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.
