ChartaCloud Announces Humanoid Robotics 'Makerspace' for Local Libraries and STEM Education

Libraries Can Now Become More Vital to Communities By Providing Member Access to a Humanoid Robotics and STEM Curricula

ChartaCloud Technologies LLC ("ChartaCloud") today announced that it has introduced 'NAO Makerspace' for local libraries. NAO Makerspace is provided as a package which enables local libraries to have on premise access to an advanced humanoid robot. The package utilizes the robotic industrys leading humanoid robot, the NAO Robot from Aldebaran Robotics and the software for programming and development provided as a site license for libraries. The software site license allows multiple visiting library members access for programming and developmental projects using a library computer or their own computers and when ready, utilizing the robot on location in the library to test their developments.

"We have experienced firsthand the significant response community libraries experience when they enable members to have access to a true robotics system via a librarys ‘Makerspace. The ‘Makerspace' movement in libraries is re-vitalizing the relevancy of libraries for the new era of technologies and we are committed to being a collaborative partner in advancing this movement for the robotics discipline," said Lauryn Schimmel, managing director, ChartaCloud.
The company stated that it also provides support and reference materials that can be used to seek funding and or grants for libraries seeking to add a NAO Makerspace to their local library. STEM curricula for teachers and students are also available.
"Local libraries can now serve as a powerfully collaborative community resource for local schools whereby large numbers of students, and even adults, can now have access to a true robotics experience. They can learn and explore the rapidly increasing requirement for robotics knowledge as part of their STEM learning curriculum or after school science projects. Having a robotics program locally available is an opportunity for students to become familiar with and adept at robotics. We all know that robotics is clearly going to be a significant dimension of our future economy and will have a definitive impact upon their careers," Schimmel concluded.

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances

IDS Imaging Development Systems offers a range of models, from a webcam-like camera in industrial quality to a tiny autofocus camera that weighs just12 grams. The 13 MP autofocus camera uEye XC closes the market gap between industrial cameras and webcams. Setting up and operating only requires a cable connection. After that, the autofocus camera immediately delivers high-resolution, detailed images and videos. With the optionally available, quickly exchangeable macro lens, users can easily shorten the minimum object distance of the camera. This makes it also suitable for close-up applications. Focus from a distance of just 10 cm. The uEye XS is even more compact and fits into almost any application with its size of just 26.4 x 23 x 21.7 mm. Thanks to its autofocus and 5 MP CMOS sensor, it delivers consistently sharp images and videos from a distance of just 10 cm. When it comes to image quality, natural color reproduction and harmonious contrast are also decisive factors. IDS has therefore equipped the uEye XS with many other practical automatic features familiar from consumer technology. This includes white balance, exposure and gain. As a result, it delivers the best possible result in every situation.
