Chip Power· Intelligent Collaboration · Next-Gen Sensing! visionICs, Digua Robotics & Qiutai Technology Jointly Develop RGBD Sensing and Localization Module for Embodied Robots
On November 21, 2025, the 2025 Digua Robotics Developer Conference concluded successfully. At this technological event gathering global pioneers in the robotics industry, visionICs, Digua Robotics and Q Tech jointly unveiled an eye-catching binocular RGB-dToF fusion sensor. This solution addresses industry pain points with four core technological breakthroughs and, leveraging the full-stack capabilities of the tripartite collaboration, boasts unparalleled advantages in identifying small objects and adapting to low-light, textureless and high-reflection environments for end-scenarios such as embodied intelligence and robotics.
Highlighted Industry Pain Points
Single sensing technology hits a bottleneck, and the market is in urgent need of a domestic fusion solution featuring high precision + strong adaptability + high cost performance
- Single binocular RGB sensor: Disparity calculation fails in low-texture scenarios and overexposure easily occurs in strong light, unable to meet the demand for feature recognition in complex environments.
- Traditional dToF sensor: Prone to "blooming" errors when facing high-reflection objects, with a blind zone in short-distance detection and precision susceptible to interference in medium and long distances.
- Poor adaptability of existing solutions: Emerging scenarios such as embodied intelligence and outdoor robotics are raising higher demands for full-range precision, full-environment adaptability and small-size integration.
Collaborative Breakthrough: Four Cutting-Edge Technologies Build Full-Scenario Sensing Capabilities
The high-performance RGBD sensor jointly launched this time addresses the pain points of traditional sensors in a targeted manner and achieves four major technological breakthroughs:
1. Benchmark Precision Breakthrough: ≤1% Error Across the Entire Range for Unmatched Accuracy Near and Far
Leveraging visionICs' leading position in domestic dToF technology and Q Tech's expertise in 3D module solution design and algorithms, the solution delivers stable output across the full range of 0.1-10m+ with a precision error of ≤1%. Field tests show it not only meets the delicate 3mm requirement within 0.3m for robotic arm "millimeter-level short-distance grasping" but also supports quadruped robots for "10m+ long-distance environmental detection", completely solving the industry's long-standing problem of "blur in short distance and inaccuracy in long distance".
2. Ultra-Long Ranging Coverage: 10m+ Outdoor Adaptability to Unlock Diverse Scenarios
Tailored to the scenario requirements of outdoor robots, the solution achieves seamless 10m+ outdoor detection through the anti-glare design of the dToF chip and Q Tech's outdoor environment algorithm optimization. Even in the harsh midday strong light, it can accurately identify obstacles and terrain, perfectly adapting to complex outdoor operation scenarios.
3. Panoramic Field of View Upgrade: 120°×90° Ultra-Large FOV to Reduce Redundant Motions
The solution features an ultra-large field of view of 120°×90°, enabling full-area coverage with a single shot.
4. Worry-Free Full-Environment Adaptability: Zero Errors in Extreme Scenarios with Adaptive Sensing
- Low-light environments: Active light source fill-in from dToF combined with RGB low-light imaging optimization enables precise ranging even without illumination.
- Textureless environments: Complementary RGB feature recognition and dToF point cloud solve the problem of sensing failure in scenarios such as "white walls and solid-color desktops".
- Midday strong light: Anti-glare design of dToF plus RGB exposure control prevents overexposure and data distortion.
- High-reflection glass: Algorithm correction for "blooming" errors enables accurate identification of high-reflection objects such as glass curtain walls and mirrors.
In addition, the solution is built-in with an IMU inertial measurement unit, which further enhances robots' capabilities in autonomous movement, dynamic obstacle avoidance and intelligent decision-making.
Ecological Synergy to Empower the Robotics Industry
visionICs, Digua Robotics and Q Tech have deepened ecological collaboration and, relying on their mass production experience and resource advantages in respective fields, successfully promoted the seamless connection and accelerated commercialization of the high-performance RGBD sensor from technology to end applications. This solution can be precisely adapted to core scenarios such as embodied intelligent human-computer interaction, full-condition operation of smart lawnmowers and complex terrain movement of quadruped robots. It not only achieves performance breakthroughs but also balances integration flexibility and reliability, with its outstanding performance fully demonstrated at the Developer Conference.
In the future, the three parties will continue to deepen cooperation, take hardcore technology and an open ecosystem as the foundation, provide higher-quality sensing solutions for the global robotics industry, and jointly build an independent, controllable, safe and efficient new industrial ecosystem.
