Core Strengths

Global Shutter: Capture More Rich Details

Equipped with two 1920x1200 global-shutter color sensors, the camera produces ultra-clear images and quickly captures any high-dynamic-range scene.

Secure and reliable GMSL2 or MIPI connections

The ZED X’s GMSL2 output is ideal for robotics applications. Through its robust interface, it can transmit video to a Jetson Orin located up to 15 meters away with low latency and no electromagnetic interference.

Multi-Camera Synchronization

Supports frame-level hardware synchronization of multiple connected devices within 100 microseconds. Through synchronized triggering, RGB and depth images from multiple angles within the same environment can be captured and calibrated, providing a comprehensive view of the environment.

Industrial-grade enclosure

The IP67-rated rugged housing is ideal for agricultural and industrial environments. It ensures protection against dust and water, providing essential safeguards for mobile robots.

High-Performance IMU

The all-new IMU integrates a 16-bit triaxial accelerometer and gyroscope, featuring vibration resistance, ultra-low noise, and zero offset, enabling exceptional motion tracking.

Terra AI Neural Deep Technology

Developed by Stereolabs, the Neural Depth Engine can increase depth map generation speed by more than 300% over a range from 10 centimeters to tens of meters, and demonstrates excellent robustness for textureless surfaces and under various lighting conditions.

Customer Case Study: Industrial-Grade Embodied AI General-Purpose Robots with Deep Perception

Customer Needs

Hongke’s partner is developing industrial-grade embodied intelligent robots designed specifically for complex industrial environments such as the automotive, 3C electronics, and warehousing sectors, which place extremely high demands on the core sensing component—the depth camera. The robots must use stereo or 3D depth cameras to capture real-time 3D environmental data and accurately identify complex components and irregularly shaped objects to meet the demands of high-precision grasping, path planning, and palletizing tasks. Therefore, the depth cameras must have an industrial protection rating of IP67 or higher, to withstand dust, vibration, oil contamination, and wide temperature ranges, ensuring stable, high-frame-rate depth data output even within the robot’s complex electromagnetic environment. This provides reliable 3D environmental perception input for the robot’s embodied intelligence model, enabling autonomous operation and safe interaction. In addition, the camera must provide a comprehensive set of APIs and ROS-compatible sample programs to simplify integration into existing development environments for embodied intelligence robots, thereby facilitating rapid project implementation and robot deployment.

Hi-Tech Solutions

Equipped with Hongke’s ZED X series depth cameras, it offers 30 fps, 1920×1200 global shutter resolution, and depth accuracy of ±0.8% or 0.4% within 2 meters, providing real-time, high-precision 3D data for embodied intelligent robots to meet customers’ 3D perception needs. The ZED X Series depth cameras feature an IP67 protection rating and utilize the GMSL2 protocol, ensuring that robots can consistently output high-frame-rate depth data even in dusty, vibrating, oily, wide-temperature, and complex electromagnetic environments. Leveraging decades of technical expertise, Hongke’s ZED depth cameras offer a comprehensive software development ecosystem, including C++, Python, and ROS sample programs, and are compatible with existing robot development and simulation platform tools such as NVIDIA IsaacSim, Unity 3D, and Foxglove.

Hongke Collaborates with ZED Camera on Customer Engagement

Hongke has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the core team behind embodied robots at Anhui Lingdong General Robotics (a subsidiary of iFlytek), and ZED X will be integrated into their embodied intelligent robots.

Outstanding Performance

Clear imaging even during high-speed motion

The ZED X's global shutter captures every movement without compromising dynamic range or overall image quality. With no blur or distorted lines, every frame is pixel-perfect.

Exceptional Lens Quality

The ZED X’s all-new optical system features a 9-element glass lens that combines high MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) with optical distortion correction, delivering advanced imaging performance for stereo cameras. The system supports flexible configuration options: the 2mm lens provides a wide-angle field of view, while the 4mm lens enhances depth perception and image quality at long distances.

Rugged and durable, designed for harsh environments

The ZED X is designed specifically for field operations. Its IP67-rated enclosure and GMSL2 interface provide highly effective dust and water resistance, ensuring continuous and stable operation in all weather conditions. By providing a real-time view of the surrounding environment, the ZED X enables robots to operate reliably in unstructured environments and under unpredictable conditions.

Stereolabs — Giving Robots Vision Like the Human Eye

Since its founding in 2010, Stereolabs has been dedicated to endowing robots with human-like visual capabilities. Through advanced stereo vision and depth-sensing technologies, the company enables robots not only to “see” a high-resolution, full-color world, but also to deeply understand the textures, spatial relationships, and semantic information within their environment. The company’s technology originated at the Paris Institute of Optics. In its early days, it established its industry reputation by providing 3D image stabilization for films such as *Avatar*; subsequently, its independently developed ZED series of depth cameras became an industry benchmark due to their ruggedness and cost-effectiveness. Today, Stereolabs is propelling vision technology into a new era—advanced perception systems that fuse data from multiple sources to provide uninterrupted, high-precision environmental understanding solutions for fields such as autonomous robotics and embodied intelligence. With offices in San Francisco, New York, and Paris, the company serves partners across the globe.

As the official authorized distributor of Stereolabs software and hardware products (including the ZED camera, ZED Mini camera, and ZED SDK) in China, Hongke has maintained long-term, stable technical exchanges and project training with Stereolabs, and is committed to introducing cutting-edge stereo vision solutions to the domestic market. From agricultural automation to urban spatial analysis, YouSiTe has successfully served numerous industry-leading clients, including iFlytek, Qiongche Intelligence, Xiaoyu Intelligent Manufacturing, Lingdong General, Zhongke Optoelectronics, Haiwei Technology, and Daxiao Robotics, accelerating the adoption of ZED products in real-world scenarios such as embodied intelligence.
