Actively involved in the SBIR arena since 2001, in 2018 the firm was acquired in a cash transaction by Teradyne (NYSE:TER). Energid Technologies Corporation provides engineering products and services for robotics, machine-vision, and simulation applications. The company's Actin software virtually eliminates the under-the-hood coding time other robotic control software requires, which reduces downtime and saves money. The software automatically reacts to a changing environment without the need for additional delicate programming and scripts. Energid works with their customers in order to design, build, and control an advanced robotic system tailored specifically to their needs and provide complete support, including mechanism design, control algorithms, sensing, networking, human interfacing, simulation, and visualization. Energids robotics software has applications in numerous fields, including factory automation, surgical operations, agricultural harvesting and processing, entertainment, space exploration, and more. The firms machine vision technology has been used to meet the needs of commercial and federal (NASA, and DoD) customers providing 3D object recognition, 3D tracking, 2D inspection, and other machine vision tasks. The firms simulation technology is able to provide the most realistic electronic simulation available. High fidelity simulation is useful for anything from medical device development to robot workspace analysis.
