Rubik Pi 3 + ToF i200 Visionary Dev Kit for Robotics and 3D Perception

09. April 2026 | Planegg

The Rubik Pi 3 + ToF i200 Visionary Dev Kit is a development platform that combines edge AI processing with robust 3D depth sensing for demanding vision and robotics projects. The bundle brings together the Rubik Pi 3 from Thundercomm, based on the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ QCS6490 platform, and the industrial-grade ToF i200 3D camera from Meerecompany to address applications where reliable perception, spatial awareness, and fast validation are essential.

The combination of 12.5 TOPS AI performance and precise time-of-flight sensing with a range of up to 7 meters creates a solid foundation for systems that need to capture and process objects, distances, and environments in real time. This makes the kit particularly suitable for scenarios in which conventional sensing reaches its limits under changing lighting conditions or in outdoor deployments.

While the Rubik Pi 3 provides the computing power for local inference, image processing, and system integration, the ToF i200 adds sunlight-robust 3D perception for both indoor and outdoor environments. Developers gain a platform that supports efficient evaluation, prototyping, and further development toward series-ready robotics, automation, and vision applications.

Typical application areas include autonomous mobile robots, industrial 3D inspection and object detection, smart factory and Industry 4.0 applications, outdoor-capable vision systems, and prototyping for AI-powered products.

The Rubik Pi 3 features 8 GB LPDDR4x RAM, 128 GB UFS 2.2, support for Android 13, Qualcomm® Linux®, Debian 13, and Canonical Ubuntu for Qualcomm platforms, as well as extensive interfaces including USB 3.1, Gigabit Ethernet, M.2 Key M, and a 40-pin header. The ToF i200 camera complements this with VGA depth mapping, depth, amplitude, and point cloud data, USB and MIPI connectivity, and support for Linux, Windows, Android, ROS1, and ROS2.

This makes the Visionary Dev Kit suitable not only for technical evaluation, but also as a strong foundation for series-oriented development projects in robotics and industrial vision.
