| | | Module Sports Qualcomm’s Robotics-Focused QRB5165 SoC |
| Lantronix has announced its Open-Q 5165RB, a tiny (50mm x 29mm) production-ready compute module based on Qualcomm’s QRB5165 SoC. The QRB5165 is a robotics-oriented variant of the Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865. Along with the module, Lantronix has rolled out the Open-Q 865 SOM development kit as a companion to the Open-Q 5165RB SOM. |

| | | Small 3D Stereo Depth Sensing Camera for Robotics |
| eCapture has introduced what it claims is the smallest form factor stereoscopic 3D depth sensing camera. The new LifeSense G53 measures 50mm x 14.9mm x 20 mm and is designed for depth capture and object tracking for industrial, robotics and other applications driven by AI. eCapture plans to introduce a full range of depth map cameras to address the growing need for stereo imaging equipment over the next quarter. |

| | | RPi 4 Based Mobile Bot Features Optional 6-DoF Arm |
| In May, Elephant Robotics launched a $699, six-axis manipulation bot called the MyCobot Pi, which is built around a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. Now the company has given its robot arm some wheels in the form of a MyAGV autonomous ground vehicle (AGV), which houses its own RPi 4B. When the $699 mobile bot is equipped with an MyCobot arm, the system is billed as the smallest, 6-DoF compound robot. |
