Richmond, Canada – April 16, 2024 – Teledyne FLIR IIS announced the launch of the Bumblebee®X Series, an advanced stereo vision solution based on our best-in-class stereo vision portfolio. Our tradition of stereo vision solutions began 25 years ago with the Triclops® and Digiclops® studied by Grey Dot. Now, we have implemented our new industrial stereo camera Bumblebee X and software Spinnaker®3D to create a comprehensive solution that includes on-board processing to build successful systems for warehouse automation, robot guidance and logistics.

UNS2882A “Bumblebee X is a new integrated solution that easily solves complex depth sensing challenges.” Sadiq Panjwani, General manager, Teledyne FLIR IIS, said, “Our team’s extensive stereo expertise and close focus on customer insights inform Bumblebee X’s core hardware, software and processing design. The solution has high precision over a large range, making it ideal for factories and warehouses.”

Bumblebee X provides the basic needs of comprehensive real-time stereo vision solutions. Customers can test and deploy depth sensing systems with a wide baseline solution with an operating range up to 20 meters. The low latency makes it ideal for real-time applications such as autonomous mobile robots, self-guided vehicles, pick and place, box pick and palletization.
