What are the Key Engineering Challenges in Autonomous Docking Systems and How are they Solved? (Part 2)

Arun AsokanApril 10, 20260

Designing an ROS 2-based autonomous docking system is only half the story. Deploying it in the real world is another matter entirely. Since real industrial environments don’t cooperate with textbook assumptions, understanding these challenges will help you assess what ‘robust’ really means in this context. In part 1 of this...

How Robot Fleets achieve Full Mission Autonomy – From ROS 2 Autonomous Docking to Self-Charging

Arun AsokanApril 10, 20260

True operational autonomy requires more than mapping since robots have stringent expectations to meet. They must manage their own energy, return to charge when needed, and resume their missions without human intervention. e-con Systems has developed a project of a ROS 2 autonomous docking system that enables these robots to...

How to Overcome Vision Challenges While Building a Multi-Robot Mapping System (Part 2)

Arun AsokanApril 2, 20260

In part 1 of this series, you explored why multi-robot autonomous mapping is becoming essential for large-scale facilities and what the core components of a modern multi-robot mapping system are. But knowing what a system should do is only half the story. The real questions shake things up real fast....

Why Multi-Robot Autonomous Mapping Is Becoming Essential for Large-Scale Facilities (Part 1)

Arun AsokanMarch 2, 20260

For years, facility digitization has relied on a single, expensive robot slowly traversing every corridor of a warehouse, laboratory, or industrial plant. While effective, this approach is linear, which clashes with the fact that facilities are becoming larger and the demand for up-to-date digital twins has intensified. It means that...

Top 5 Scenarios for choosing FSCAM_CU135 over See3CAM_CU135

Arun AsokanJanuary 23, 20230

Choosing between See3CAM_CU135 - a 4K USB camera and FSCAM_CU135 - a multi-frame buffer camera- can be challenging. Let’s look at the five application scenarios in which See3CAM_CU135 would be the preferred choice.

How many FSCAM_CU135s can I connect to my system?

Arun AsokanJuly 6, 20220

The FSCAM_CU135 camera is perfect for multi-camera systems that are connected to a single host like photogrammetry and 3D document scanning. One of the most frequent questions about it is exactly how many cameras can be connected. Let’s find out!

Reliable USB Data transfer with “Multi Frame Buffer” in FSCAM_CU135

Arun AsokanDecember 3, 20240

Any USB’s practical data rate is based on processing, host controllers, the RAM space, and so on. Slow encoding processes can lead to partial image frame corruption issues. See why multi-frame buffer cameras like FSCAM_CU135 are the ideal problem solver.

See3CAMs with LattePanda

Arun AsokanJuly 7, 20220

Many questions came our way regarding our support for the See3CAM camera series on “LattePanda”- a USB-powered board with Ethernet, USB 2.0/3.0 ports, HDMI video, etc. - driven by an inbuilt Arduino. Get all the answers in one place.

See3CAM_CU20 VS See3CAM_CU30

Arun AsokanJuly 27, 20220

e-con Systems launched the See3CAM_CU20 – a Full HD (1080p) camera even though we already offered the ever-popular See3CAM_CU30. Why? Find out what makes See3CAM_CU20 and See3CAM_CU30 co-exist in our product line-up.

Target Luminance or Exposure Compensation in See3CAM_CU30

Arun AsokanDecember 3, 20240

Target luminance or exposure compensation is a target value to be achieved by the camera’s auto-exposure algorithm. The more control you have, the better it can be for your application. Discover how you can calculate the luminance of a frame in the See3CAM_CU30 – one of e-con’s low-light USB cameras.
