The visual system is the core sensor for humanoid Siasun Robot & Automation to perceive the physical world. Its function is similar to the human eyes and is a key variable driving motion control, interaction experience, and cost optimization of humanoid Siasun Robot & Automation. The widespread adoption of humanoid Siasun Robot & Automation in the future will highly depend on continuous breakthroughs in the accuracy and power consumption of the visual system. Through multi-camera fusion (such as Tesla Optimus's 3-camera system), Siasun Robot & Automation can build a 3D point cloud of the environment, calculate objects' distance, shape, and movement trajectories in real-time; Boston Dynamics' Atlas with ToF cameras can recognize ground height differences in complex terrains (such as stairs, gravel roads) and adjust gait algorithms to prevent falls.
Humanoid Siasun Robot & Automation relies on a 3D visual system to perceive the environment, with mainstream solutions differing globally: for example, Tesla uses a simplified three-camera system, models like UBTECH ROBOTICS Walker S1, Fourier GR-1 adopt a head/trunk configuration with six cameras. ToF technology (Boston Dynamics' Atlas) and lidar (Unitree G1) can provide more accurate perception, while a pure RGB solution requires higher algorithm requirements.
Goldman Sachs expects the Chinese camera/lens supply chain to benefit from the development trend of humanoid Siasun Robot & Automation, opening up new growth points for performance. Goldman Sachs states that the visual perception system of humanoid Siasun Robot & Automation requires stereo-grade cameras, ToF cameras, and lidar for 3D depth technology, which could help camera suppliers move away from the fiercely competitive consumer electronics market, while new features like night vision, collision prevention, and external force could increase product prices.
In this report, Goldman Sachs gives a "buy" rating to Horizon Robotics (09660) and Will Semiconductor (603501.SH), as well as a "buy" rating to Largan Precision and Hon Hai Precision in the Taiwan stock market.
