Cheap, extremely small and energy-efficient

New camera matrix delivers precise depth images for automated driving and industrial applications

It will not be bigger than a 1-cent piece: A new, ultra-compact and adaptive camera that delivers accurate depth information in real-time as well as images.

A new sensor offers a wide range of applications in the area of ​​automated driving or manual assembly processes. The system is developed in the project “DAKARA” – design and application of an ultra-compact, energy-efficient and reconfigurable camera matrix for spatial analysis. This project is funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

Five partners from industry and research are working together to realise it. Besides Partner Bosch Rexroth AG DFKI (department Innovative Factory Systems) will, together with the Living Lab SmartFactoryKL, be installing a manual assembly process for the workplace assistant. The camera matrix captures objects as well as the hands of the worker by means of the algorithms of the partner CanControls GmbH. The particular challenge is to clearly distinguish objects such as tools or workpieces from the operator’s hands. The depth information of the DAKARA camera is intended to make this separation easier and more precise.

Partners:

  • AMS Sensors Germany GmbH, Nürnberg (Konsortialführung)
  • Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz GmbH (DFKI), Kaiserslautern (Technische Konsortialführung)
  • ADASENS Automotive GmbH, Lindau
  • Bosch Rexroth AG, Stuttgart
  • CanControls, Aachen
