1. Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) Surround Vision and Obstacle Avoidance
Integration of the Lensation BF5M19622C into the sensor pods of warehouse navigation robots to provide panoramic spatial awareness and near-field collision avoidance.
Problem SolvedAMRs operating in dynamic factory environments often suffer from blind spots. Relying on multiple narrow-field cameras increases computational overhead and physical footprint. This application solves the blind-spot problem by providing continuous, wide-area environmental mapping using fewer optical nodes.

2. Internal Pipe and Vessel Crawler Inspection Systems
Using the lens on forward-facing robotic inspection crawlers to monitor the structural integrity, welds, and corrosion of large-diameter industrial pipelines and shallow tanks.
Problem SolvedTraditional pipeline inspection requires mechanically articulating (pan-tilt) camera heads to view both the pipe walls and the path ahead, which are prone to mechanical failure in confined spaces. This application eliminates moving parts by capturing the entire pipe circumference in a single static frame.

3. Low-Clearance Overhead Web and Conveyor Quality Control
Deployment of the fisheye lens in overhead machine vision arrays to perform defect detection and color verification on wide continuous materials (e.g., textiles, sheet metal) moving along conveyor belts.
Problem SolvedMonitoring wide web materials typically requires high mounting clearances or multi-camera arrays that demand complex image-stitching algorithms. This application solves the clearance constraints by allowing a single camera mounted very close to the belt to capture the entire width of the material.
