developing a variety of the new prototype's subsystems. As with our predecessor, Transitions Research Corporation/HelpMate Robotics, Inc., we are planning to market some of these systems to robotics researchers.

The subsystem currently under development and hopefully available later this year is the low-cost, high-performance stereo vision system for the prototype home care robot.

The system will feature a high-performance, panning base (like rotating your neck), with dual servoed colour cameras. Each camera has independently, software-controlled pan and tilt each of their own, as well as powered and controlled focus and zoom. The cameras use either 12VDC or standard AC electric supply and have both composite and S-video (component) video outputs. There are also wireless and ethernet/internet connectable cameras becoming available for stand-alone operation.

Updates on the "ForEyes"(tm) stereo vision system will appear in this section. For details, please feel free to Email, call or write using information on Contact Us page.
