Robotics

The global robotics market—projected to exceed US$45 billion by 2025—is expanding rapidly across industries like logistics, manufacturing, inspection, and transportation. As systems become more autonomous, the need for optimized imaging grows. Custom optics and multimodal camera modules are essential for reliable real-time navigation, obstacle avoidance, object manipulation, and dynamic environmental interaction. At Optopax, we deliver precision-engineered imaging systems tailored to the demands of robotic platforms—providing enhanced perception, compact integration, and AI-ready image quality.

Solutions Offered

Robotics needs more than just a camera—it needs a camera system tailored to how it moves, senses, and makes decisions. That’s where custom imaging modules give your platform the edge over commodity components. Off-the-shelf cameras can be extremely limiting. Optopax delivers custom optics and precision-engineered camera modules with optimized resolution, field-of-view, working distance, and depth perception matched to the application.

All of our custom modules start with selection of the sensor based on performance and cost needs, followed by custom optics, field of view, and depth optimization. We can integrate multi-modal sensing to ensure robots accurately perceive their environment, and engineer for system-level requirements like size, weight, power, and latency. With over 300 years of combined experience, we deliver imaging solutions that are built for performance, integration, and reliability in real-world robotic systems.

How Optopax can help

Image Quality Optimization

Robotic vision systems often rely on small-format sensors to meet tight constraints on size, weight, and power - placing greater demands on the optics. Smaller pixels and compact sensor formats require tighter optical tolerances, higher MTF, and control of aberrations, distortion, and field curvature. Design and manufacturing of these optics is an Optopax core capability.

Custom Camera System Design

Optimizing camera systems requires matching lens design with the right CMOS sensor. Emerging sensor technologies enhance low-light performance, dynamic range, size, cost, power, speed, and noise. Optopax integrates cutting-edge sensors from Sony, OmniVision, and OnSemi into robotics vision camera modules.

Data Stream

Support

Optopax supports designs of camera modules featuring high-bandwidth, low-latency data output with interfaces including MIPI CSI-2, USB3, and GigE, ensuring seamless real-time integration. Onboard ISP options can also be integrated upon request enabling AI systems to process cleaner, more consistent image data with reduced post-processing overhead.

Multimodal Camera Assemblies

Robotics vision systems interact with their environment. Optopax is able to integrate multispectral, hyperspectral, dot projectors, and stereo vision to enhance data capture and analysis. Optopax specializes in designing compact, reliable multi-modality sensing systems specifically for a wide variety of robotic operating environments.

Harsh

Environments

Robots can operation in dynamic, harsh, or space-constrained environments. Our solutions account for vibration, shock thermal cycling, ingress protection, and electromagnetic shielding, ensuring long-term reliability, optimal image quality, and seamless integration into robotic systems

OEM
Manufacturing

Optopax offers integrated manufacturing services for custom optics and camera modules providing seamless transition between design and production. Offshore manufacturing lowers costs, while in-region Optopax quality control ensures product excellence.
