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.

“Stereolabs enables us to develop the world’s best products, both in terms of functionality and on a broader scale.” — Carlo Mondavi, Co-Founder and Chief Agricultural Officer
In developing autonomous electric tractors, Monarch Tractor faced harsh conditions in agricultural environments—such as dust, fluctuating light, and vibrations—that made it difficult for traditional vision systems to ensure safety and reliability. Therefore, the company adopted Stereolabs’ ZED 2i stereo cameras and accompanying AI technology to enable functions such as human-eye-like depth perception, VSLAM localization, object detection, and human tracking. Each tractor is equipped with two ZED 2i cameras, successfully replacing high-cost LiDAR while significantly reducing costs and increasing pixel density.
By combining GPS with RTK correction, the entire system achieves an operational accuracy of 2 centimeters, significantly enhancing the tractor’s ability to avoid obstacles in complex farmland, operator safety, and overall operational efficiency. The ZED camera’s adaptability to dust, variable lighting conditions, and adverse weather makes it an ideal sensor for autonomous agricultural equipment.
Ultimately, Monarch Tractor not only enhances safety and productivity in agricultural production but also helps farmers gain strategic insights through the environmental data it collects, driving agriculture toward a smarter and more sustainable future. This case study fully demonstrates the application potential of AI solutions based on stereoscopic vision in heavy industry and outdoor autonomous equipment.
Autonomous Robots
To navigate complex and unpredictable terrain, autonomous mobile robots must continuously observe and understand their environment from all angles. At the same time, to effectively grasp or manipulate objects, robotic arms must continuously perceive the intricate details of their surroundings.
In both cases, the accuracy of vision-based systems is crucial, as it helps autonomous robots transition from basic tasks to more complex ones.
For example: self-driving tractors, AMRs, robotic arms, delivery robots, multi-purpose vehicles, fruit-picking robots, sprayers, etc.
Digital Twin
Spatial analysis and motion tracking involve detailed analysis of large spaces to gain precise and actionable insights.
By leveraging the ZED camera’s advanced visual data capture capabilities and the ZED SDK’s perception layer, we provide precise and actionable insights to optimize the interpretation and application of spatial data.
For example: motion tracking, automation, on-site safety, traffic optimization, retail efficiency, immersive experiences, digital twins, and more.
“Stereolabs is a key partner in the development of our body tracking system. They provided comprehensive guidance and hands-on support for integrating multiple cameras and ensuring data synchronization. We thank them for helping us seamlessly operate and deploy the entire system!” — MARIUS JABLONSKIS, Head of Digital Transformation at NORCONSULT

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.
