drive units and attachment accessories for the robot arm. More than 100 beta-testers used free prototypes to further the development of robolink for a variety of applications before mass production began. The applications were diverse and ranged from underwater, mobile and humanoid robots, to dental technology and camera guidance for production monitoring and sewage-pipe inspection. |
PI to Exhibit Piezo Products at MD&M Medical Design and Manufacturing Midwest
 |
Minneapolis, MN - Piezo and precision motion control specialist PI (Physik Instrumente) LP exhibits its latest piezomotors, piezo positioners and 6-axis hexapod robots at the MD&M show, Booth 237, October 13-14, Minneapolis Convention Center, Minnesota. Piezo based products find wide use in medical device applications due to their low power requirements, compactness, fast response and nonmagnetic features. Piezo ceramics can be used in applications from nebulizers (ultrasonics) to positioning devices in MRI (piezo linear and rotary motors) . |
