Sunny Optical ranks 56 on the Humanoids 100 with a score of 63; Leopard Imaging ranks 88 with 53. Leopard Imaging is ahead on progress and leverage. Sunny Optical is ahead on deployment, production, commercials and firepower. Level on technology and positioning. Leopard Imaging is based in Fremont, United States, Sunny Optical in Ningbo, China. Leopard Imaging is named in 42 signals and Sunny Optical in 1.
Leopard Imaging and STMicroelectronics introduced an all-in-one multimodal vision module specifically targeting humanoid and advanced robotics, providing vision and depth perception.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Leopard Imaging designs embedded camera modules and AI imaging systems and is an NVIDIA Elite Partner and AWS Partner Network member, working with sensor vendors rather than building sensors itself. It supplies high-definition embedded cameras and AI imaging for automotive, aerospace, drones, IoT and robotics, including driver monitoring cameras and GMSL2 modules, with OEM and ODM services and a multi-year shipping history that anchors its Robotics-domain score. Its humanoid-domain entry is dated and specific: on 2026-03-16, announced at NVIDIA GTC, it introduced with STMicroelectronics an all-in-one multimodal vision module for humanoid and advanced robotics, combining the ST VB1940 automotive-grade RGB-IR 5.1-megapixel sensor with rolling and global shutter modes, an LSM6DSV16X six-axis IMU carrying the ST machine-learning core and Qvar electrostatic sensing, and a VL53L9CX direct time-of-flight LiDAR module for depth. It connects over NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge to Jetson and is supported by NVIDIA Isaac. The company scores in two domains: Robotics, on the longer-shipping automotive and robotics camera business, and Humanoids, on the newer March 2026 humanoid module, which had no pricing, availability or named humanoid customer at introduction.

16 facts on file.
Sunny Optical sells robotic vision products, including 3D cameras, modules and lidar, to humanoid and industrial robot makers through a dedicated robot-vision unit.
Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
Sunny Optical is a Chinese optics-module maker (HKEX:2382), a global top vision-module supplier whose camera and vision modules are positioned for robot perception by repurposing its handset and automotive optics base. It is verified-light on structural relevance (the Chinese optics duopoly with AAC feeding humanoid vision stacks), with no dated humanoid design win found, so momentum is scored low. Humanoid design wins and robotics-specific revenue are not disclosed.
