Lightelligence has recently introduced its latest 3D depth camera, the Nebula 400, tailored to meet the sophisticated navigation and obstacle avoidance demands of commercial robots in complex environments. This camera offers an unparalleled 3D visual perception solution, blending precision with adaptability.

As a pioneering depth camera for commercial robots, the Nebula 400 integrates 3D structured light technology with Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology, boasting a wide field of view, extensive measuring range, and exceptional outdoor performance. It provides high-accuracy depth perception across various distances, significantly bolstering robots' capabilities in intricate scenarios.

The Nebula 400 stands out with its ultra-wide field of view of 98°(H)×75°(V), granting robots a broader perspective and enhancing their environmental awareness. This allows robots to cover larger areas with minimal distortion, enhancing both efficiency and safety. By harmonizing 3D structured light and ToF technology, the camera delivers high-quality imaging from 3cm to 8 meters, enabling more comprehensive perception for robots.

Thanks to its support for ultra-large range depth perception, the Nebula 400 requires only one camera to handle both obstacle avoidance and navigation tasks for robots. For close-range obstacle avoidance, it employs high-precision structured light reconstruction technology to mitigate ToF multi-path interference, ensuring depth data accuracy. For long-range SLAM applications, it leverages mToF modulated light field technology and a precise point extraction strategy to eliminate multipath noise, significantly improving robot accuracy in complex environments, especially in confined spaces like corners.

Furthermore, the Nebula 400 incorporates Lightelligence's proprietary color depth fusion algorithm, outputting RGBD fused images for denser, clearer point cloud images. This technology ensures high-quality depth data in challenging environments like dark or highly reflective spaces, empowering robots with superior obstacle avoidance abilities.

Additionally, the Nebula 400 supports multiple depth perception algorithms, including ground obstacle segmentation, 3D SLAM, and thin line/smudge recognition. Through the synergistic operation of these algorithms, the camera provides efficient depth perception across various application scenarios, enhancing recognition of complex environments and small objects, facilitating faster and more accurate surrounding environment recognition and path planning during SLAM.

In outdoor settings, the Nebula 400 excels with its excellent anti-glare capabilities, maintaining stable operation even under intense outdoor light conditions up to 100,000 Lux. Its IP67 dust and waterproof rating effectively shields the device from dust and water, ensuring continuous and stable performance in harsh weather or humid environments.

The Nebula 400 depth camera offers exceptional compatibility and adaptability, ideal for delivery robots, cleaning robots, outdoor robots, robotic dogs, humanoid robots, and more. Its versatility stems not only from advanced hardware and optimized software algorithms but also from its compact design. The M12 interface at the rear supports USB 2.0 and Ethernet communication protocols, eliminating cable length restrictions while enhancing device connection stability and reliability. This design promotes product compactness, making it easier to integrate.

The launch of the Nebula 400 underscores Lightelligence's innovative strides in 3D visual perception. It also lays a visual technology foundation for commercial robots operating in complex environments. As technology evolves, Lightelligence will continue to propel the application of 3D visual technology in the commercial robot industry, aiding various industries in their digital transformation and intelligent upgrading journeys.
