A sensing and computing system and method for capturing images and data regarding an object and calculating one or more parameters regarding the object using an internal, integrated CPU/GPU. The system comprises an imaging system, including a depth imaging system, color camera, and light source, that capture images of the object and sends data or signals relating to the images to the CPU/GPU, which performs calculations based on those signals/data according to pre-programmed algorithms to determine the parameters. The CPU/GPU and imaging system are contained within a protective housing. The CPU/GPU transmits information regarding the parameters, rather than raw data/signals, to one or more external devices to perform tasks in an industrial environment related to the object imaged.

System and method for sensing and computing of perceptual data in industrial environments

An automated truck unloader for unloading/unpacking product, such as boxes or cases, from trailers and containers is disclosed. In one embodiment, a mobile base structure provides a support framework for a drive subassembly, conveyance subassembly, an industrial robot, a distance measurement subassembly, and a control subassembly. Under the operation of the control subassembly, an industrial robot having a suction cup-based gripper arm selectively removes boxes from the trailer and places the boxes on a powered transportation path. The control subassembly coordinates the selective articulated movement of the industrial robot and the activation of the drive subassembly based upon a perception-based robotic manipulation system.

Perception-based robotic manipulation system and method for automated truck unloader that unloads/unpacks product from trailers and containers

An apparatus, system, and method for a mobile, low-cost headset for 3D point of gaze estimation. A point of gaze apparatus may include an eye tracking camera configured to track the movements of a user's eye and a scene camera configured to create a three-dimensional image and a two-dimensional image in the direction of the user's gaze. The point of gaze apparatus may include an image processing module configured to identify a point of gaze of the user and identify an object located at the user's point of gaze by using information from the eye tracking camera and the scene camera.
