About Digital Designs and Systems, Inc.
Digital Designs and Systems, Inc. (dIDEAS) was established in 1995 by
C. Barnhart, its President and Chief Executive Officer. Its primary
area of business is the design and manufacture of low cost, low
wattage, miniature color computer vision systems for use in mobile
robotics, portable instrumentation, academic research, and inclusion
into other equipment.
dIDEAS first product, the CVM, was inspired by DARPA funded research
done by Horzwill and Barnhart then at the Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory located at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Since
then, two new vision systems have been developed and the product line
has expended to include the processor brains and controllers for
several robot research projects world wide. Its customers are known
to be from the US, Japan, Canada, and Korea. Its products are used in
a variety of areas which include universities, national laboratories,
private R&D institutions, museums and exhibitions, manufacturing
companies, and by individuals.
dIDEAS long term objective is to continue to expand the use of and
state-of-the-art in low cost, miniature computer vision systems. To
this end, it efforts are focused in the following areas:
- Expansion of its product line to produce lower cost and
application specific systems.
- Continued integration of the newest semiconductor devices into
its systems resulting in faster processing, greater miniaturization,
lower power, and increased system flexibility.
- Research, development, and publication of vision applications
though experimentation with active vision, visually guided robotics
and flying vehicles.
- Integration of artificial intelligence into its systems to create
intelligent vision sensors with visual awareness.
