The Arducam RoAD.B 1MP Color Global Shutter Kit is a specialized binocular vision system designed for short-range spatial awareness. Featuring an ultra-compact 20mm baseline, this camera excels at providing depth data for objects very close to the lens—an area where wider stereo cameras often lose focus or accuracy. Its combination of color fidelity, global shutter performance, and a protective industrial enclosure makes it a "ready-to-deploy" solution for intricate robotic tasks.
As part of the Arducam RoAD family, this kit is built for the entire product lifecycle—from initial POC to mass production. We understand the needs of industrial clients, offering guaranteed long-term supply and dedicated technical support. Arducam provides the stability and flexibility required to integrate high-performance binocular vision into your professional ecosystem.
Applications
Small-Scale Robotics: Precise navigation and obstacle avoidance for tabletop or indoor micro-AMRs.
Close-up Manipulation: Depth-aware vision for robotic grippers and pick-and-place systems.
Medical & Laboratory AI: Compact stereo imaging for automated sample handling or surgical assistance.
Object Dimensioning: Accurate 3D measurement of small packages or components in logistics.
Gesture Control: High-speed, close-range hand tracking for immersive human-machine interfaces.
Features
20mm Baseline for Macro Depth: Standard stereo cameras typically have a 55mm-65mm baseline, which is unsuitable for close-range work. The 20mm baseline of this RoAD.B kit allows the software to calculate depth much closer to the camera, making it the perfect choice for "macro" 3D vision and small robotic platforms.
Color-Accurate Global Shutter: While many depth cameras are monochrome, this kit uses color sensors. This allows your AI models to perform object classification, color detection, and depth sensing simultaneously—all while the global shutter ensures zero "jello effect" or motion blur.
Robust "Ready-to-Use" Enclosure: The sensors are housed in a sturdy industrial enclosure that maintains the 20mm baseline calibration even under vibration or light impact. This eliminates the need for users to design their own mounts or recalibrate the stereo pair frequently.
Advanced Synchronization Options: Beyond the UVC-compliant USB-C connection, the customizable trigger port allows the camera to be hardware-synced with external strobes or other robotic sensors. This ensures your visual data is perfectly timed with the rest of your system's telemetry.
The Arducam RoAD Advantage: Choosing this kit means choosing industrial-grade reliability. We provide extensive documentation, long-term product availability, and the ability to customize hardware (such as lenses or baseline variations) to meet the specific requirements of your deployment.
