Teledyne FLIR Integrated Imaging Solution has introduced the Bumblebee® X series, an advanced stereo vision solution built on our best-in-class stereo vision portfolio.

Accordingly, the company’s legacy of stereo vision solutions started over 25 years ago with Point Grey Research’s Triclops® and Digiclops®. Now, it has actualized a new industrial stereo camera Bumblebee® X and a software Spinnaker® 3D. Most importantly, the new solution offers a comprehensive approach with onboard processing to build successful systems for warehouse automation, robotics guidance, and logistics.

Perfect for Factories, Warehouses

Sadiq Panjwani, General Manager at Teledyne FLIR IIS, said, “Our team…has informed the design of the hardware, software, and processing at the core of Bumblebee X. With high accuracy across a large range of distances, this solution is perfect for factories and warehouses.”

Bumblebee X delivers on the essential need for a comprehensive and real-time stereo vision solution. Customers can test and deploy depth sensing systems that work up to ranges of 20m with the wide baseline solution. Thus, the low latency makes it ideal for real-time applications such as autonomous mobile robots, automated guided vehicles, pick and place, bin picking, and palletization.

Key Features

For one, the new solution has a factory calibrated 24cm baseline stereo vision with 3 MP sensors. Thus, offering high accuracy and low latency real-time applications. It also comes with IP67 industrial rated vision system with ordering options of color and monochrome. It also has different field-of-views and 1GigE or 5GigE PoE.

Meanwhile, its onboard processing can output a depth map and color data for point cloud conversion and colorization. It also has an ability to trigger an external pattern projector and synchronize multiple systems together for more precise 3D depth information. Moreover, it has a software library with articles, example code and Windows, Linux, and Robotics Operating System (ROS) support
