At ROSCon JP 2026 in Tsukuba, Orbbec unveiled in Japan for the first time a data collection platform that records real-world video and movement without using a robot. It demonstrated Dual-Ego, equipped with 2-megapixel fisheye cameras, and showed how video and movement data can be synchronized within 1 millisecond.
Orbbec unveiled at ROSCon JP 2026 the first data collection platform in Japan capable of simultaneously recording real-world video and human movements without using a robot. The prototype, Dual-Ego, is equipped with two 2-megapixel fisheye cameras and weighs approximately 200 g.
The data is intended for developing “Physical AI,” in which robots perceive their surroundings and select actions. The platform is centered on 3 devices: EGO, which records the operator’s point of view; WristCam, which records movements around the wrist; and UMI, which is held and operated by hand. The configuration can be changed according to the application and scale.
Dual-Ego is equipped with a 6-axis IMU and records movement at up to 1,000 Hz. By synchronizing video and movement data within 1 millisecond, it can record corresponding information on when a person reaches out, the direction they are facing and the timing of object manipulation. Orbbec also anticipates improving data quality through a combination of its core EGO RGB-D product and LingBot-Depth, which supplements depth data.
Orbbec said it plans to provide not only standard products but also joint development and mass-production support, and has manufacturing operations in China and Vietnam. It also introduced adoption examples including Hitachi, Ltd.’s CO-URIBA and an autonomous transport robot for hospitals developed by a Japanese automaker.
