Bino3 Stereo Surveillance Robot
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 10 of March , 2009 at 5:24 am
When we posted about the robots feature in the Boston Globe’s Big Picture blog, the above picture caught my eye. It’s the Bino3 security robot, designed to provide remote automated surveillance in place of a security guard. Its most striking feature is of course its vision system, which includes two telephoto and two wide angle lenses, enabling it to record a 180 degree field of view and details simultaneously in stereo 3D. Bino3 navigates autonomously, and is able to follow specific directions by reading QR codes on the floor.
There aren’t many more details, but from the video, it sounds like Bino3 comes with some kind of warning siren, but the video cuts off before we get to see it deploy any weaponry.
