Products

three outdoor security cameras on a pole
Acadia® ILS-6000™ Video Stabilizers

The Acadia ILS-6000 hardware series of video stabilizers eliminates camera motion artifacts and delivers clear, actionable information. These products are designed to meet the challenges of inclement weather, unstable vehicle motion, and long-range viewing in remote or unprotected installations.

Acadia® II Embedded Video Processors

Acadia® II is a real-time, low-power, integrated video processor that delivers enhanced perception and situational awareness. It supports embedded surveillance and portable processing needs for weapon-mounted sights, handheld range and target finders, unmanned air or ground platforms, and more.

Software

Karto software
Karto™ Software for Robots on the Move

Decades of leading-edge SRI robotics and artificial intelligence research has produced Karto™—robust software for use in robotic navigation, mapping, and exploration.

Technologies for License

Taurus Dexterous Robot

SRI is developing Taurus, a potentially life-saving telemanipulation tool for military and domestic bomb squads to defuse vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs). Following field trials, Taurus enters commercial markets in 2012.

demonstration of artificial muscle
Electroactive Polymer “Artificial Muscle”

SRI has patented a thin, flexible, smart material dubbed “artificial muscle” because it behaves much like a human muscle. Artificial muscle, available for license from SRI for a variety of application areas, uses a breakthrough technology called electroactive polymers.

electroadhesion demonstrated with a wall-climbing robot
Electroadhesion

SRI’s breakthrough electroadhesion technology, available for license, allows electrically controlled reversible adhesion
 to most surfaces.

electroadhesive surface-climbing robot
Electroadhesive Surface-Climbing Robots

SRI offers licenseable surface- and wall-climbing robot prototypes for surveillance, inspection, and sensor placement applications.

magnetic encoding equipment
Magnetic Encoding Technology

Until recently, there has not been a reliable, accurate, and inexpensive means to sense the motion and location of machine components such as hydraulic cylinders.
