On January 5, according to official information from RoboSense, the true robotic operational eye, AC2, will be showcased for the global robotics market at CES 2026. AC2 is the industry's first super sensor system that simultaneously integrates a solid-state dToF LiDAR, a stereo RGB camera, and an IMU, designed to help current robots overcome challenges in precise manipulation across complex scenarios, with potential wide application in humanoid robots, warehouse AGVs, domestic robots, and digital twins. AC2 provides robots with underlying hardware-fused 3D spatial perception and 6-degree-of-freedom motion information, maintaining a stable ranging accuracy of ±5mm within an 8-meter detection range, and, combined with 1600×1200 high-resolution RGB images, can clearly reconstruct three-dimensional details and perceive small objects. AC2 adopts an ultra-large FOV design; whether in fusion perception mode or in single-sensor modes like dToF, stereo, or RGB, it delivers a consistent wide field of view of 120°×90°, an improvement of over 70% compared to traditional 3D cameras. Thanks to RoboSense's multi-sensor chip-level hardware synchronization control technology, AC2's fusion perception synchronization accuracy is less than 1ms, achieving extreme alignment of various data streams. Furthermore, the use of a global shutter eliminates the rolling shutter effect within a single frame, further enhancing synchronization accuracy for exceptionally smooth operation. AC2 features a wear-resistant glass cover, with compact dimensions of just L102×H32×D45(mm), allowing it to be easily embedded into confined spaces such as the face of a humanoid robot, the head of a robotic dog, or the end of a robotic arm. With a 65mm binocular baseline spacing similar to human eyes, AC2's imaging aligns more naturally with human brain processing habits, mitigating teleoperation-induced dizziness. AC2 is resistant to ambient light interference, performing reliably in scenarios with strong light, low light, or alternating light and dark conditions; even under extreme illumination of 100klux, it maintains stable ranging capability and precision. AC2 also overcomes traditional perception bottlenecks by suppressing crosstalk, overexposure, and missed detections caused by highly reflective materials, thereby broadening the application scenarios for robotic manipulation. AC2 is not only high-performing but also safe and reliable. With an IP65 dust and water resistance rating, a wide operating temperature range of -10℃ to 55℃, and excellent design features like an efficient GMSL2 serializer and FAKRA connectors, AC2 is the ideal perception partner for robots to achieve full-scenario, all-condition operational applications. RoboSense's AI-Ready ecosystem is tailored for AC2's usage scenarios, adding open-source algorithms such as pose estimation and human skeleton recognition. The AI-Ready ecosystem provides a full suite of open-source resources, including the AC Studio tool suite, Wiki documentation, and multi-scenario datasets, supports mainstream robotic computing platforms like Rockchip RK3588, NVIDIA Orin series, and Horizon chips, and includes rich online AI resources, enabling developers to start building projects immediately upon receiving AC2 and accelerate the deployment of innovative results. With the global launch of AC2, RoboSense (02498) enables the Active Camera to form a complete robotic perception product portfolio, covering the two core task requirements of robot mobility and manipulation. RoboSense will continue to build the optimal product and technology ecosystem to support the large-scale commercial deployment of the robotics industry, exploring the limitless possibilities of intelligent robots together with global users.
