Infineon Introduces Advanced Hybrid ToF (hToF) Technology to Empower the Next Generation of Intelligent Robots

Views : 43
Update time : 2024-02-20 09:08:45
        Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY), a global semiconductor leader in power systems and the Internet of Things, in collaboration with device manufacturer Omax Microelectronics and ToF (same hereinafter) technology specialist pmdtechnologies, has developed a new high-resolution camera solution that enables a new generation of smart consumer robots with enhanced depth sensing and 3D scene understanding. This new hybrid ToF solution combines two depth sensing concepts and helps to significantly reduce the maintenance effort and cost of intelligent robots.
 
 
        Infineon's REAL3™ flexible ToF imager technology integrates established high-resolution iToF flood lighting and dToF long-range point source lighting into a single hybrid ToF camera. For years, this high-resolution technology has been used to see and bypass small objects in the path of robotic motion. Now, by adding precise long-range spot data, it is also possible to create an accurate 3D map of the surrounding area, enabling an intelligent path-planning experience that empowers a new generation of robotic vacuum cleaners. 
        This new solution replaces the top-mounted Laser Distance Detector (LDS) to reduce the height of the robotic vacuum cleaner by 20-30%, allowing the robot to get under furniture with less clearance from the floor to clean. With dimensions of only 31x16x8 mm, the Hybrid ToF camera requires less space, optimizing mapping and obstacle avoidance functions. The hybrid ToF replaces multiple sensors and eliminates the need for moving parts that wear out over time, reducing system costs and operating costs. 
        The solution is easy to deploy and provides a customer-friendly experience. Versatile and robust, this compact hybrid ToF solution is well suited to meet the growing demand for mobile consumer robotic devices in a wide range of industries such as robotic vacuum cleaners, commercial robots, air purifiers, dimensional measurement and more. 
        Andreas Kopetz, Vice President of the Environmental Sensing product line at Infineon Technologies, said: "Infineon's collaboration with Surpass Technology and Omax Microelectronics is a great example of how Infineon works with partners to promote technological innovation and digitalization. With a wide range of uses, our hybrid ToF solutions address the fast growing consumer robotics market, enabling customers to design unique robots and reduce system cost and complexity by replacing multiple cameras with one." 
        Xiao Detang, General Manager of JiangXi Omaxe Microelectronics Co., Ltd. said, "Infineon and Surpass Technology's Hybrid ToF utilizes an innovative and patented architecture paired with a dual illumination system. For manufacturers like Omaxe Microelectronics, this solution offers excellent advantages such as small size, low power consumption and reduced overall application cost. This unique optical design solution avoids multipath issues and enables precise positioning combined with obstacle avoidance functionality, and we are excited to use it to further enhance the competitiveness of our hybrid ToF camera products."
