The Robot Revolution Starts with Seeing the World in 3D

With the Intel® RealSense™ Depth Camera D455, AMRs can perceive environments with human-like vision, enabling them to navigate complex spaces with powerful precision. Advanced AI-driven 3D visual simultaneous localization and mapping (Visual SLAM) technology further augments AMRs, with the ability to plan the most efficient route and respond to unforeseen obstacles on their own.

Empower AMRs with Three Incredible Technologies

Intel RealSense Robotics are made up of a trio of innovations featuring state-of-the-art vision technology, end-to-end Intel® hardware, and optimized AI software.

Visual SLAM

Intel RealSense Robotics feature full RGBD capabilities, with 3D visual inputs to enable onboard AI that creates a 3D color map of environments.

  • Designed for traffic-intensive, dynamic, hybrid, and ever-changing environments
  • Less than 2cm endpoint accuracy for meticulous materials handling
  • Less than 5mm docking precision to position AMRs right where they need to be

Intel® RealSense™ Camera

Advanced 3D technology for cutting-edge automation applications features a wider baseline of 95mm to significantly improve depth accuracy. This enhanced precision enables AMRs to perceive environments with greater clarity and navigate complex spaces with ease.

  • Global shutter RGB sensor synchronized with depth FOV for superior image quality and precise depth-to-color alignment
  • Intel® RealSenseâ„¢ Vision SoC V5 with integrated IMU for augmented vision and refined depth awareness, even when moving
  • Open source Intel® RealSenseâ„¢ SDK 2.0 for cross-platform customization and seamless integration

Robotic Vision Platform Industrial Compute Module

This versatile, all-in-one computing solution for AMRs features powerful Intel® Core™ i7-1270P processors and AI optimized with the OpenVINO™ toolkit. AMRs get all the performance they need to dynamically plan routes, detect and avoid obstacles, and more.

  • Ruggedized, durable enclosure with active cooling to help ensure uptime in harsh environments
  • Multiple CPU entry points and optional Intel® Arcâ„¢ A370M GPU for right-sized AI performance
  • Down to the silicon, end-to-end Intel for compatibility, serviceability, reliability, and optimized AI

Transform How Mobile Robots Perceive Their Environment

Intel RealSense Robotics vSLAM changes the way AMRs see, from limited 2D LiDAR capabilities to full-color 3D vision. With this innovative approach, AMRs can distinguish different colors, patterns, and objects in changing environments and lighting conditions.

Visual SLAM

2D LiDAR SLAM

Hardware complexity

Streamlined, efficient platforms 

Using advanced stereo depth cameras combined with familiar x86 components, the Intel RealSense Robotics solution focuses on hardware integration for enhanced serviceability and reliability. This approach simplifies the system architecture, making it more efficient and easier to maintain.

Niche, decentralized systems

Several sensors and decentralized components can increase hardware footprint complexity. While programmable logic controllers (PLCs), motor drivers, and encoders are essential for both LiDAR and Visual SLAM AMRs, the additional sensors in LiDAR systems may require more-specialized skills to service.

Navigation capabilities

Powerful, adaptable AI vision

The Intel RealSense Robotics solution processes up to 276 million data points per second with the ability to interpret visual cues, shapes, colors, and patterns anywhere in the robot’s 360-degree, 3D field of view.

Limited sensors that struggle with complexity

LiDAR’s flat 2D observation of ground-level objects only generates simple distance measurements, without any data about colors, patterns, or the ability to identify objects.

Setup and manageability

Intelligent, autonomous mapping

AMRs can navigate freely without environmental indicators. Visual SLAM uses AI to navigate environments dynamically, creating its own digital map as it moves.

External setup and remapping required

In complex and challenging environments, LiDAR may require external reflectors or markers to assist with navigation. Changes to environment may require assisted remapping.

Future-proofing

Growth with AI advancement

AI computer vision allows for a higher ceiling of technological maturity as AI becomes more robust and integrates new capabilities like GenAI.

Stagnant growth

LiDAR is already mature, with less room for dramatic improvement.
