What is Centeye?

Centeye is a closely held corporation, founded in 2000 by Geoffrey L Barrows, that is based in Washington, DC and specializes in embedded vision systems for robotics applications. The majority of our revenue comes from contract R&D services with industry, government, and universities.

In late 2010, we started a separate IR&D developed line of open source products and concurrently established the Embedded Eye community. We see this as a viable area for future growth and are currrently designing some of our next series of chips with open source hardware (OSHW) in mind.

Centeye endorses Open Source Hardware (OSHW) Definition 1.0, and follows this definition for our open source hardware products.

What makes us unique?

Our unique characteristic is our vertically integrated approach to technology development.
