On October 13, 2025, Hangzhou News Broadcast aired a special segment titled “Driving Reform with Innovation”. Breaking Monopolies with Self-Developed Technologies, Empowering the Real Economy with Digital Solutions, and Exploring the Hangzhou Approach to New Industrialization. It highlighted the world’s first pure vision-based humanoid robot, VersaBot, jointly developed by MRDVS and VMR. This robot is designed to meet the intelligent needs of industrial, logistics, and other complex scenarios, combining advanced 3D vision solutions with a flexible motion control system to efficiently handle tasks such as material grasping, path navigation, and real-time obstacle avoidance. The successful launch of the VersaBot humanoid robot is attributed to the deep collaboration with MRDVS. Leveraging MRDVS’s 3D vision technology, the VersaBot robot achieves key functions such as high-precision grasping, autonomous navigation, and intelligent obstacle avoidance, enabling flexible operation in multiple scenarios and ensuring safe and efficient task execution.
Autonomous Navigation and Path Planning: Deep Support from Visual SLAM
Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance Solution: Ensuring Safety in Human-Robot Collaboration
In the path planning and navigation process, the VersaBot humanoid robot relies on MRDVS’s S-series visual SLAM camera to ensure precise autonomous navigation in complex and changing environments. SLAM technology equips the robot with simultaneous localization and mapping capabilities, allowing it to quickly adapt and complete tasks even in narrow spaces or dynamic areas.
Highlights of the Visual SLAM Solution
- Real-time Localization and Mapping: Through high-precision visual data, the VersaBot robot can construct environmental maps and plan paths in real time.
- 45-Meter Perception Range: The visual SLAM solution supports a perception distance of 45 meters, providing robust support for long-range navigation in large warehouses and complex workshops.
- Flexible Response to Dynamic Scenarios: Even in densely populated or equipment-intensive environments, it can quickly respond, ensuring stable and flexible path planning for the robot.
When sharing workspace with workers and other equipment, the VersaBot humanoid robot adopts an intelligent obstacle avoidance solution based on the S-series RGB-D visual sensor. This solution provides the robot with comprehensive 3D environmental perception and semantic recognition capabilities, ensuring intelligent decision-making and obstacle avoidance to guarantee the safety of collaborative operations.
Highlights of the Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance Solution
- Semantic Recognition and Intelligent Avoidance: The S-series visual obstacle avoidance sensor, combined with semantic recognition algorithms, enables the robot to identify the category and feature of obstacles and intelligently choose detour or stop strategies based on actual conditions, effectively avoiding risks and preventing collisions.
- Multi-modal Perception Capability: By fusing RGB and depth data, the robot achieves wide-angle perception, accurately judging the surrounding environment even in complex lighting scenarios.
- Anti-interference Design: The intelligent obstacle avoidance solution ensures stable operation in multi-robot collaborative environments, avoiding perception errors caused by signal interference.
Ensuring Precise Grasping: H-series Structured Light Camera Enhances Material Handling Capability
The VersaBot humanoid robot integrates the MRDVS H-series structured light camera for material grasping and manipulation, providing high-precision operation capabilities in complex scenarios. With the support of 3D point cloud data, the H-series camera enables the robot to successfully complete grasping tasks even when faced with irregular or stacked objects.
Highlights of the H-series Structured Light Camera Solution
- Sub-millimeter Precision: The H-series camera supports sub-millimeter 3D positioning, ensuring precise grasping every time.
- Complex Object Recognition: Even with complex object shapes, the robot can accurately determine the shape and posture of items, improving grasping success rates.
- Anti-light Interference: The H-series camera remains stable in complex lighting workshop environments, providing reliable support for high-intensity operations.
The successful launch of the VersaBot humanoid robot not only demonstrates the deep collaboration between VMR and MRDVS in robotics technology but also highlights the critical role of 3D vision solutions in intelligent upgrades. With multi-level support based on SLAM navigation, intelligent obstacle avoidance, and high-precision grasping, the VersaBot robot showcases exceptional task execution capabilities and environmental adaptability.
Looking ahead, VersaBot Robotics will further expand its application fields, driving intelligent transformation in industry, healthcare, education, and public services. The continuous innovation of MRDVS and VMR will also provide more stable, secure, and intelligent robotic solutions for more enterprises and society, leading the new era of comprehensive intelligence.
