3D imaginative and prescient specialist Orbbec has launched its newest stereo imaginative and prescient 3D digicam, the Gemini 335Lg — particularly designed for the wants of robots, together with autonomous cell robots (AMRs), with the inclusion of Gigabit Multimedia Serial Hyperlink 2 (GMSL2) over a strong vibration-resistant FAKRA connector.
“We’re excited to introduce the Gemini 335Lg at ROSCon 2024,” says Orbbec’s Michael McSweeney of the corporate’s latest digicam, which is being demoed on the occasion this week. “This new addition displays our dedication to enhancing robotics options with superior expertise, providing larger stability and reliability for AMRs and robotic arms.”
The compact digicam is constructed round Orbbec’s newest MX6800 depth engine, which does the required processing to show the visible-light and near-infrared (NIR) digicam feeds right into a depth map on-device with the intention to unlock the host’s processors for different duties. The digicam can ship a 1280×800 decision depth map at 30 frames per second, leaping to 60 frames per second in the event you drop the decision to 848×480. The visible-light video feed, in the meantime, runs at a full 60 frames per second at 1280×800.
A key function of the Gemini 335Lg is its robustness: along with an IP65-rated water- and dust-resistant housing, the digicam includes a vibration-resistant FAKRA connector carrying a Gigabit Multimedia Serial Hyperlink 2 (GMSL2) sign over distances as much as 15m (round 50 ft) — although a lower-cost model, the Gemini 335L, is out there with a normal USB connector good to 3m (round ten ft) for individuals who would favor it.

The corporate guarantees out-of-the-box assist on NVIDIA’s Jetson platform, with Robotic Working System (ROS) and ROS 2 compatibility, by way of an acceptable GMSL2 digicam board, with the flexibility to deal with as much as 16 cameras per host — with assist for added platforms “coming quickly.”
Extra info is out there on the Orbbec web site, the place the Gemini 335Lg is out there to pre-order at $429 — or $359 for the USB-only Gemini 335L.
