Mobile robots
ams OSRAM offers innovative vision and sensing solutions, including VCSEL-based illuminators, global shutter image sensors, and multi-zone time-of-flight modules, enhancing the precision, efficiency, and safety of mobile robots in collaborative environments.
Mobile robots - autonomously guided vehicles (AGVs)
Mobile robots, also known as autonomously guided vehicles (AGVs) or autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), are increasingly popular in automation due to vision-based technologies that enable reliable 3D imaging for object recognition and collision avoidance. These technologies use specially designed cameras, either with stereovision (spatially separated image sensors with synchronized illumination) or structured light (a single sensor with a laser dot projection module). Combining both is known as "active stereovision."
We offer a range of 3D imaging components, including VCSEL-based flood illuminators, dot pattern-emitters projectors, and image sensors in near-infrared or visual light spectrum. Our integrated VCSEL illuminator and projection modules provide high optical and power efficiency. Our small global shutter image sensors enable compact camera designs with excellent optical performance and energy efficiency. For scenarios where camera-based solutions are impractical, our multi-zone direct time-of-flight 3D scanning modules offer a scalable alternative, providing pre-processed 3D data for navigation.
Enhanced human-machine interfaces can further benefit mobile robots in collaborative environments. Our innovative projection solutions improve interaction between robots and humans, reducing collisions and minimizing 'safe stops.'
