Title
This camera has been used as a vision system for a robot manipulator. It was essential to achieve object detection for the teaching phase of a Teaching by Demonstration learning system. The robot was controlled using ROS and thanks to the ROS wrapper of the Intel RealSense camera it was quickly integrated into the project. The camera was placed on a tripod facing the working surface
Pro
It has a ROS wrapper. It is a stereo camera that allows the creation of Point Cloud Data and the location of the points in the 3D space. It is easy to use and to integrate.
Con
When placed on a tripod it was unstable and it needed constant recalibration. It has to be connected with a USB type C wire, the one provided is relatively small.

Title
I used this camera for dynamic picking with a serial manipulator. The camera was used in the wrist of the manipulator, realizing an eye-in-hand robot configuration. I needed a small camera with depth measurements and easy to use.
Pro
It is compatible with ROS (Robot Operating System). It is a RGB-D camera and depth measurements are quite accurate over a certain distance. Good value for money.
Con
Depth measurements can be noisy with small distances.
