Robotic devices have been a part of the home for a long time now. Cleaning aids like vacuum cleaners and related items have become as familiar as the standard vacuum.

In fact, we are likely to colloquially refer to a robot cleaner as a Roomba – regardless of brand – same as every vacuum cleaner is a Hoover. These simple devices are a part of many homes, and the technology has almost become outdated.

A clever system that can map a floor and avoid obstacles is child’s play. The 2015 BB8 droid is proof of that. There is, therefore, a desire but the bigger, better and smarter models. Recent advancements show how basic the Roomba is when looking for the best robotic servants.…

Irish Coastguard

Thermal imaging cameras have only developed in sophistication, with impressive and clear images and sharp results. The breath of the modern spectrum is vast – from near infrared at 0.7 to 1.3 microns, to mid-infrared at 1.3 to 3 microns and thermal infrared at 3 microns to over 30 microns.

The Irish coastguard has proudly used infrared since the 1980s and modern Forward-Looking Infrared or FLIR are an invaluable tool.

The first benefit of thermal imaging for the coast guard is simple – efficient search and rescue operations.…
