Robots are capable of performing a wide variety of tasks that are difficult or dangerous for humans to perform. To intelligently and accurately perform these tasks, they require mobility and the aptitude to explore, understand and function within various environments. For a robot to work autonomously, or problem-solve with human assistance, it requires sensor data to understand the human world and the ability to process the data and respond in a timely manner. The difficulty is that for certain applications, a robot needs to combine both human and machine vision capabilities. While performing independent tasks, machine vision suffices, but when functioning in partnership with a human operator, human vision capabilities are needed, hence, the need for a next generation vision system.
“Robots have incredible potential to expand human capabilities and performance in the real world,” says Nicholas Nadeau, CTO of Halodi Robotics. “Immervision is able to help our EVE service robots create even greater value, by allowing human operators, via a virtual reality (VR) headset, to respond with human intuition capabilities to the anomalies that may arise as robots interact with their dynamic environment.”
Immervision’s next-gen vision system enables machines with both visual systems, for multiple sensors and wiring. Robots can now navigate within hospitals or dangerous workplaces, and the vision system can be customized to the environment and specific tasks. The vision system will enable Halodi Robotics robots to better perceive their environment, collect better quality vision data for AI/ML pipelines, as well as providing an immersive VR experience to the operator of the robots.
“Halodi Robotics approached us when searching for a fast, responsive, and immersive visual system capable of delivering wide-angle visual data simultaneously to both machine and humans,” explains Patrice Roulet Fontani, VP of Technology at Immervision. “Increased responsive speed starts with a high-quality wide-angle lens and with our patented technology and AI algorithms, we are the natural choice to optimize the performance and situational awareness across Halodi Robotics entire vision pipeline.”
Immervision has spent over 20 years adding vision to machines. The company’s vision solutions are deployed into several markets, such as automotive, drones and consumer devices, to ensure whether a robot is picking up an object or performing a specific task, they have optimized hand-eye co-ordination. Immervision’s dewarping algorithm enhances its dual next-gen vision solution, ensuring correct proportions are maintained for the entire image and real-time video for both human and machine vision.
Halodi Robotics already has multiple enterprise customer pilot programs underway in Europe and the U.S. for security, retail and logistics applications, with broader deployment planned for later this year.

"Det meste af vores arbejde udfører vi for datterselskaber af multinationale virksomheder, der opererer i Argentina, hvor de regulatoriske rammer kræver dømmekraft – ikke kun compliance," udtalte Darío H. Díaz, managing partner hos Fidem Partners. "Samarbejdet med Andersen Global giver vores kl
Blue Matter Launches Behavioral Science Center of Excellence to Decode and Predict Health Care Decisions in a Rapidly Evolving Biopharma Landscape30.9.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
Blue Matter today announced the launch of its Behavioral Science Center of Excellence (BeSci CoE), a specialized capability within the Blue Matter Insights primary market research team. The CoE applies behavioral science as a strategic lens to decode the “why” behind the decisions made by healthcare professionals, patients, care partners, and other stakeholders. Biopharma decisions hinge on knowing why customers do what they do. Traditional research does a good job of capturing what stakeholders say but often misses the unconscious drivers, biases, emotions, and contexts that shape behavior. The result is an incomplete picture in the moments where clarity matters most, including when developing positioning strategies, planning product launches, and making major lifecycle decisions. "You don't need a survey to tell you that physicians see efficacy as the most important treatment decision driver," said Andrew Pilecki, Ph.D., Senior Market Research Director at Blue Matter. "What our clien
Blackfuel Emerges From Stealth with More Than $250 Million in Contracted Revenue to Build a Global AI Token Grid30.9.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press release
First deployment scheduled to enter service in 2026, combining industrial-scale infrastructure, proprietary inference software and long-term customer commitments.

Visioneering Technologies' New Contact Lens Trial Shows Landmark Results in Slowing Children's Nearsightedness30.9.2026 14:59:00 CEST | Press release
Completed three-year PROTECT randomized controlled trial finds NaturalVue Multifocal 1 Day contact lens slowed myopia progression by 1.06 diopters and eye elongation by 0.58 mm at 36 months.1,2 Visioneering Technologies, Inc. (VTI), a medical device company that designs and markets specialty contact lenses, will announce completed three-year results from PROTECT, a prospective, double-masked, multinational randomized controlled trial evaluating the company's NaturalVue® (etafilcon A) Multifocal 1 Day Contact Lens for slowing the progression of myopia, or nearsightedness, in children. Ashley Tuan, OD, MS, PhD, VTI's Chief Medical Officer, will present the full findings at the American Academy of Optometry's annual meeting in Anaheim. Myopia develops when a child's eye grows too long, causing distant objects to appear blurry, and it typically worsens through childhood. Faster progression is associated with a higher lifelong risk of more serious eye conditions, including retinal detachmen
