AI-Powered Robotic Vision Platform

April 27, 2025

 

 

The AC1 Active Camera is an AI-powered robotic vision platform designed to improve perception and operational cognition in robotics. Developed by RoboSense, this innovative device integrates multiple sensors to achieve hardware-level fusion of depth information, image data, and motion posture data. By synchronizing these elements in time and space, the AC1 enables robots to capture comprehensive environmental details, overcoming challenges such as sunlight interference and highly reflective surfaces.

The AC1 has the ability to provide an ultra-wide field of view, significantly improving perception capabilities compared to conventional 3D cameras. With a detection range extending up to seventy meters and a stable ranging accuracy of three centimeters, the AC1 is well-suited for applications requiring precise obstacle avoidance, mapping, and localization. This eliminates the complexities associated with multi-sensor stacking and calibration, allowing developers to focus on core functionality without the burden of data conflicts.

The AC1 is supported by RoboSense’s AI-Ready ecosystem, which provides developers with essential open-source tools and algorithms. The AC Studio toolkit streamlines development by offering drivers, data acquisition tools, and fusion algorithms, while the accompanying algorithm library supports advanced technologies such as SLAM, semantic segmentation, and 3D Gaussian splatting. These resources are optimized for mainstream AI computing platforms, ensuring seamless integration into various robotic applications.

Designed for versatility, the AC1 can be deployed in a wide range of scenarios, including humanoid robots, drones, digital twin environments, and industrial robotics. Its ability to fuse depth, color, and motion posture information makes it an ideal solution for 3D scanning, environmental monitoring, and bulk material tracking. Additionally, the AC1 holds significant potential in autonomous driving and home robotics, where precise perception and navigation are critical.
