LooperRobotics Insight 9 standalone spatial AI camera features D-Robotics RDK X5 SoC, supports ROS 2 (Crowdfunding)

LooperRobotics Insight 9 is an autonomous plug-and-play spatial AI camera designed for embodied intelligence, quadruped robots, and dynamic mobile platforms. Compared to typical USB depth cameras like Intel RealSense D435i or Luxonis OAK-D, which rely on a host PC for processing, the Insight 9 integrates a D-Robotics RDK X5 octa-core Cortex-A55 processor with a 10 TOPS AI accelerator, allowing it to run Visual SLAM (V-SLAM) and depth mapping entirely on-device. The camera features a "Tri-Eye Perception Matrix," which includes an 8.4MP Sony Starvis IMX415 RGB sensor with an ultra-wide 188° field of view, and two SmartSens SG0132 global shutter sensors for stereoscopic depth. Encased in a passively cooled CNC aluminum chassis, it is also equipped with an automotive-grade Bosch BMI088 IMU capable of 24g high-G tracking, making it suitable for the heavy vibrations of legged locomotion.
