The Robot Report features DreamVu’s PAL & PAL Mini launches
DreamVu, a Philadelphia startup founded in 2017, announced its PAL and PAL Mini 3D vision systems. Both PAL and PAL Mini use only a single CMOS sensor and no moving parts. Both products provide visual intelligence that eliminates blind spots and combines full color video with precise depth mapping and detection in a single video stream. PAL provides 360° horizontal FOV with 110° vertical FOV at up to 9 MP with a usable depth range of 10m and no minimum depth distance. PAL Mini, DreamVu’s compact 3D vision system, provides 360° horizontal FOV with 80° vertical FOV at up to 4 megapixels and usable depth range of 5m . An entire 3D occupancy map can be generated from every frame. PAL & PAL Mini can enable AMRs to perform autonomous navigation, obstacle detection and avoidance, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and more. Bengaluru, India-based Robotics Automation and Design (RAAD) Systems recently selected the PAL system for its AMP series AMRs. PAL is currently available with a USB interface and can be purchased for $1,499. An Ethernet version with on-board ARM processor and GPU is in development with prototypes also currently available for purchase. PAL Mini is available with a USB interface and can be purchased for $999
