HSINCHU, Taiwan - Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), a Taiwanese high-tech applied research institutions, today announced it will demonstrate two cutting-edge technologies at CES 2017: Intelligent Vision System for Companion Robots and ICT Solution for Drones.
ITRI’s Intelligent Vision System enables robots and other machines to interpret the visual world, act on visual information, and learn from experience. The Intelligent Vision System can be applied to consumer and industrial requirements and delivers the following technology breakthroughs: Intelligent Vision Technology and Developmental Learning Position Detection for perception of objects; Smart Grip Technology for interaction with objects based on perception; Deep learning.
ITRI’s ICT Solution for Drones delivers world-leading ability to control more than one LTE-connected drone from one fleet management system; to integrate the operation of multiple drones; and unlimited range even across continents via LTE, a vast improvement over current remote control ranges of under seven kilometers within visual line-of-sight. Its potential applications include aerial photography; security patrol; solar panel, wind turbine, and power line inspection; landslide inspection; and transport.
ITRI’s ICT Solution for Drones includes three components: Remotely-Operated Autonomous Drone (ROAD); Tribrid Real-Time Streaming for Drone; Super Range.
"We are looking forward to demonstrating at CES 2017 two of our leading technologies in vision systems and drones, which are important trends in consumer and industrial markets," said Dr. Ming-Jer Kao, Deputy General Director of ITRI’s Electronic and Optoelectronic System Research Laboratories.
"ITRI’s Intelligent Vision System has many potential applications for companion robots that can assist seniors, families and individuals, while our ICT Solution for Drones is a promising drone fleet management system, which can operate across continents and off-grid for extended periods.”
Other innovations that ITRI will exhibit at CES 2017 include Portable Sanitizer, which can sterilize cutlery and kill germs in 90 seconds with UVC LED light; Intelligent Lighting System that is based on the IPv6 standard to provide bespoke lighting solutions such as VLC indoor positioning services and human-centric lighting; itri-patch, a smart sensor that can detect when a person falls or wanders off and connect to an alert system; USBsync, a portable cloud storage and sharing device that allows one-to-many synchronous file transfers.
