Stereolabs sponsors and showcases cutting-edge Robotic Perception and Vision AI Innovations at ROSCon 2025 in Singapore

Stereolabs is delighted to announce that we will be attending ROSCon 2025 in Singapore, the premier annual event for the Robot Operating System (ROS) community worldwide. This year, we are honored to participate as a Silver Sponsor, reinforcing our commitment to advancing general-purpose robotics and Physical AI. ROSCon brings together developers, researchers, and industry leaders from around the world to collaborate, share insights, and shape the future of autonomous systems and intelligent robotics. The conference will be held from October 27 to October 29, 2025, at the prestigious Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Our Commitment to the ROS Community

As a company at the forefront of AI vision and robotics perception technology, Stereolabs has always upheld an open philosophy of sharing knowledge and tools with the community. ROSCon represents a unique opportunity to meet face-to-face with ROS enthusiasts from around the globe, exchange ideas, and demonstrate how our technologies push the boundaries of what robots can perceive and do.

Our active contributions to ROS include the widely adopted ZED ROS2 Wrapper, which enables seamless integration of Stereolabs’ ZED stereo cameras with the ROS 2 ecosystem, and our continuous support to the development of the Nav2 framework as Open Navigation Silver Sponsor. Our presence at ROSCon underlines our ongoing commitment to advancing open-source robotics software and empowering developers of all skill levels with robust, scalable perception tools.

Highlights of What You’ll See at the Stereolabs Booth

At ROSCon 2025, Stereolabs will showcase some of our most exciting advancements designed to elevate the performance and compatibility of ZED cameras within ROS robotics systems:

• New ZED SDK 5.1 with major improvements and a focus on performance, stability, and flexibility.
  • Streamlined and more efficient capture
    • Stability reached with up to 16 sensors (8 ZED X).
    • New virtual stereo API: 2.5x more CPU-efficient than classical workflow
  • Depth Sensing and Calibration
    • ZED cameras now achieve unmatched close-range depth precision.
    • Enhanced Self-Calibration: optimisation of the calibration workflow
  • SLAM Gen3 (Magellan™) improvements
    • Robust Localization: Magellan™ SLAM is now more resilient to dynamic scenes and corrupted images.
    • Enhanced relocalization: Faster and more accurate in pre-mapped environments, reducing drift and improving navigation in known areas.
    • 2D Mode: Includes a new 2D mode, boosting localization accuracy for ground robots and flat environments.
• New NVIDIA® Jetson Thor Support
  We are thrilled to present our latest integration with NVIDIA®’s cutting-edge Jetson Thor platform. Leveraging the raw computational power and AI acceleration capabilities of Jetson Thor, our ZED SDK now delivers superior real-time processing performance for embedded applications ranging from autonomous navigation to AI-driven perception in robotics. Attendees will gain firsthand experience of how this hardware boost enhances frame rates, depth sensing accuracy, and overall system responsiveness.

• Isaac™ Sim Integration with Multiple Simulated Camera Models
  Simulation is a critical step in developing reliable robotics applications. Stereolabs now supports a range of highly realistic ZED camera models within NVIDIA’s Isaac™ Sim, an open-source reference framework built on NVIDIA Omniverse™ that enables developers to simulate and test AI-driven robotics solutions in physically based virtual environments. These enhancements enable developers to prototype and test perception algorithms using photorealistic simulations that accurately mimic sensor behavior under diverse conditions. Visitors can explore workflows that bridge simulation and real-world deployment, shortening development cycles and reducing risk.

• Isaac™ ROS with NITROS integrated into ZED ROS2 Wrapper
  The integration of Isaac™ ROS with the NITROS framework into the represents a major leap forward in efficiency and capability. This new integration harnesses GPU acceleration and high-speed data paths, enabling ultra-fast image processing, lower latency, and scalable multi-camera fusion. This allows robot developers to build sophisticated perception pipelines in ROS 2 with unprecedented performance, paving the way for complex tasks such as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), object recognition, and multi-robot coordination.
