Boston, MA – April 11, 2018 – On April 10, Photoneo®, #FocusedOn3D, was presented with a bronze-level award in the “Cameras - 3D” Category at the Fourth Annual Vision Systems Design Innovators Awards presentation, held during The Vision Show in Boston, MA. Our PhoXi® 3D Scanner was recognized by a panel of esteemed experts from system integrator and end-user companies.

A marvelous job has been done by Ken Goldberg, a professor at University of California, Berkeley, his graduate student Jeff Mahler & their crew. They've developed a special robot's brain using software Dex-Net, thanks to which the two-arm robot can pick a great variety of objects with an unbelievable efficiency. The solution was presented at the San Francisco event EmTech Digital dedicated to artificial intelligence, organized by MIT Technology Review. We are happy to contribute with one piece of the puzzle - PhoXi 3D Scanner that gifts the extremely dexterous robot with sight.

Read our latest paper to find out more about our 3D scanning technology and how it contributes to our bin picking solutions. While the idea of the robotic arm picking of randomly placed objects from a container is rather simple to imagine, real implementation brings inevitable challenges. In the article, our Director of Robot Vision Adrian Kratky elaborates on such challenges experienced in an actual bin picking use case, and the capability of hardware and software developed by Photoneo to tackle the issues.

Photoneo has made it to the 50 Millennial Entrepreneurs Driving The Future of Tech in Europe. Every company from the so-called #EUTop50 had a unique opportunity to present itself at the European Parliament in Brussels on 28 November . Photoneo was represented by our COO Michal Maly who held a speech on automation and our 3D sensing technology.

We've had a great time in Silicon Valley during October/November. Photoneo is one of this year's ABB IdeaHub Innovation Challenge 10 selected finalists from all over the world, who had a chance to present their ideas to the executive management of ABB Robotics during the ABB Pitch Day in San Jose. Our CEO Jan Zizka also held a presentation at the Silicon Valley Robotics Meetup. The Collaborative Robots and Advanced Vision Conference (CRAV2017) organized by AIA and RIA was also an exceptional opportunity to introduce ourselves to the US market. Last but not least, we've enjoyed dozens of interesting and encouraging meetings moving us a leap forward. No autumn blues for Photoneo, please! ;)
