QUAN: The iPad Era of Robotics Has Arrived
A new wave of robotics taking advantage of the iPad's ease of use and processing power is coming, and Quantum is well-positioned to help bring these innovations to market.
HOUSTON, Aug 01, 2012-- Quantum International Corp. QUAN +0.05% believes that the era of iPad robots is now underway, and the emerging robotics company is searching for partnering opportunities to capitalize on this explosive new trend.
"By ushering in a new generation of tablet computers, Apple AAPL -0.03% has given robot designers and application developers the ability to collaborate in the pursuit of practical, affordable mobile robotic solutions," said Quantum CEO Robert Federowicz. "A new wave of robotics taking advantage of the iPad's ease of use and processing power is coming, and Quantum is well-positioned to help bring these innovations to market."
A leader in this new wave of robotics is iRobot's Ava Mobile Robotics Platform. When docked with an iPad, the platform is capable of autonomous navigation and can be programmed using the iPad's easy-to-use controls. This revolutionary functionality has nearly limitless applications for businesses, residences and institutions, and programs can be sold using Apple's App Store.
"iRobot's Ava platform is exactly the kind of innovation that we want to help commercialize," Federowicz said. "We're targeting hardware and applications developers in the early stages of commercialization that we can help to bring their products to a global market."
Quantum is already working with some of the world's top robotics innovators to produce a new generation of robots for everyday use. The company is currently performing due diligence toward a definitive agreement with the Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements (PIAP) in Warsaw, Poland.
Quantum is focused on aggressive growth as it competes alongside robotics companies including Honda Motor Co., Ltd. HMC -0.23% , AeroVironment, Inc. AVAV -1.06% and Intuitive Surgical, Inc. ISRG +0.01% .

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.
