HAMPO Launches WiFi and Bluetooth Enabled Ego Camera Module for Untethered Embodied AI Data Collection
Dongguan Hampo Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (HAMPO) announced the launch of its USB-3372-V1.0 WiFi stereo ego camera module, a 2MP dual-global-shutter stereo vision module purpose-built for egocentric data collection, robot learning and embodied AI development.
The Growing Demand for First-Person Vision Data
Embodied AI systems do not learn from static images alone. To understand how humans and robots interact with the physical world, researchers need first-person (“ego”) perspective data — what the eye sees, how the head moves, and how the body responds. This has made wearable ego cameras an essential tool for robot learning, human activity capture and visual-inertial odometry research. Until recently, however, developers had to stitch together off-the-shelf cameras, IMUs and synchronization hardware on their own — a time-consuming and error-prone process that undermines data quality.
HAMPO’s Answer: A Fully Integrated WiFi Ego Camera Module
The USB-3372-V1.0 addresses this challenge with an integrated hardware and software platform designed for out-of-the-box egocentric data collection:
Synchronized dual global shutter cameras — 2MP stereo imaging (1600 x 1200) with accurate frame alignment, eliminating motion blur and rolling-shutter artifacts common in fast-moving ego capture.
Hardware-triggered synchronization — reliable left/right camera sync for trustworthy depth estimation and 3D vision.
Built-in 6-axis IMU — configurable 100/200/500 Hz sampling with hardware timestamps synchronized to camera frames, enabling robust visual-inertial fusion and SLAM-style algorithms.
Per-unit factory calibration — each module ships with a unique calibration file covering camera intrinsics and distortion coefficients (plus extrinsics where applicable), saving developers days of calibration work.
Flexible connectivity — USB 2.0, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in one module, supporting both tethered development and untethered field capture.
Onboard storage and portable power — designed for standalone recording during egocentric data collection in real-world environments.
Cross-platform SDK/API — native support for Windows, Linux and ROS for rapid integration into existing robotics and AI research stacks.
Built for Embodied AI and Robotics Research
The module is engineered for the full spectrum of first-person vision applications:
Robot learning and imitation learning data pipelines
Egocentric / first-person video capture for AI training datasets
Visual-inertial odometry (VIO) and visual-inertial SLAM
Human activity recognition and wearable computing
3D vision, depth estimation and stereo reconstruction
AR/VR and smart-glasses prototyping
Each unit is validated through a rigorous reliability program covering temperature cycling, drop, vibration and ESD testing, supporting dependable performance in both lab and field conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is an ego camera module?
An ego (egocentric) camera captures first-person perspective video and sensor data, typically worn on the head or wrist. It is widely used to collect training data for embodied AI, robot learning and human activity analysis.
Q2. Is the HAMPO ego camera module compatible with ROS?
Yes. The USB-3372-V1.0 provides a cross-platform SDK/API for Windows, Linux and ROS, allowing rapid integration into robotics research stacks.
Q3. What kind of image sensors does it use?
The module integrates dual 2MP global shutter cameras in a synchronized stereo configuration with M12 fixed-focus lenses, which minimizes motion blur for fast-moving ego capture.
Q4. Can the camera run wirelessly?
Yes. In addition to USB 2.0, the module supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and its power/storage design enables portable, untethered data collection in field environments. Confirm the exact battery and SD configuration for your build with the HAMPO sales team.
Q5. Do you support customization and OEM/ODM?
Yes. HAMPO provides OEM/ODM and contract manufacturing, covering lens, firmware, wireless configuration and packaging customization from concept to mass production.
