As Physical AI adoption accelerates, demand for Ouster's Stereolabs business is increasing. This suggests that investment potential depends not just on robot volume but also on the perception hardware per unit, benefiting suppliers of cameras and lidar." datetime: "2026-08-20T15:55:05.000Z" locales: - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/296516027.md) - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296516027.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/296516027.md) generator: "portal-rs" --- # QUICK SPARK: Nvidia Partner Ouster Says Humanoid Robots Could Need Up to 12 Cameras Each As excitement builds around humanoid robots, **NVIDIA Corp** (NASDAQ:NVDA) partner **Ouster, Inc.** (NASDAQ:OUST) says investors may be overlooking one important piece of the opportunity: how much sensing hardware each robot could require. **• NVIDIA stock is showing positive momentum. Where are NVDA shares going?** In an exclusive email interview with Benzinga, Ouster CEO and co-founder **Angus Pacala** said the company’s Stereolabs business is seeing demand accelerate as Physical AI adoption gains momentum. “We’re in the early days of the growth cycle in Physical AI,” Pacala said, noting that robotics — including manipulation systems, autonomous industrial platforms, drones and humanoids — is “scaling faster than anything we’ve seen in the last decade.” ## **More Than Just One Robot, One Sensor** Pacala said customers are deploying “as many as six to 12 cameras for humanoids” and are “increasingly layering in lidar for safety and navigation,” creating what he described as “a massive, durable unit volume opportunity.” His comments suggest the investment opportunity may depend not only on how many humanoid robots eventually reach the market, but also on the amount of perception hardware each machine requires to operate safely. If future humanoids rely on multiple cameras alongside lidar, suppliers of those technologies could see demand scale with every robot deployed. **Read Also: Humanoid Robots Still a Decade Away From Their ‘ChatGPT Moment,’ Unitree Founder Says After Blockbuster IPO Debut** *Shutterstock* ### Related Stocks - [OUSTZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/OUSTZ.US.md) - [OUST.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/OUST.US.md) - [OUSTW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/OUSTW.US.md) - [NVDA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [NVDS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDS.US.md) - [NVDU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDU.US.md) - [NVDQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDQ.US.md) - [NVD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.US.md) - [NVDB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDB.US.md) - [NVDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDD.US.md) - [NVDG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDG.US.md) - [NVDL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDL.US.md) - [NVDO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDO.US.md) - [NVDW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDW.US.md) - [NVDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDY.US.md) - [NVYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVYY.US.md) - [NYYY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NYYY.US.md) - [NVDX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVDX.US.md) - [DIPS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DIPS.US.md) - [MAGX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MAGX.US.md) - [07788.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07788.HK.md) - [07388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07388.HK.md) - [09388.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09388.HK.md) - [688836.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/688836.CN.md) - [NVD.DE](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NVD.DE.md) - [OUST+.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/OUST+.US.md) - [OUST+A.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/OUST+A.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Ouster partners with GeoCue to integrate Rev8 OS1 Max lidar into TrueView drone mapping payloads](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297773760.md) - [Jensen Huang: Nvidia’s Vera Rubin Platform Turns Electricity Into a $40 Billion Cash Machine](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297688917.md) - [Nvidia Stock (NVDA) Rises as Analysts Hail 'Strategically Valuable' $12.93B Hugging Face Acquisition](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298032106.md) - [HBW Advisory Services LLC Boosts Stock Holdings in NVIDIA Corporation $NVDA](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297612454.md) - [OneRail launches AI platform with Nvidia for retailers to make faster delivery decisions](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297640650.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
