Configuration notes
  • The table above is a development recommendation based on the current driver and TRD1 G2A interface capability. It does not represent the actual configuration of any specific production robot.
  • Astra S56x and Astra S36 are stereo options that can be selected according to output format, shutter type, and application requirements.
  • The actual camera count and port allocation should be determined by robot structure, bandwidth budget, power design, and software configuration.

Solution Positioning

FROM REFERENCE DESIGN TO DEPLOYABLE VISION

From a real reference design to a reusable robot vision foundation

This case shows how SENSING visual perception capability can be integrated into a humanoid robot reference design with Jetson Thor as the compute core. Based on this project experience, SENSING further provides a vision development foundation centered on Jetson AGX Thor, TRD1 G2A, and GMSL2 camera modules, helping robot development teams reuse the full path from visual capture and platform adaptation to edge deployment.

Boundary between the case and the development foundation

Unitree H2 Plus and the NVIDIA Isaac GR00T humanoid robot reference design are the real application case introduced on this page. SENSING provides the visual perception solution in this reference case. The TRD1 G2A and SENSING camera combinations listed here describe a reusable vision development foundation and integration workflow; they do not represent the complete bill of materials of the H2 Plus robot.

Case Study: H2 Plus and Isaac GR00T

The humanoid robot reference design connects the robot body, compute and software stack, and visual perception into a unified development platform. SENSING focuses on the visual perception layer, providing camera modules, platform adaptation, and vision software support to deliver stable multi-view image input for robots.

Capability Loop from Perception to Operation

01

Multi-view capture

Head stereo vision, wide-angle vision, and hand ultra-wide vision jointly cover the environment and operation area.

02

Stable transmission and synchronization

GMSL2 coaxial links feed multiple camera streams into the compute platform and support multi-channel video hardware synchronization.

03

On-device understanding and inference

Jetson Thor receives visual streams and provides input for depth processing, recognition, and VLA models.

04

Fine manipulation

Stable visual input is connected to the robot software stack to support navigation, grasping, and autonomous decision-making.

Vision Development Foundation
