About Stereolabs
The ZED platform combines calibrated camera hardware, embedded NVIDIA compute options and a common software layer for depth, positional tracking, mapping, object detection and multi-camera capture. Stereolabs sells USB and rugged GMSL2 stereo cameras, monocular ZED X One models and ZED Box edge computers, with technical documentation and SDK releases maintained for robot and physical-AI developers.
Founded in 2010, the San Francisco company became an Ouster subsidiary when the acquisition completed on 4 February 2026. It continues as Ouster’s stereo-vision and spatial-AI business, serving OEMs that integrate vision into mobile robots, manipulation systems, autonomous machines and data-collection platforms.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-10-22 - Capability - Advantech showcases UniCAM multi-camera integration on Jetson Thor
The demonstration combines Stereolabs ZED X and ZED X Nano, RealSense D457, Orbbec Gemini 335LG and Leopard Imaging ISX031 cameras. Robotic Suite detects supported cameras and manages shared hardware resources while preserving vendor SDKs and image-processing functions. Jetson Thor is the initial platform; Orin and other compute-platform support are expansion plans.
Source - 2026-10-07 - Capability - AVerMedia and Stereolabs integrate JetPack 7.2 support for ZED X vision
AVerMedia handles board-specific device trees, driver generation and validation, while Stereolabs maintains camera firmware, image processing and the ZED SDK. Reproducible Debian packages retain the driver, device tree, installation flow and kernel code used in production. Drivers can be regenerated for required JetPack and Linux versions; JetPack 7.2 also adds Yocto support for reproducible software images.
Source - 2026-08-18 - Partnership - Trossen integrates Stereolabs vision into Workbench and Rivet
Each platform combines one centre-mounted ZED X Mini with two wrist-mounted ZED X Nano cameras in a synchronized three-camera system. The Workbench and Rivet use dual WidowX Pro 6-DoF arms and onboard NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin 64GB compute. The integrated stack targets imitation learning, reinforcement learning and sim-to-real workflows through ROS 2 and NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab.
