Introduction

Hardware

RAiV (Robotic Ai Vision) is an integrated vision solution for robotics and industrial automation. Briefly, RAiV is a stereo camera with powerful onboard processors (CPU and NPU). The main purpose of RAiV is 3D vision and image processing. However, RAiV can also be used for Robotics, as it includes 6DoF IMU, hardware H.264 encoder and multiple communication interfaces (such as Gigabit Ethernet and CanBus). These features make RAiV the ideal choice for robotics and automation projects.

Software

As its hardware features, RAiV also has competitive software features. RAiV includes Tensorflow Lite, OpenCV4 and NumPy libraries in addition to its custom Python SDK. The complete software environment enables depth sensing, 3D measurement, object detection with 3D position, and spatial mapping.

Benefits

Ready For 3D

RAiV has everything you need to build 3d enabled robotics and automation applications. Our github repository has sample codes that helps you to utilize its both 3D vision features and robotics features such as IMU and H.264 hardware encoder.

Our Github Repository for Sample Codes

Don't Need External Hardware or Software

RAiV allows users to upload and run their own python codes. With the help of Python scripts and integrated processors, you can develop applications without external hardware and software.

Ease of Integration

RAiV has everything for a standalone application. However, if you still need connection, we have industry accepted connection options:

  • Communication Interfaces
    • Gigabit Ethernet
    • Wi-Fi 6
    • RS-485
    • CanBus
  • Signaling Interfaces
    • GPIO
    • PWM

Applications

In real world application, 3 dimensions play a vital role. Our stereo camera with integrated processors helps robots and machines see the world in 3D.

  • 3D Object Detection / Bin Picking: 3D helps robots to separate pile of objects in a bin.
  • 3D Measurement / Defect Detection: 3D helps quality control machines to measure the imperfections/variations on the metal/plastic cast parts.
  • Autonomous Navigation: 3D and integrated IMU of RAiV, helps robots to navigate and map their environment.
