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.”

Ouster shipped more than 1,460 sensors in the second quarter, which is an 342% increase year over year and a 49% increase over Q1.

The Puck is a compact LiDAR sensor that provides a 360-degree view with real-time 3D data and a 100 meter range.

The tool lets users select one or two 3D sensors to instantly analyze and compare minimum range, maximum range, horizontal field of view, vertical field of view, and diagonal field of view. You can also click and drag for different viewpoints.

SICK said the camera is designed for high-end inspection and precise localization duties when mounted on a robot arm.

American Robotics announce a partnership that fulfills the FAA requirements for the safe operation of drones beyond the line of sight.

The 3D time-of-flight depth sensor for AMRs and cobots offers a 360° x 60° field of view at 30fps.

Velodyne’s solid-state Velabit sensor now has approximately three times more points per second than the previous model.
