EZ Robotics新品发布，消费机器人市场将掀起轩然大波
EZ Robotics new release, the consumer robotics market will set off an uproar
2015-09-22 TBOT EZRobotics
Follow us believe that the public number of friends to this day the long-awaited, and nothing can be more exciting than that not unveiled a new product it? Today we will live up to expectations.
The design from the beginning of March this year, today released the robot, in the end what kind of it? Small as you gradually revealed.
Before TBot appear, you may not know how long you can often accompanied by their parents in the next; TBot appear before, no matter if you want to accompany the child around, but can not, because of work and family is often difficult to co-existence, the more so the more outstanding. Once you have TBot, everything will change, you may be able to cross it, you can not cross the temporal and spatial distance.
EZ Robotics introduced the first robot named TBot, 1.2 meters tall and weighing 15kg, modular design and the overall robot brain-based iOS system, so TBot more playable than the average robot, versatility and scalability. IOS-based platform developed remote video intercom system, so you can easily chat with your family anytime, anywhere, so that accompany distance; 7x24 hour as a family member at home, TBot also through its powerful intelligent voice interaction App, broadcast news for you, play music, check the weather, human-computer chat is a great intelligent assistant.
TBot streamlined body gentle and graceful curve, contour lines Ling Li in another sleek, black and white colors and ice blue lights adorn it exude elegance glamorous sense of technology; but as attentive service robots, but people very Meng, how to push also push not fall oh, two-wheeled self-balancing technology Which is stronger? ! In the current field of service robots almost too hot foam, TBot it looks definitely be delightful, the beauties.
Not only is the appearance, the height is also quite particular about. Because TBot mainly for home users, from eight feet tall brawny, to less than one meter high and young children, are likely to be TBot interactive object, so we paid great attention to design versatility. And TBot two meters tall, coupled in the horizontal direction can freely rotate and tilt the head, no matter how much the user height, TBot head can find the most suitable angle, allowing users to get the best interactive experience and psychological acceptance .
TBot body using a modular design, the "brain", "head", "body" configuration, each module can be customized and replaced. This scalability allows the robot can be applied to different scenarios.
* Brain: the head is fixed in TBot iPad or iPad Mini;
* Head: The biggest highlight is the use of a separate head can be taken down, and horizontal and tilt two rotational degrees of freedom;
* Body: shape not only the United States, the future can be easily extended arm, projectors and other useful features;
* Landing gear: the most handsome and most body parts can provide a sense of security;
* Two-wheeled self-balancing chassis: Wheel diameter large by ability, hubless design science and technology lifestyle security is good;
* Charging base: streamlined appearance, supports automatic charging.
We believe TBot will become a great family to accompany the robot and the 7x24-hour home intelligent assistant, in addition, TBot also be used for remote offices, factory visits, distance education, telemedicine, banking and other operating room services, museums remote visit, even meals and other scenes, as we hoping as: TBot see the world on your behalf!
EZ Robotics team and that something TBot
EZ Robotics was founded in late 2014, is a focus on the development of cutting-edge technology company serving robot, team members from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Tencent, Siemens, Lei Feng network, solid high-tech, the company CEO Zhang Tao, and other core team members have long 10 years of robot research and development or related experience, we believe that in the near future robots will spread to every home.
EZ Robotics Development TBot mind, because our team members like most people, are often unable to meet with their parents or children, so we wanted to grinding out a self-love, but also for the benefit of everyone's warm robots. In the long road home robot or service robot, TBot but we have taken a small step, EZ Robotics next generation of robots will have a major breakthrough in the mechanical structure, control and intelligence and other areas, we with you the same expectations.
Finally, we are not really looking forward to our TBot it? October 11, we will be held in Shenzhen new experience, more news, please note the official website and this public number!
EZ Robotics, Easy Life!

VOL. 5, NO. 15 A NEWSLETTER FROM THE EMBEDDED VISION ALLIANCE Late August 2015
IN THIS EDITION To view this newsletter online, please click here
- New Content from the Embedded Vision Summit and Alliance Member Meeting
- Embedded Lucas-Kanade Tracking: Theory and Implementation
- Has Neural Network Processors' Time Come?
- Embedded Vision Community Conversations
- Embedded Vision in the News
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear Colleague,
The Alliance continues to publish videos of great presentations from May's Embedded Vision Summit. Make sure you check out, for example, the highly rated keynote "Enabling Ubiquitous Visual Intelligence Through Deep Learning," by Dr. Ren Wu, formerly distinguished scientist at Baidu's Institute of Deep Learning (IDL). Dr. Wu shares an insider's perspective on the practical use of neural networks for vision.
In "Navigating the Vision API Jungle: Which API Should You Use and Why?", Neil Trevett, President of the Khronos Group, maps the landscape of APIs for vision software development. Long-time Alliance collaborator Gary Bradski, President of the OpenCV Foundation, provides an insider's perspective on the new version of OpenCV and how vision developers can utilize it in his presentation, "The OpenCV Open Source Computer Vision Library: Latest Developments." Also make sure to take a look at "Harman's Augmented Navigation Platform: The Convergence of ADAS and Navigation" from that company's Vice President of Technology Strategy, Alon Atsmon.
Roberto Mijat, Visual Computing Marketing Manager at ARM, explores when it makes sense to utilize a graphics core as a coprocessor in his presentation, "Understanding the Role of Integrated GPUs in Vision Applications." And echoing Dr. Wu's neural network focus, Jeff Gehlhaar, Vice President of Technology at Qualcomm, used his presentation "Deep-learning-based Visual Perception in Mobile and Embedded Devices: Opportunities and Challenges" to discuss the benefits, challenges and solutions for implementing neural networks in mobile and embedded devices. And the insights continued the next day at the quarterly Alliance Member Meeting: in "Combining Vision, Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing to Answer Everyday Questions," Faris Alqadah, CEO and Co-Founder of QM Scientific, explains how his firm is simplifying shopping for consumers by extracting and organizing product information from many data sources.
While you're on the Alliance website, make sure to check out all the other great content recently published there.

FEATURED VIDEOS "Embedded Lucas-Kanade Tracking: How It Works, How to Implement It, and How to Use It," a Presentation from Goksel Dedeoglu of Perceptonic
Goksel Dedeoglu, Ph.D., Founder and Lab Director of PercepTonic, presents the "Embedded Lucas-Kanade Tracking: How It Works, How to Implement It, and How to Use It" tutorial at the May 2014 Embedded Vision Summit. This tutorial is intended for technical audiences interested in learning about the Lucas-Kanade (LK) tracker, also known as the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) tracker. Invented in the early 80s, this method has been widely used to estimate pixel motion between two consecutive frames. Dedeoglu presents how the LK tracker works and discuss its advantages, limitations, and how to make it more robust and useful. Using DSP-optimized functions from TI's Vision Library (VLIB), he also shows how to detect feature points in real-time and track them from one frame to the next using the LK algorithm. He demonstrates this on Texas Instruments' C6678 Keystone DSP, where he detects and tracks thousands of Harris corner features in 1080p HD resolution video.
Introduction to the Embedded Vision Opportunity and the Embedded Vision Alliance Community
Jeff Bier, Founder of the Embedded Vision Alliance and President and Co-Founder of BDTI, presents the introductory remarks at the May 2015 Embedded Vision Summit. Jeff provides an overview of the embedded vision market opportunity, challenges, solutions and trends. He also introduces the Embedded Vision Alliance and the resources it offers for both product creators and potential members, and reviews the event agenda and other logistics.FEATURED ARTICLES Neural Network Processors: Has Their Time Come?
Lately, neural network algorithms have been gaining prominence in computer vision and other fields where there's a need to extract insights based on ambiguous data. Classical computer vision algorithms typically attempt to identify objects by first detecting small features, then finding collections of these small features to identify larger features, and then reasoning about these larger features to deduce the presence and location of an object of interest (such as a face). These approaches can work well when the objects of interest are fairly uniform and the imaging conditions are favorable, but they often struggle when conditions are more challenging. An alternative approach, convolutional neural networks ("CNNs"), massively parallel algorithms made up of layers computation nodes, have been showing impressive results on these more challenging problems.
