3D vision in the robotic surgery industry
Enhanced depth perception
3D vision enables surgeons to precisely assess surgical regions, surface contours, and features such as scars and papillomas with millimeter accuracy.
AI-powered surgical automation
Leveraging detailed 3D mapping, AI can automatically identify and segment anatomical structures, while providing real-time recommendations for optimal cutting paths.
Dynamic 360° visualization
3D vision provides clearer, more detailed views of hard-to-reach anatomical areas, reducing blind spots and enhancing surgical safety.

What's possible with Zivid 3D cameras
Increased precision in real-time
AI-powered surgical automation requires an extremely accurate vision system capable of detecting tiny objects with sub-millimeter precision. In addition, real-time tracking is essential to continuously monitor every movement, ensuring patient safety while maximizing operational efficiency.
Zivid 3D cameras empower robots to accurately capture small and intricate objects, delivering high-definition, full-color images in both 2D and 3D point clouds. The system can trace contours, follow complex shapes, and detect fine details with human-like perception, capturing every feature in the blink of an eye.
Eye-safe 3D technology
Robotic surgery often requires close collaboration between human healthcare professionals and robotic systems. Zivid 3D cameras use white structured light instead of lasers, eliminating the risk of eye damage from direct exposure or reflections. This makes Zivid cameras not only a strong technical fit, but also an ergonomic and regulatory fit for surgical environments where humans and robots work side by side.
Robot-mounted 3D scanning
With the Zivid 3D camera, your robot can dynamically adjust its viewpoint — moving closer, pulling back, or changing angles — to always capture the best possible view.
Weighing under 1000 g and featuring a compact footprint, Zivid cameras deliver HD point clouds without compromising the robot’s payload capacity or maneuverability. This makes them ideal for demanding robotic surgery, helping avoid blind spots, occlusion, and point cloud artifacts.
