John Deere launched the new autonomous tractor during CES 2022, with full automation for tillage operations on the farm.

The 50m LiDAR available for navigation and obstacle avoidance that is not limited by need for external reflectors.

Voyant Photonics is developing ultra-small LiDAR sensors for machine perception that offer performance comparable to larger, more expensive LiDAR solutions.

ACEINNA’s INS401 is an inertial navigation system with triple-redundant inertial sensors and positioning engine.

The company is proposing an innovative approach to vehicle guidance using sensors deployed within the environment, rather than just on the autonomous vehicles.

Part of what makes Waymo’s system successful is its millions of miles of real world and simulated driving experience.

New small and easy to use high precision GNSS module is one more option for AMR, AV and drone positioning.

Endeavor can connect up to eight 32-beam rotating sensors at one time.

ACEINNA’s ±65Amp current sensor joins ACEINNA’s current sensor family that includes ±50, ±20, and ±5 Amp ranges.

ABB is installing Sevensense’s autonomous navigation technology into its mobile robots.

Quanergy Systems’ new M1 Edge 2D LiDAR sensor has up to 8 evaluation fields, with up to three detection zones within each evaluation field.

Waymo’s robotaxis face unique challenges driving in San Francisco, where there’s a one in three chance of fog every day.

The Ouster DF series offers short, mid, and long-range LiDARs that create 3D point clouds up to 200 meters away on low reflective objects.

Modern car design offers many suitable options for mounting autonomous vehicle sensors. A Classic Austin Mini Cooper does not.

ATI said the Mini43LP is well suited for small delicate operations such as the assembly of electronic components or optics, product research and testing applications, laboratory automation, robotic surgery, and more.

Ouster is buying Sense Photonics to create a new division focused on low-cost, solid state automotive sensors.

In the end-of-life notice, Intel reiterated it will “continue to sell the stereo products to current distribution customers.”

MOV.ai and Velodyne deliver a complete navigation package for ROS-based AMR solutions.

“We’re winding down our commercial LiDAR business as we maintain our focus on developing and deploying our Waymo Driver across our Waymo One (ride-hailing) and Waymo Via (delivery) units.”

Intel now says the RealSense business unit is winding down and the LiDAR, Facial Authentication and Tracking product lines will reach end of life this month. However, most of the stereo products will “continue.”

RealSense has been a go-to for industry and academia for low-cost, high-quality depth sensing.

“We are winding down our RealSense business and transitioning our computer vision talent, technology and products to focus on advancing innovative technologies that better support our core businesses and IDM 2.0 strategy.”
