Ouster, Inc. introduced the Stereolabs ZED X Nano, a wrist‑mount stereo camera that is 40 % shorter in height than comparable solutions and delivers 1920×1200 global‑shutter imaging at up to 120 fps. The camera’s Neural Depth Engine provides sub‑millimeter depth accuracy along the Z‑axis while maintaining precise lateral positioning, enabling real‑time perception, segmentation, and policy inference on the same frames with minimal latency.
The ZED X Nano is engineered for industrial durability. It incorporates an onboard vibration‑proof IMU and an industrial‑grade GMSL2 connection that replaces fragile USB‑C cables, supporting up to 15 m of video transmission with EMI resistance and locking connectors. These features allow the camera to withstand repetitive robotic arm motions and harsh factory environments.
The product builds on Ouster’s flagship ZED X line and is a direct result of the company’s February 2026 acquisition of Stereolabs. The integration of Stereolabs’ AI vision expertise with Ouster’s broader sensing platform aligns with the company’s “Physical AI” strategy, expanding its presence in industrial robotics and complementing its lidar portfolio.
The ZED X Nano is positioned to accelerate high‑throughput data collection, imitation learning, and robotic manipulation. While pricing details are not yet disclosed, the camera is expected to compete with established players such as Luminar, Innoviz, Velodyne, and Cognex by offering a smaller form factor and low‑latency processing that is critical for edge‑based machine learning.
Ouster’s Q4 2025 earnings highlighted strong product revenue growth, and the launch of the ZED X Nano is anticipated to contribute to the company’s 30‑50 % annual revenue growth target. CEO Angus Pacala emphasized the strategic importance of the new camera, stating, “Building on Stereolabs leadership in AI vision and perception solutions, the ZED X Nano allows us to go deeper into the industrial and robotics markets to win new sockets that require smaller form‑factor placements.” He added, “The future of Physical AI depends on massive amounts of high‑quality, low‑latency image data collected at the edge. With the ZED X Nano, we’re giving roboticists a major upgrade to their vision systems, enabling machines to sense, think, act, and learn with unprecedented precision.”
Pre‑orders for the ZED X Nano are available now, with shipping scheduled to begin in May 2026.
