Reddit user showcases CAD and simulation of mini RGB+depth camera enclosure
2 reports · 2 sources
Reddit user u/No_Quail6685 showcased enclosure CAD and ray-casting simulation for a mini RGB + depth camera concept in r/robotics and r/humanoidrobotics, seeking community feedback. The concept targets close-range robotics experiments and data collection for humanoid manipulation demos. The Mini version measures 44 x 44 x 30 mm and is planned to use a Camera Module 3 + TMF8829 dToF, an IMU and an ESP32-P4; a separate Pi dev enclosure version also exists. The CAD and simulation were built with Claude's assistance, targeting hands and objects at 0.2–1 m. The poster explicitly states that hardware performance has not been verified, and that figures such as 97%/39% come from simulation rather than measurement; physical assembly, P4 camera support, calibration and synchronization remain untested. Depth resolution is 48 x 32 zones at a 15 Hz operating point, a relatively coarse depth trade-off.

- Prototype of a miniature RGB + depth recorder for humanoid robot manipulation demonstration capture
Reddit user /u/No_Quail6685 proposed a prototype of a miniature RGB + depth recorder for capturing humanoid robot manipulation demonstrations. The Mini version measures 44 x 44 x 30 mm and integrates a Camera Module 3, TMF8829 dToF, an IMU, and an ESP32-P4. Its depth target is a 48 x 32 region at 15 Hz, for hands and objects at a distance of 0.2-1 m.
