The eyes of the future Mars robot

After six years of research and development, the stereoscopic vision systems - the eyes of the future Mars robot- have been realised by Magellium (Toulouse) in collaboration with the laboratory for robotics of the CNES (National Space Research Centre, France). Cameras, lenses and filters have been supplied by STEMMER IMAGING in order to develop and validate the 3D perception system, which is supposed to be installed on the future European robot by 2018.
