RoboSense Debuts AC2 Active Camera at WRC 2025, Enhancing Robot Vision
At the 2025 World Robot Conference (WRC), RoboSense (2498.HK), a prominent AI-driven robotics technology firm, unveiled its advanced Active Camera platform, aligning with the company’s theme, “The Real Eye of Robots.” The exhibition highlighted the already available AC1 model, showcased the accompanying AI-Ready ecosystem, and marked the public debut of the new AC2, slated for official launch later this year. The presentation garnered significant attention from robotics developers and industry professionals alike, underscoring RoboSense’s technological prowess and the expansive potential of its ecosystem in the realm of robotic visual perception.
Beyond its own showcase, RoboSense’s technology powered the exhibits of over ten global robotics partners, including notable names such as the Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics, Dobot Robotics, Unitree Robotics, and Pudu Robotics. These collaborations collectively painted a vivid picture of the accelerating momentum within Chinese robotics technology, demonstrating its rapid advancement across diverse industrial sectors.
The rapid evolution of general-purpose robots, particularly humanoid models, from theoretical concepts to tangible applications, marks a significant shift in recent years. Concurrently, specialized markets like lawn-mowing, service, and industrial robots are fast-tracking their journey towards commercial deployment. For these sophisticated machines to effectively navigate and operate in real-world environments, a fundamental requirement is the ability to clearly perceive and comprehend the intricate 3D structures, color variations, and light conditions of their surroundings.
Addressing this critical need, RoboSense has introduced its “Real Eye of Robots” series, the Active Camera. This innovative platform is built upon breakthroughs in sensor architecture, proprietary chip development, and advanced AI capabilities. The Active Camera integrates multiple sensors into a single hardware unit, simultaneously capturing rich color information, precise depth data, and real-time motion status. Crucially, it achieves a seamless fusion of these data types across space and time. This architectural leap surmounts the longstanding limitations of traditional 3D vision systems—namely, unclear perception, low accuracy, and slow response times—enabling robots to achieve highly robust, precise, and proactive environmental understanding. Following the successful launch of the AC1 in March 2025, the AC2’s public debut at WRC 2025 once again captured global attention within the robotics community, with its full commercial release anticipated later in the year.
Looking ahead, RoboSense plans to expand the Active Camera series with additional product offerings and comprehensive development tools. This strategic expansion aims to unlock new frontiers of AI-driven innovation for cutting-edge research, significantly reducing development time and resource expenditure for mass production and commercial ventures. The company envisions establishing a versatile perception technology platform applicable across a wide array of industries, delivering substantial value in fields such as embodied robotics, general robotics, and digital twin applications.
Simultaneously, RoboSense provided an in-depth look at its AI-Ready ecosystem, specifically tailored for Active Camera developers. This comprehensive ecosystem is designed to empower developers across various disciplines to efficiently prototype robotic products and accelerate their commercial application deployment. The AI-Ready ecosystem offers extensive development support, encompassing open-source tools, advanced AI algorithms, practical reference cases, and expansive datasets. Its design actively encourages both algorithm and application developers to leverage the Active Camera. Application developers can readily integrate existing algorithms on the platform to craft innovative features for their specific use cases, thereby expediting the transition from concept to market. Concurrently, AI algorithm and embedded systems developers benefit from the ecosystem’s diverse scenarios, allowing them to continuously refine and iterate their algorithms and hardware-software solutions, effectively bridging their technological advancements with customer needs and market opportunities.
At the WRC event, the impact of RoboSense’s “The Real Eye of Robots” product series was evident as numerous partners showcased their well-known robotic products, drawing enthusiastic interactions from attendees. The exhibition served as a powerful testament to the dynamic and flourishing innovation within China’s robotics industry. As a pivotal player in the embodied robotics movement, RoboSense’s comprehensive “Real Eye of Robots” series is spearheading a transformative shift in robotic vision development. By providing developers with a streamlined, user-friendly, and innovative one-stop solution, RoboSense is significantly accelerating the commercial deployment of advanced robotic products globally.
