About
About Roboception
Roboception develops stereo 3D sensors and applied-AI perception software for autonomous robot work. Roboception couples rc_visard stereo cameras and onboard compute with rc_reason modules for CAD matching, item picking, box picking, SLAM and tag detection. The Munich company provides robot interfaces, test installations and a knowledge base for integrating perception into flexible industrial automation.
Its current documentation covers product selection, system integration and support for automation integrators, with applications and configuration limits tied to the relevant hardware or software family.

Events
- 2024-06-12 - Acquisition - Basler acquires a 25.1 percent stake in Roboception
Basler acquired 25.1 percent of Roboception as part of a strategic investment and capital increase. The companies said they would expand their 3D solutions business for factory automation, robotics, and logistics. This is the anchor ownership and financing event for Roboception and matches the existing Basler relationship trail.
Source - 2024-06-12 - Acquisition - Basler acquires 25.1% stake in Roboception to expand 3D solutions business for factory automation, robotics, and logistics
Basler acquired a 25.1 percent stake in Roboception to deepen their existing cooperation in 3D vision. The companies said the move was aimed at expanding the 3D solutions business across factory automation, robotics, and logistics. The deal is a meaningful perception-stack consolidation step rather than a generic financial investment.
Source - 2023-11-01 - Product Launch - Roboception launches the rc_visard NG 3D stereo vision platform
Roboception launched rc_visard NG as the next generation of its 3D stereo vision platform for flexible robotic automation. The company highlighted increased computing power and on-board UserSpace to support more adaptable robot-vision applications. The launch marked a meaningful product step for Roboception''s robotics-focused perception platform.
Source - 2023-06-27 - Partnership - Roboception collaborates with voraus robotik on integrated 3D perception and robot operating software
Roboception announced a collaboration with voraus robotik combining application-oriented 3D perception with a generic robot operating system. At Automatica 2023, the companies demonstrated a vision-guided pick-and-place application using Roboception perception and voraus robotik software. The collaboration is a discrete robotics integration event rather than a generic trade-show mention.
Source - 2023-01-01 - Partnership - Roboception joins the Franka ecosystem
Roboception said its vision solutions became part of the Franka ecosystem, linking its 3D robot-vision stack with a broader collaborative-robot software and application environment. The move positioned Roboception more directly inside robot-deployment workflows rather than as a standalone vision component vendor. This is a clean robotics-specific ecosystem partnership event supported by the company''s own timeline.
