LIPS

Industrial 3D Vision and Edge AI for Robotics and Automation

A Taiwanese specialist in 3D vision and Edge AI, LIPS Corporation designs industrial 3D cameras integrating edge processing for real-time applications. Founded in 2013, the company has established itself as a global player in robotic vision platforms and Edge AI solutions, with a mission to give machines not only the ability to see, but also to perceive, understand, and act.

LIPS offers a comprehensive range of products and solutions, from 3D depth cameras (ToF, active stereo, structured light) to SDKs and middleware, as well as turnkey solutions for robotics and logistics. Its solutions are designed to withstand the most demanding industrial environments (rugged housings, secure M12 connectors, IP67 rating).

Technology and Ecosystem

LIPS’s strength lies in its “full-stack” approach, covering the entire value chain—from the 3D sensor to the business application.

  • Three 3D technologies: LIPS masters the three major 3D depth technologies: Time-of-Flight (ToF), active stereo, and structured light, enabling it to address all use cases, from short to long range, indoors and outdoors.

  • Edge AI integration: LIPS cameras integrate edge computing capabilities with native support for NVIDIA Jetson platforms (AGX Orin, Xavier NX) and the NVIDIA Isaac SDK, reducing latency and cloud dependency.

  • Open software ecosystem: LIPS provides comprehensive SDKs, middleware, and code samples, with guaranteed compatibility with industry-standard frameworks: ROS/ROS2, GenICam, OpenCV, OpenNI, as well as MVTec Halcon and Zebra Aurora Vision environments.

  • Rugged design: LIPSedge™ cameras are designed for industrial environments, featuring IP67 housings, M12 connectors, integrated thermal dissipation systems, and resistance to extreme temperatures.
