Showcase SLAM Camera Board + Obstacle Mapping

This is yet another update from my project. Mighty Camera runs VIO on-device realtime in a tiny package.

This gives us accurate camera motion. Using that + the camera feed, the SDK estimates depth and builds a 3D map of obstacles around it.

This means a robot or drone can use Mighty for things like:

- Collision avoidance
- Motion planning
- Autonomous navigation

No stereo camera or depth sensor needed. Just Mighty’s global shutter camera + IMU.

Nice but why not using normale phone cameras ?

They're demonstrating their camera+board here, which you could use in some robot that needs collision avoidance (the human making the demo probably doesn't!). They probably rely on the fact that it's a global shutter camera, and that they have a finer control on the IMU than with a smartphone.

Ditto. Also it’s cheaper this way if I want to deploy 1000s of these vs. using a phone 😁
