About Zivid

Zivid builds the 3D vision and motion technology that lets robots see and act on the world as it really is.
 
Our cameras and software help robots handle the complexity of real environments — across transparent, reflective, dark, and highly variable objects — so they can pick faster, operate more reliably, and perform with confidence.
 
We are not building complete robotic systems. We provide industry-leading 3D perception and motion technology that automation integrators and robotics companies rely on to solve real-world challenges in logistics, manufacturing, and e-commerce.
