From Concept to Cutting Edge: Showcasing Vision That Sees It All
In a compelling display, RoboSense’s exhibition attracted robotics developers, engineers, and industry watchers keen to witness how vision robotics is evolving. The Active Camera platform stands out by merging, in a single integrated device, colour imaging, depth sensing, and motion tracking via LiDAR, RGB camera, and IMU—all fused in an intelligent, spatiotemporal architecture. This sophisticated synergy addresses the historic challenges of robotic vision—blurriness, misinterpretation, and delayed response—delivering accuracy, resilience, and real-time environmental understanding.
With the AC1 already in circulation since March 2025, the unveiling of its successor AC2 at WRC brings renewed global interest. Though AC2 remains under wraps until its official launch later this year, the display alone stirred excitement about the imminent evolution in robotic perception.
An AI-Ready Ecosystem: Fuel for Innovation
But RoboSense didn’t stop at hardware. Alongside its active camera technology, the company pulled back the curtain on its AI-Ready Ecosystem—a development framework designed for robotics innovators across sectors. This ecosystem offers open-source development tools, pre-trained AI algorithms, reference models, and curated datasets. It serves as a launchpad for both application creators and algorithm engineers to design, prototype, and scale new capabilities more efficiently and cost-effectively.
This inclusive ecosystem allows application developers to leverage pre-integrated algorithmic powers in their robotic solutions, speeding up deployment from prototype to mass production. On the other hand, algorithm and embedded-system developers gain access to real-world use scenarios to refine and tune their technologies, bridging the gap between prototype and customer-ready solutions.
A Unified Showfloor: Partners Bring the Vision to Life
At the event, RoboSense played host to more than ten of its global ecosystem partners. These included the Beijing Innovation Centre of Humanoid Robotics, Dobot Robotics, Ti5 Robot, CASBOT, Hubei Humanoid Robotics Innovation Centre, Unitree Robotics, and Pudu Robotics—all of which showcased their latest creations, many leveraging RoboSense’s Active Camera tech. The result was a vibrant and compelling snapshot of China’s robotics industry pushing forward across spheres—from industrial automation to companionship and service robotics.
Why Active Camera Matters
Today’s general-purpose robots—ranging from humanoids to mowing machines and service assistants—must operate in complex, dynamic environments. For these robots to safely perform tasks, they require a vision system that effectively captures the three-dimensional layout, textures, colours, and light dynamics of the real world. RoboSense’s Active Camera meets this demand elegantly, delivering spatiotemporally fused visual data that’s both rich and agile.
Crucially, the leap from AC1 to AC2 signals RoboSense’s intent to continuously elevate performance standards in accuracy, speed, and reliability—hallmarks essential for sectors like embodied robotics, general robotics, and digital twin technologies.
A Vision for Industrial Roll-Out and Research Expansion
RoboSense’s roadmap goes beyond launching AC2. The firm plans to expand the Active Camera family with more variants and supporting tools, designed to hasten AI innovation in research settings and reduce development timelines for commercialisation. The ambition: build a versatile perception platform applicable across many industries—one that eases mass deployment and opens up new value-creation frontiers.
Global Reach, Local Impact
While headquartered in Shenzhen, RoboSense’s influence stretches globally—with offices in Shanghai, Suzhou, Hong Kong, Stuttgart, Detroit, and Silicon Valley. It stands as a key player in what many describe as the embodied robotics movement, helping to shape the next chapter of robotic development worldwide.
Conclusion
RoboSense’s showcasing of the Active Camera platform at WRC 2025 signals a pivotal moment for robotic vision systems. With AC1 already outperforming traditional systems, the debut of AC2 promises even more—faster processing, sharper accuracy, and enhanced adaptability. Coupled with the AI-Ready ecosystem and a robust network of technology partners, RoboSense is laying the groundwork for accelerated, scalable deployment of advanced vision robotics.
