RobotPan. A 360° surround-view robotic vision system for real-time rendering, reconstruction, and streaming.
RobotPan is a surround-view robotic vision system engineered for real-time embodied perception. Integrating six RGB cameras and a central LiDAR, the system achieves full 360° visual coverage during complex robot operations. From calibrated sparse multi-view observations, RobotPan predicts metric-scaled and compact 3D Gaussians. This advanced representation directly enables real-time surround-view rendering, novel view synthesis, metric depth estimation, and sparse-view dense reconstruction. By jointly ensuring strict geometric consistency and real-time rendering performance, the system serves as a highly practical visual interface for humanoid robots across teleoperation, navigation, and loco-manipulation tasks.

Right: Orthographic projections of the head-mounted sensing system. The diagrams illustrate a compact sensor arrangement featuring a central LiDAR and a ring of six RGB cameras distributed at 60-degree intervals. This layout is designed to provide comprehensive 360-degree panoramic coverage for robot visual perception.
We evaluate RobotPan across diverse real-world scenarios covering navigation, manipulation, and locomotion. From calibrated sparse-view inputs captured by the surround-view system, RobotPan produces compact 3D Gaussians for real-time 360° rendering, novel view synthesis, and metric-scale depth estimation. The following results demonstrate the system's performance in representative scenes.
