There were many articles from throughout the year that I would like to share with all of you in this slideshow, but in terms of sheer popularity, it was easy to identify the topics at the top of the list. Perhaps not all that surprisingly, these topics were: Factory automation, robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles, image sensors, and non-industrial imaging. Take a look through each slide to see the three most popular articles from each of these topics.
Former VSD Editor James Carroll joined the team 2013. Carroll covered machine vision and imaging from numerous angles, including application stories, industry news, market updates, and new products. In addition to writing and editing articles, Carroll managed the Innovators Awards program and webcasts.
