Looking at an object with two eyes helps you judge distance. Two cameras can use a similar clue: their pictures differ slightly, and software can estimate how far away something is. On October 27, developers introduced a small board that connects up to five cameras. The cameras can be placed in different parts of a robot.

The board helps the cameras capture images at matching times. This is synchronization^[1]. Software can then recognize objects and estimate distance. Calibration^[2] means checking how each camera measures its surroundings so the pictures can be compared correctly. Combining these jobs on one board may make building a robot easier.

But five cameras do not automatically teach a robot to navigate any room or pick up any object safely. Motion software, measurement accuracy and speed still need testing. Different versions are expected to ship from November 2026 and early 2027. For reference, the board is called OAK 4 FFC.
