How e-con Systems enables Reliable Low-Level Obstacle Detection in AMRs with a 3D CW-iToF Camera – DepthVista Helix

Suresh Madhu
It’s common knowledge that Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) usually navigate confidently until something small gets in the way. For instance, pallets, pipes, toolboxes, and loose packages can be found below the scanning plane of a 2D LiDAR yet remain invisible to the navigation stack until the robot reaches them. e-con......

How e-con Systems Solves Motion and Lighting Challenges in High-Speed Imaging

Vinoth Rajagopalan
Capturing fast-moving objects requires both precise image capture and controlled illumination. Fast-moving objects can introduce motion-related distortion, while the short exposure times used to freeze motion can reduce the light reaching the sensor. A global shutter camera addresses motion-related distortion by capturing the entire frame simultaneously, making it suitable for......

Understanding SLVS-EC: Bridge the Gap Between High-Speed Sony Sensors and MIPI-Based SoCs

Prabu Kumar
Industrial imaging applications continue to push camera requirements toward higher resolutions, faster frame rates, greater bit depths, and advanced sensor capabilities. This creates a corresponding demand for interfaces that can carry large volumes of image data from the sensor to the processing platform. MIPI CSI-2 remains widely used by embedded......

How Multi-Sensor Fusion of Camera, LiDAR, and IMU Drives Reliable AMR Operation

Suresh Madhu
AMR solutions can automate up to 80% of non-conveyed material movement and reduce inventory needs by up to 30%. Gains like that depend on perception that stays reliable during real material handling. However, reliable AMR operation depends on what the robot can confirm while the material is already moving. Route......

Robotics Development Just Got Faster & Smarter: e-con Systems’ iToF 3D Camera Comes to NVIDIA Isaac Sim

Arun Asokan
Every robotics project that depends on 3D perception starts with the same high-stakes questions: How many cameras are required? Where should they be mounted? Traditionally, answering these questions has meant procuring hardware, building test rigs, and iterating slowly. This can consume weeks of engineering effort before a single line of......

How e-con Systems Delivered a Complete RGB-D Vision Solution for a Physical AI Robotics Leader

Prabu Kumar
Physical AI is moving fast from lab demos to production floors, but it only works if robots can perceive the world with human-like precision. For a robotic arm picking thousands of unique objects an hour, depth perception is measured in millimeters. And so, even a few millimeters of error can...
