Husarion DepthAI2.12.2-20260930

On Husarion robots, Husarion DepthAI connects Luxonis OAK-x depth cameras to ROS 2 and publishes their vision data for other robot software to consume. It provides RGB frames as raw images or as hardware-encoded H.264 video, leaving approximately no host CPU load for the encoding work. Compatible stereo OAK cameras can also supply metric depth and an H.264 preview of the disparity image.

A separate point-cloud setting turns on depth automatically and exposes 3D spatial data for perception and navigation tasks. Camera controls cover RGB frame rate, resolution, bitrate, IMU data, infrared projection and lighting, RGB rectification, USB startup delay, and the IP address used by PoE cameras. ROS settings include the namespace, domain ID, transport, and available middleware choices.

The driver checks selected options against the camera model and immediately rejects unsupported combinations, such as requesting depth from an OAK-1, with an explanation. It runs on Linux with snapd on x86_64 (amd64) systems and is open-source. The software is packaged as a snap, with post-install handling for interfaces that snapd does not automatically connect during sideloaded installations.

A camera model must be selected before startup, while the connected hardware is autodetected for validation and Husarion cockpit metadata. Used beside a rosbot snap, it automatically joins the Husarion cockpit agent chain and adopts the available ROS network configuration. Version 2.12.2-20260930 suits developers and operators building Husarion robots that need camera streams, depth, or point clouds in ROS 2 applications.
