In this episode of Focus On Vision, we cover underwater digital twins, AI-powered vision components, and a fiber aser engraver.

  • A team led by researchers at the National University of Defense Technology in China has developed a light perception-based underwater digital twin soft robotic hand interactive control system that can navigate oceans’ complex environment.
  • SiteVue AI has secured $7.5 million in seed funding, which will allow the company to ultimately provide AI-powered vision components to the frontlines for manufacturing, food processing, and construction.
  • The G-Pro Vision Split MOPA Fiber Laser Engraver, designed for applications including professional metal marking and high-speed engraving, and for easy integration into existing production environments, brings together a 16-megapixel HD camera and MOPA fiber laser technology.
