Goobuy Expands Physical AI Vision Portfolio to Medical, Retail, and ITS Sectors

Responding to NVIDIA’s "Physical AI" roadmap, Goobuy releases dedicated sensor solutions for the 2026 Edge AI explosion.

SHENZHEN, Jan 20, 2026 — While the world watches humanoid robots, a quieter revolution is happening in hospitals, retail stores, and smart cities. Following Jensen Huang’s CES 2026 declaration that "AI is moving from the cloud to the edge," Shenzhen Novel Electronics limited (Goobuy) today announced the expansion of its Physical AI Vision Series to empower the next generation of embedded smart devices.

"Physical AI is not limited to things with legs, Any device that perceives and makes decisions in the real world—from a surgical endoscope to a smart traffic camera—is part of this revolution. And they all suffer from the same bottleneck: Legacy Vision Hardware."

To address this, Goobuy is mapping its three flagship technologies to the three fastest-growing Physical AI sectors for 2026-2029:

1. For AI Medical & Bio-Tech: The UC-501 Micro Series

As medical diagnostics move from labs to handheld devices powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, space is the ultimate constraint.

• ** The Problem:** Standard cameras are too bulky for portable AI scopes.
• ** The Solution:** Goobuy UC-501 Micro USB Camera. With an ultra-compact footprint and micro-optics, it brings "Clinical-Grade Eyes" to handheld Physical AI devices without compromising thermal performance.

2. For Frictionless Retail: The Global Shutter Series

Smart vending machines and cashier-less checkout systems track human hands moving at 2m/s.

• ** The Problem:** Rolling shutter cameras produce the "Jello Effect," causing AI to misidentify products during rapid grab-and-go interactions.
• ** The Solution:** Goobuy AR0234/OV9281 Global Shutter USB Camera Modules. These sensors freeze motion instantly, ensuring 99.9% recognition accuracy for retail loss prevention algorithms.

3. For Intelligent Traffic (ITS): The STARVIS Night Vision Series

Cities are replacing expensive LiDAR with "Vision-Only" enforcement nodes.

• ** The Problem:** Conventional sensors go blind in low-light urban environments.
• ** The Solution:** Goobuy’s Sony STARVIS 2 usb camera Modules. Delivering superior low-light sensitivity and HDR, these sensors enable Physical AI to read license plates and detect pedestrians in near-total darkness, advancing the "Vision Zero" safety goal.

"The era of Physical AI requires a hardware overhaul across every industry," added Art Huang. "Whether it's a robot, a kiosk, or a medical probe, Goobuy provides the specialized eyes that make Edge AI possible."
