New daily news blog examines fast-growing global robotics industry
The Business of Robotics provides readers with unique insights into the global business of robotics, delivering news, opinions and features prepared by a staff of editors and outside contributors.
EDINA, Minn., June 19, 2013 - The Business of Robotics, a daily news blog focused on the global robotics industry, officially announced its launch today. The publication's website is located at thebusinessofrobotics.com.
The Business of Robotics provides readers with unique insights into the global business of robotics, delivering news, opinions and features prepared by a staff of editors and outside contributors. ReconRobotics is providing financial support for the site's launch, but The Business of Robotics is a separate, editorially independent entity that will provide an unbiased view of industry happenings. The blog provides authoritative journalistic content presented in an easy-to-read and conversational style. Because of its global focus, the site's translation tool makes it available in 70 different languages.
Editorial content will be directed by Mike Davin, an experienced journalist who has been working on business publications since 2008. He will be assisted by managing editor Ian Bignall, who is based in New York.
"This is a special time for robotics. Processing power, sensors, AI, venture capital, Kickstarter - everything is coming together at once to create an explosion in this industry," Davin said. "At The Business of Robotics, we want to help businesses navigate this chaotic and exciting period. There's no doubt this industry is growing quickly, but we want to facilitate the conversations and connections that will help it grow intelligently."

Featured Product
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.
