Challenging Ourselves to Make New
Technologies that Create a New Era
Evolution in automation. Omron continues to challenge traditional
ideas to create new and unique value for the market.
Omron sensing and control technologies determine what is necessary
from various information, transforming it into valuable information for
equipment control.
Real-Time Translation
Devices with embedded real-time translation
technology interpret and display written
characters for the user. Beyond simple
translation, we are working to incorporate
concierge technology that provides timely and
useful suggestions as well.
3D Signage
Signage that uses spatial projection comes alive, expressing
information in a way that can’t be done in two dimensions.
How would you use a 2D arrow on a signboard to tell a visitor
to turn around and go back up a flight of stairs? In three
dimensions, however, the message is clear and easy to see.
Signage made with light is much safer and more space efficient
than traditional signage, to boot. You can probably imagine
a number of creative ways spatial projection can be used in
showrooms, display windows, and maybe even in your
own home.
A robot that anticipates
human movement
The table tennis-playing robot
demonstrates a machine’s ability
to sense its surroundings and
make a correct decision. Using 3D
image processing, our robot friend
calculates movement and ball position
to return a shot easy for its opponent to
reach, keeping the volley going as long
as possible. Technology that anticipates
human movement and reacts properly
will play a core role in future industrial,
nursing, and in-home care settings.
The Table Tennis Robot that Plays With You, Not Against You
At CEATEC JAPAN 2014, we unveiled a table tennis-playing robot that had everyone talking. This robot was our way of showing the
world how Omron sensing and control technologies create a seamless partnership between human and machine.
