The RobotEye RE01 OEM is an implementation of our RobotEye technology designed to provide a general purpose high performance two axis optical pointing capability for use in OEM and prototype systems. As with all RobotEye systems, the sensor or source is able to remain completely stationary while the signal is directed about two axes. The RE01 OEM optical path components can be specified, including from our standard range of mirror surfaces at build time to work with your chosen sensor or source.

The unprecedented motion bandwidth of the RobotEye RE01 OEM allows the following types of behaviours to be achieved with ease.

• Pre-programmed Paths - The RE01 OEM can accurately follow predefined paths with extremely high accelerations up to 50,000°/s² and velocities up to 10,000°/s delivering unparalleled path following capabilities to a wide range of sensors and sources. Where repeated precision repeated path following about two axes with your sensor or source is important to your application the RE01 OEM provides an ideal solution.
• Dynamically Generated Paths - Just as with predefined paths the RE01 OEM is able to follow dynamically generated paths with the same unparalleled accuracy, acceleration and velocity as in the pre-programmed case and with the same flexibility to use the sensor our source of your choice. The generated paths can be completely arbitrary within the field of regard of the RE01 OEM. These paths are realised simply by streaming desired aperture angles to the relevant function in our RobotEye RE Lib C++ library. A good example of this behaviour is our inertially slaved RE01 option which provides a ready made off the shelf implementation where the RE01 OEM aperture is slaved to the inertial sensor connected to the system.
• Dynamic or Structured Pointing - The ability of the RobotEye RE01 OEM to move rapidly and accurately between points with extremely high acceleration and slew speed provides unprecedented capability in acquiring sensor data from, or pointing a source at, points of interest within the field of regard of the RE01 OEM. Whether a structured grid of measurements is required or completely arbitrary points are being defined by some input to the system the RE01 OEM can acquire each designated point dwell for the required amount of time and move to the next point with unparalleled speed.
• Velocity Controlled Scanning - By setting the RE01 OEM to velocity mode the full field of the system can be scanned at a wide range of rates in both azimuth and elevation. Applications of this mode include: scanning the environment surrounding a system for a given signal; mapping the environment surrounding the system in terms of a given sensor's band of sensitivity; or even illuminating the surrounding environment in a controlled way. The RE01 OEM velocity mode offers full control to be able to achieve these behaviours as required by the application.

Implementation of all of these behaviours is straightforward using the RobotEye RE Lib C++ library supplied standard with the RobotEye RE01 OEM Optical Pointing System allowing quick and easy integration into the target system.
