Overview
The Stereolabs ZED Box is a compact, fanless embedded mini-PC built around NVIDIA Jetson Orin modules and purpose-designed for 3D perception and robotics at the edge. It pairs a low-profile Jetson-optimized carrier board with a rugged aluminium chassis and native GMSL2 camera inputs, so a single box can capture synchronized stereo vision, run modern neural networks and process depth data in real time entirely on-device.
Three processor configurations cover the range from entry-level to high-throughput robotics: Orin Nano 8GB at 40 TOPS, Orin NX 8GB at 70 TOPS and Orin NX 16GB at 100 TOPS — all sharing the same 152.8 x 103.8 x 41.5 mm enclosure, 256GB NVMe SSD and the same I/O layout. The ZED Box Mini strips the design down to two GMSL2 inputs and 12V DC power for cost-sensitive, large-scale fleet deployments, while the Mini Carrier Board supplies the same core without a casing for direct integration into machines.
On the software side the ZED Box ships pre-integrated with the ZED SDK and verified compatibility across the entire ZED camera family. ZED SDK 5.0 with the Terra AI foundation model delivers up to 4x faster vision AI processing on Orin Nano and NX, and onboard GMSL2-to-Ethernet conversion can stream low-latency video over 100 metres — useful for separating compute from the camera head on autonomous machines.
Key Benefits
Native GMSL2 stereo capture with hardware synchronization and frame-sync trigger I/O for multi-sensor rigs. Turnkey 3D perception stack — pre-installed drivers, ZED SDK and verified camera compatibility cut integration work to a minimum. Rugged, fanless industrial design in a 600 g aluminium chassis rated for 24/7 operation from -20°C to +50°C. Low-latency video over Ethernet extends camera reach to 100 m without host-side capture hardware. Three performance tiers, one mechanical envelope so a design can scale from prototypes to fleets without re-engineering.
Applications
Intelligent vision and sensor fusion for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and AGVs; motion capture and digital twin capture; people counting and volume measurement in logistics; agricultural and off-highway machine perception; industrial 3D inspection; drone and delivery robot navigation.
