MecklerMedia Enters Robotic Trade Show Business With RoboUniverse in May 2015
Richard Erb to Become Executive Director of RoboUniverse
NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2014 -- MecklerMedia Corporation (OTCQX: MECK) announced that the company will launch RoboUniverse, a new trade show and conference aimed at exploring the development and use of home, education, and business robotics, on May 12-13 at the Javits Convention Center in New York City.
Richard Erb, who has served as the General Manager for RoboBusiness since 2011, will join MecklerMedia as the Executive Director of the RoboUniverse trade show series worldwide.
"There has been incredible growth in the robotics industry recently, yet there is no significant worldwide trade show that analyzes the educational, business, and technical opportunities within the space," says Alan Meckler, CEO of MecklerMedia. "Just as we've become leaders in 3D printing and cryptocurrency conferences, we hope to be in the same position with robotics by the end of 2015."

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
