Evolution Robotics Reaches Two Million Product Milestone
5/16/07 – Pasadena-based Evolution Robotics, the provider of robotic technologies for consumer products, has announced that there are now more than two million products in the market powered by the company’s technologies. Evolution Robotics, which made the announcement at the RoboBusiness 2007 show in Boston, partners with companies to help make their products smarter by delivering solutions for robotic vision, navigation and intelligence at a low cost.
The company says that over the last year, it has partnered with Bandai Networks, WowWee and Bandai Toys among others on a range of products including visual search applications for mobile phones to navigation solutions for smarter robotic vacuum cleaners.
Evolution says solutions currently being deployed on the market include ViPR, a vision solution that gives electronic devices the ability to detect and recognize complex visual patterns; NorthStar, a low cost localization solution that enables mobile robots (think robotic toys and vacuums) to intelligently navigate within indoor settings using a proprietary micro-GPS system; vSLAM, a vision-based navigation solution that lets robots autonomously build a map of their location and keep track of where they are based on what they see; and ERSP, a software development platform for robotics that includes tools for ViPR, vSLAM and the Evolution Robotics Software Architecture.
The company is an IdeaLab startup.
