Mechatronics engineering students from the University of Waterloo in Canada have developed a 2.5D vision method to improve the precision of picking parts with varying heights. The method involves using a 2D camera integrated with a robot to capture the exact position of objects. By applying a scatterplot to the calibration routine, the algorithm developed by the students compensates for height changes on the parts. This 2.5D vision method can be applied to any application where a 2D camera needs to be integrated with a robot, providing higher reliability and flexibility. [Extracted from the article]

TTTech Industrial, a developer of industrial automation solutions, has achieved the IEC 62443-4-1 certification for cybersecurity. This certification ensures the security of TTTech Industrial's IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) related technologies. The certification was awarded by TÜV Austria, an international testing and certification company. TTTech Industrial's Nerve IIoT platform, a cloud-managed edge computing solution, already includes many cybersecurity features and will be certified according to the IEC 62443-4-2 substandard in 2024. This certification is important as it helps prevent disruptions to production and compromises to intellectual property, safety, and supply chains. The European Union is also developing regulations and standards to enhance cybersecurity, such as the NIS2 Directive and the Cyber Resilience Act. [Extracted from the article]
