Summary

Willow Garage wanted to use an Ethernet-based camera in their new PR2 robot platform’s forearm, but none sufficiently small could be found. MindTribe worked with their mechanical and optical engineers to create a tiny camera that was so successful it was deployed in numerous other sites in the PR2.

Key Roles

  • electrical engineering
  • full PCBA design and fabrication
  • FPGA design with softcore processor
  • FPGA-embedded firmware engineering

Product

A tiny Ethernet camera for use in an open source robot.
