Robot stereo and depth camera evidence table
Range, resolution, transport and timing claims without collapsing unlike camera architectures.
Maximum range, ideal range, optimal range and accuracy-tested range are not interchangeable.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Published rangeRange wording and conditions are preserved. | 0.6–6 mMManufacturer-described ideal range; not a hard detection limit.Source ↗ | 0.10–20+ mMOptimal range 0.26–3 m; manufacturer also states a theoretical maximum up to 65 m.Source ↗ | UnknownNo adequate published value in the selected source set. | Short 0.3–1.5; long 0.3–10 mMSeparate short- and long-range modes.Source ↗ |
| Resolution / frame rateMode combinations matter. | 1280 × 720 up to 30 fps; 848 × 480 up to 90 fpsMMaximum frame rate depends on resolution.Source ↗ | 1280 × 800 @ 30 fpsMMaximum published depth mode.Source ↗ | 1920 × 1200 @ 60 fps; 960 × 600 @ 120 fpsMThe two maxima are separate operating modes.Source ↗ | 640 × 480 at 20 fps default / 30 fps FastModeMFastMode changes the operating mode; it is not the default.Source ↗ |

| Timing / syncFeature support is not proof of achieved multi-sensor timing. | Bosch BMI055 IMU; multi-camera use describedMProduct page does not turn this into a universal host-level synchronization guarantee.Source ↗ | Depth/color sync, multi-device sync and hardware trigger supportedMHost, cable and SDK configuration still determine achieved timing.Source ↗ | External frame syncMIntegration details depend on host hardware and cable topology.Source ↗ | PTP IEEE 1588, hardware trigger, software trigger, free runMMulti-camera operation is supported, but achieved timing depends on network and configuration.Source ↗ |
Values are transcribed from the linked sources and were checked on the date shown by each record. V = independently verified; M = manufacturer claimed; D = RCI derived; C = conflicting; U = unknown.
Interpretation rule
The condition belongs to the number.
RCI does not compute winners from this audit sample. The table’s purpose is to show what can be compared now, what requires a shared test, and which public fields are still missing.
