Depth camera
A camera that measures how far away each thing it sees is, not only what it looks like. Unitree lists one on its robots without naming the model. On the G1 EDU, Unitree's US distributor names it as the Intel RealSense D435i.

Strengths and trade-offs
Our analysisStrengths
Gives the robot distance as well as a picture.
Good at arm's length, where hands do their work.
Small and cheap next to a laser scanner.
Trade-offs
Loses accuracy quickly with distance.
Sunlight, glass and shiny surfaces confuse it.
Only sees what is in front of it.
Why robot makers choose it
Our readTo pick something up, a robot must know exactly how far away it is. A depth camera answers that at close range for little money, which a laser scanner on the head cannot do well.
This is our reasoning from the public facts. No maker has confirmed it.
