Evolution Robotics Licenses Technology to Korean Institute
Tweet1/4/08 – Pasadena-based Evolution Robotics, the provider of robotic technologies for consumer products, today announced that the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology has licensed its ViPR robotic visual pattern recognition technology for incorporation into the Institute’s national robot platform Software Development Kit.
The deal means that ViPR will be included in the Institute’s Center for Advanced Robotics Industrial Infrastructures robot platform, or SDK, which has been developed for Korean academic organizations. The SDK’s goal is to expedite robotics research, help reduce the cost and efforts associated with developing object recognition functions, and also to avoid redundant investment of resources in the development of new robotic technologies.
Evolution Robotics says its ViPR technology provides a reliable and robust vision solution that truly gives electronic devices the ability to detect and recognize complex visual patterns. It says a ViPR-enabled device can automatically detect and recognize visual patterns using low-cost imagers like the ones found in the vast majority of camera phones.
ViPR technology has already been successfully deployed in other robotic products to enable applications like autonomous navigation, fraud detection, and target tracking in the consumer, industrial and defense markets, according to Evolution.
Evolution Robotics is an IdeaLab startup.
