| Evolution Robotics Supports Next Generation of WowWee Humanoids  Evolution Robotics has announced a strategic alliance with WowWee Robotics to integrate Evolution's technologies for vision and navigation into the next generation of WowWee products. WowWee's award-winning Roboraptor and Robosapien are among the best-selling robots on the market today. Evolution Robotics works with consumer brands to make their robots smarter using its solutions in vision and autonomous navigation. WowWee will incorporate two of Evolution's unique technologies in their line of products: ViPR and Northstar.ViPR (Visual Pattern Recognition) is the "gold standard" in visual recognition technology, and provides reliable and fast recognition of patterns, objects, and locations in realistic environments. Northstar, known as "Indoor GPS", is a solution for position-awareness for consumer robots, and enables robots to navigate autonomously and intelligently. Both of these technologies will be used by WowWee as they continue to create robotic companions and entertainment products. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
