The DFRobot RGB-D 3D ToF Sensor Camera combines a color RGB camera with a Time-of-Flight depth sensor in a single USB 3.0 device, delivering synchronized depth maps, point clouds, and color frames for ROS-based robotics applications. With official ROS1 (Noetic) and ROS2 (Humble/Iron) driver packages, it drops directly into any ROS navigation or SLAM stack. Compatible with NVIDIA Jetson Nano, Raspberry Pi 4, and standard Linux PCs for indoor robot perception and 3D mapping. Specifications Sensor Technology: Time-of-Flight (ToF) depth + RGB color camera Depth Range: 0.3m to 5m (typical indoor range) Depth Resolution: Up to 640×480 depth pixels RGB Resolution: Up to 1080p (1920×1080) Frame Rate: 30fps depth + RGB Interface: USB 3.0 ROS Support: ROS1 (Noetic) + ROS2 (Humble/Iron) Output: Point cloud, depth map, RGB image, IR image Compatibility: Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, x86 PC SDK: Open-source SDK with ROS driver packages Key Features RGB-D sensor combines color image and depth data in a single device Official ROS1 and ROS2 driver support — drop into any ROS robotics stack Outputs registered point clouds (3D) and depth images for SLAM and navigation USB 3.0 interface for high-bandwidth, low-latency data transfer Ideal for indoor robot navigation, obstacle avoidance, and 3D mapping Compatible with NVIDIA Jetson Nano and Raspberry Pi 4 Open-source SDK with Python and C++ APIs Works with rviz2, MoveIt, and Nav2 out of the box Applications ROS robot navigation and autonomous path planning Indoor 3D SLAM mapping Obstacle detection and avoidance for mobile robots 3D scene reconstruction and mapping Gesture recognition and human-robot interaction Object detection with depth-based segmentation Drone altitude hold and ground detection Warehouse and logistics automation Package Includes 1x DFRobot RGB-D 3D ToF Sensor Camera 1x USB 3.0 cable Note: ROS driver and SDK available on GitHub. Host computer sold separately. FAQ Q: Which ROS versions are supported? A: ROS1 (Noetic) and ROS2 (Humble and Iron) with pre-built driver packages. Q: Can it work on Raspberry Pi 4? A: Yes — use USB 3.0 ports for sufficient bandwidth. A powered USB 3.0 hub may help. Q: What is the minimum depth range? A: Approximately 0.3m (30cm). Objects closer may not be detected accurately. Q: Can I get colored point clouds? A: Yes — the SDK provides registered RGB-D point clouds where each 3D point has an RGB color value. Q: Is it suitable for outdoor use? A: ToF cameras are affected by strong IR (direct sunlight). Primarily designed for indoor use.
