  • Patent number: 10875187
    Abstract: A robotic arm mounted camera system allows an end-user to begin using the camera for object recognition without involving a robotics specialist. Automated object model calibration is performed under conditions of variable robotic arm pose dependent feature recognition of an object. The user can then teach the system to perform tasks on the object using the calibrated model. The camera's body can have parallel top and bottom sides and adapted to be fastened to a robotic arm end and to an end effector with its image sensor and optics extending sideways in the body, and it can include an illumination source for lighting a field of view.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6164141
    Abstract: A gas delivery sensor, of the type in which two upstream and downstream pressure pick-up conduits, which are each connected to a pressure sensor, open into a gas flow duct, in which a permeable element extends axially at least between opening ends of the two pressure pick-up conduits characterized in that the permeable element is produced in the form of a body which has, in cross-section, a shape complementary to that of the duct and which includes slots extending radially about its axis, so as to open radially onto an outer lateral surface of the body, and in that the slots extend axially over the entire length of the permeable body.
