As the global tech industry enters a massive boom in "Physical AI" and autonomous robotics, the demand for spatial awareness, all-weather night vision, and real-time obstacle avoidance in drones and automated guided vehicles (AGVs/AMRs) has seen breakthrough growth. Altek Corporation, a leading expert in edge AI vision, today announced that it will showcase its latest "Comprehensive Drone and Robotics Vision Solutions" at the upcoming Computex 2026.

Seizing Edge Vision Opportunities with "Hardware-to-AI" Full Integration

Leveraging its end-to-end integration capabilities spanning from hardware design to AI algorithms, Altek’s new core vision systems are fully powered by the Qualcomm Dragonwing high-performance system platform. By combining Qualcomm’s cutting-edge edge computing chips with Altek’s proprietary high-performance image processing boards and premium camera modules, the solution unlocks the perception limits of drones and autonomous vehicles in highly complex environments.

All-Weather Dynamic Vision: 0.2 Lux Ultra-Low Light AI Detection

In 2026, application scenarios for drones and robots are rapidly shifting toward extreme conditions and 24/7 operations. The Payload Vision Integrated System showcased by Altek features a powerful dual-lens configuration: an RGB visible light camera paired with a Thermal IR camera, delivering exceptional image stabilization and dynamic performance.

  • 0.2 Lux Ultra-Low Light Vision: Designed for nighttime or extremely dark environments, the system delivers crystal-clear imaging in darkness where the human eye can see almost nothing, successfully identifying targets from over 100 meters away.

  • Sensor Fusion & Enhanced Resolution: By fusing thermal imaging technology with Altek’s proprietary AI image recognition algorithms, the system provides full-stack capability—from low-level sensor integration and image processing to high-level AI analysis. Furthermore, the AI algorithms significantly enhance image resolution, empowering drones with precise detection and enhanced environmental awareness for around-the-clock security patrolling and search-and-rescue missions.

Debut of Dual Obstacle Avoidance Tech: ToF and RGB-D

To mitigate collision risks during high-speed movement, Altek has engineered industry-leading dual-track obstacle avoidance solutions tailored for various application scenarios:

  • ToF (Time of Flight) Solution: Utilizes time-of-flight technology for rapid distance calculation. Featuring stable, ultra-low latency depth-sensing capabilities, it is the optimal choice for scenarios requiring split-second reactions and real-time obstacle avoidance, such as high-speed maneuvers and indoor flight.

  • RGB-D (Depth Vision) Solution: Combines RGB imagery with depth information to simultaneously output high-quality visible light images and precise depth maps. This solution is purpose-built for complex 3D vision applications, including high-precision spatial recognition, AI visual path planning, and object detection.

Showcasing Six Core Demo Kits at Computex 2026

Altek will feature six core Demo Kits at its booth, showcasing live demonstrations of:

  1. AI Vision Gimbal

  2. Starlight RGB Camera

  3. Thermal IR Camera

  4. ToF Depth Camera

  5. RGB-D Camera

  6. AI Boost LWIR Thermal

The live demonstrations will highlight low-light imaging, thermal object recognition, real-time RGB + Depth output, 3D depth sensing, and AI-powered image enhancement, allowing visitors to witness firsthand Altek’s seamless integration capabilities in drone and robotics vision applications.

Altek stated that it will continue to collaborate with global clients in the drone, robotics, and autonomous equipment sectors, providing highly integrated, customizable, and production-ready AI vision platforms to help customers accelerate their deployment in the rapidly growing Physical AI market.
