#1550nm LiDAR | Advantages: safety, range, and performance in various environmental conditions | Enhanced Eye Safety: absorbed more efficiently by cornea and lens of eye, preventing light from reaching sensitive retina | Longer Detection Range | Improved Performance in Adverse Weather Conditions such as as fog, rain, or dust | Reduced Interference from Sunlight and Other Light Sources | More expensive due to complexity and lower production volumes of their components
#ROS 2 | The second version of the Robot Operating System | Communication, compatibility with other operating systems | Authentication and encryption mechanisms | Works natively on Linux, Windows, and macOS | Fast RTPS based on DDS (Data Distribution Service) | Programming languages: C++, Python, Rust
#Dexterous robot | Manipulate objects with precision, adaptability, and efficiency | Dexterity involves fine motor control, coordination, ability to handle a wide range of tasks, often in unstructured environments | Key aspects of robot dexterity include grip, manipulation, tactile sensitivity, agility, and coordination | Robot dexterity is crucial in: manufacturing, healthcare, logistics | Dexterity enables automation in tasks that traditionally require human-like precision
#Mapping offshore seamounts | Seamount communities | Methodology protocol for seamount exploration | Mapping in detail, the high levels of biodiversity | Seamounts conservation requirements | Coral nursery
#Equipping yachts to aid in research | Y.CO | Full service Luxury Yacht Company | Bringing together a dynamic and ever-evolving network of crews, captains, yards, clients, and thought leaders to keep excellence in yachting moving forward | Managing over 100 large yacht operations, from traditional operations to private fleets, special purpose yachts, exploration vessels and regatta racing teams | Yacht Charter | Luxury yachts | Crafting experiences | Waterdports experiences | Bringing on board specialist instructors | Moonen partnership | Moonen Martinique deal
#SmartGyro stabilization technology | Smartgyro stabilizers effectively reduce boat roll through force created by spinning of flywheel inside vacuum-enclosed sphere, which is then transferred into hull structure to counteract wave motion | Gyroscope is spinning wheel (flywheel) or disk that maintains its orientation and resists changes in its axis of rotation | Gyroscopic effect | The law of conservation of angular momentum | Precession motion | Moment of inertia | Gyro stabilizers are mounted in such a way that force that disturbs axis of orientation of flywheel is (mainly) force caused by rolling | When vessel rolls due to wave motion, on-board gyroscope responds by generating forces that oppose these movements | Antiroll effect can be increased by installing more gyros | Precession motion must always be carefully controlled, continuously adjusting and synchronizing its amplitude and its time correlation with incoming sea waves | Motion control system takes care of this important task by means of hardware computing platform, and series of sensors distributed on different parts of machine | Based on data acquired by sensors, (including boat state - roll, pitch and precession rotation angle), algorithms precisely regulate braking effect of hydraulic pistons mounted on side of sphere containing flywheel, and ultimately, synchronize precession motion with rolling wave | Control system is capable of responding to different, ever changing sea conditions rapidly, and maximum antiroll torque is always generated, whatever sea state | Smartgyro modular approach splits stabilizer into smaller, easy-to-handle components | Modular design allows for opening of sphere containing flywheel, to inspect, extract or replace internal components
#GMSL2 (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link 2) | High-speed, automotive-grade digital interface used in robotics to transmit uncompressed high-resolution video, control data, and power over a single cable with near-zero latency | Developed by Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) | Acts as a highly reliable neural highway connecting cameras and sensors to a robot central processing brain (such as NVIDIA Jetson or industrial PC) | GMSL2 relies on hardware technique called SerDes (Serializer / Deserializer) | At camera a tiny Serializer chip takes massive, parallel raw video data from camera sensor and squashes it into a single, high-speed serial stream | Through cable stream travels down a single coaxial or Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable | At host computer a deserializer chip on carrier board converts serial data back into parallel format (usually MIPI CSI-2), handing it off to AI processor instantly | Key benefits for robotic systems include ultra-low latency: unlike Ethernet or Wi-Fi, GMSL2 does not compress video which guarantees near-instantaneous transmission, allowing Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) traveling at high speeds to detect obstacles and brake in real time | Long reach & thin cabling: GMSL2 can transmit 4K data flawlessly over single cables up to 15 meters (50 feet) | Power Over Coax (PoC): a single wire carries uncompressed video, bidirectional control commands (like I2C/UART to adjust exposure), and physical power needed to run camera, which massively slashes robot weight, clutter, and cable management failure points | Immunity to heavy industrial noise: Warehouses and manufacturing floors are flooded with electromagnetic interference (EMI) from heavy motors and power lines, GMSL2 chips use High Immunity Mode (HIM) and programmable spread spectrum clocking to guarantee zero dropped frames in chaotic electronic environments | Perfect multi-camera sync: for robots utilizing 360° surround-view setups or stereoscopic depth-sensing, a single GMSL2 deserializer can aggregate and lock multiple camera feeds in perfect timestamp synchronization | Common robotics use cases:Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) | Industrial Robotic Arms | Agricultural & All-Terrain Robots
