Orbbec showcases AI-powered 3D vision systems for industrial robots

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    Orbbec, a Shenzhen-based maker of industrial 3D cameras, displayed its latest vision products at Automate 2026 in Chicago. The company partnered with Robbyant to introduce LingBot-Depth for Gemini 330 Series, which combines high-precision depth sensors with AI models to help robots handle transparent objects, low-texture surfaces, and reflective materials that challenge conventional vision systems.

  2. Why it matters

    Industrial automation relies on precise spatial perception, and the integration of depth data directly into large AI models significantly enhances a robot's manipulation capabilities and operational success rates. Orbbec's systems are designed for real industrial bottlenecks—carton tracking in logistics, metal alignment in assembly, and transparent vessel handling in labs—where accurate vision is critical for reliability and safety.

  3. What to watch

    Orbbec has served more than 1,600 robotics companies worldwide and holds over 70% market share in China's service robot vision market and South Korea's mobile robot vision market. The company is expanding manufacturing globally, with an upcoming factory in Vietnam and annual manufacturing capacity exceeding 6 million robotic units.
