QUAN Sees Huge Market Potential in PIAP's Oil Spill Cleanup Bots
The fascinating mosquito-like function of these cleanup robots has the potential to completely revolutionize the way oil spills are handled all over the world.
HOUSTON--Emerging robotics company Quantum International Corp. (OTCBB: QUAN) sees major market potential in a new oil-spill cleanup robot designed by Poland's Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements (PIAP).
The mosquito-like robots are designed to swarm offshore oil spills, land on a spill, and vacuum up the oil into a floating, detachable tank that can be retrieved by emergency response vessels. It's a concept that Quantum believes could have incredible implications for the drilling and transport of petroleum in the trillion-dollar global energy industry.
"PIAP recreates the simplicity of nature in its robotics designs in order to create automatons that are more efficient and independent than anything we've seen before," said Quantum CEO Robert Federowicz. "The fascinating mosquito-like function of these cleanup robots has the potential to completely revolutionize the way oil spills are handled all over the world. The market potential here is enormous, and we look forward to the possibility of helping PIAP develop and market these incredible machines."
The cleanup robot design is only the latest in a string of robotics innovations that PIAP is considering for commercialization. PIAP is also working on revolutionary new robotics tools for anti-terrorism applications and many other designs. Quantum is currently conducting due diligence toward a definitive agreement with the prestigious institution.
Quantum is focused on aggressive growth as it competes alongside robotics companies including iRobot Corporation (NASDAQ: IRBT), Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (NYSE: HMC), AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) and, potentially soon, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL).

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
