Roboception GmbH Product
Eyes and brains for your robot: With its innovative hardware and software products, Roboception GmbH, based in Munich, is a pioneer in 3D sensor technology. Our 3D stereo sensor rc_visard enables robotic systems to reliably perceive their environment in real time; the complementary rc_reason software suite offers application-specific modules to add on as needed for your individual tasks. Intuitive user interfaces make the implementation as easy as can be: Users, even without any prior robot vision experience, will be able to deliver task-relevant information such as grasp points with just a few mouse clicks. We combine both classical and AI-based methods to give the robots eyes – and hence deliver key elements of our customer’s most forward-looking automation solutions in domains like logistics, automation and beyond.

The flexible vision platform rc_visard NG opens up new possibilities for robotics integrators and end users to take full advantage
Smarter than ever!
The flexible vision platform rc_visard NG opens up new possibilities for robotics integrators and end users to take full advantage of image processing solutions in their automation endeavors.
The smart 3D stereo sensor allows the easy integration of proven software solutions with application-specific additions. The ‘next generation’ of the rc_visard is powered by today’s most advanced embedded AI solution, the NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ series.
Flexibility Through Modularity
Platforms for robot vision are based on modular concepts, building blocks and platform technologies to provide users with better integration processes and ultimately more stable and flexible solutions. Based on the three levels of (1) hardware, (2) vendor software and (3) customer-specific software, users can design tailored vision solutions for functional applications. As a highly flexible robot vision platform, the rc_visard NG is the first to unite all three levels on one sensor. Without additional hardware or external computing power, the rc_visard NG delivers powerful robot vision right on the edge in one single device.
Plug-and-Produce Machine Vision
rc_visard NG users do not need any expertise or prior experience in machine vision: Thanks to its user-friendly web interface, the rc_visard NG can be used intuitively and the installation effort is reduced to a minimum. The rc_visard NG can also be connected and configured via Rest-API, ROS, OPC UA and GenICam.
True Flexibility: UserSpace on Board
The UserSpace feature allows users to deploy custom software directly on Roboception’s sensor hardware through Docker containers. The UserSpace is highly useful for collision-free motion planning, Industry 4.0 applications, vision pipelines, or application programs – all while preventing users from having to purchase additional hardware to run those individual software tools. REST-API and gRPC interfaces can be used within the UserSpace to obtain grasp points and image data, giving access to all activated rc_reason modules and connected sensors.
All rc_reason Modules on the Sensor
The rc_reason suite of software modules is an advanced AppliedAI solution designed for robotic applications: Users select the plug-and-produce software module that best fits their individual needs, and with just a few mouse clicks, the rc_visard NG provides task-relevant information such as grasp points. Any additional software elements can be included via the platform’s UserSpace.
