ueye Pioneer underwater drone from Blueye Robotics received the prestigious DOGA award in Norway. Designed with partner EGGS Design, judges complimented the drone saying, "Blueye is a drone for both professionals and regular, curious users. It's almost impossible to look at it without thinking you'd like such a thing. This product opens up a wealth of applications from inspection of ships and subsea installations to underwater safaris." The affordable Blueye Pioneer is rugged, lightweight and can go down to 150 meters, eight times deeper than an average scuba diver can reach. It has a special light-sensitive camera technology that delivers true-color imaging at ocean depths and it is exceptionally stable, even in adverse ocean conditions. The drone is extremely user friendly and operated by a smartphone, tablet or PC. The Blueye Pioneer appeals to "underwater tourists" as well as scientists and businesses like offshore wind parks.

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.
