UBTECH Partners with Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute Summer Scholars to Grow the Robotics Innovators of Tomorrow
Three-Day Event Offers Learning, Collaboration, and Robot Programming Challenge
UBTECH Robotics
WHAT:
UBTECH Robotics, a global leader in intelligent humanoid robotics and AI technologies, and Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Institute Summer Scholars (RISS) program will invite about 35 RISS scholars to join a three-day summer workshop where they will learn about, build, and code Yanshee, a first-of-its-kind, open-source, humanoid robot. Yanshee combines an advanced AI interface, programmable Raspberry Pi card, and a host of sensors and functionality to create the ultimate platform for educators, students, and robot enthusiasts to learn about, research, experiment, and engage with robotics.
WHY:
Now in its third year, the workshop includes lectures on programming with the Robot Operating System (ROS), demos of UBTECH's service robots including Walker and Cruzr, and a robot programming challenge that culminates in a public demonstration of students' robot innovations.
WHEN:
July 17-19, 2019. The public demonstration is 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. on Friday, July 19.
WHERE:
Newell Simon Hall
The Robotics Institute
Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, PA 15213
WHO:
News media, engineers, educators, and anyone interested in robotics is invited to attend the public demonstration on Friday, July 19.

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.
