LIDAR

Hesai makes advanced lidar sensors, using solid-state technology to guide autonomous vehicles and humanoid robots.

FMCW lidar offers mobile robots better precision for navigation at scale in complex environments, says Voyant Photonics’ CEO.

Lidar maker Luminar has filed for Chapter 11 and plans to sell off its assets after Volvo terminated a key contract.

Lumotive has expanded with new leaders and new sites worldwide, meeting surging demand for its programmable optics platform.

Exwayz raised funding for its 3D SLAM navigation software for autonomous systems and has partnered with Embotech and Cyvl.ai.

Waymo also gave a look at how it has fortified its autonomous driver for operations winter weather conditions.

Unitree said its latest A2 quadruped robot can tackle more rugged terrain with greater perception capabilities than its previous robots.

Orbbec says its Pulsar ME450 sensor can switch scanning modes so that robots don’t need to switch between devices for navigation or 3D reconstruction.

Adverse weather isn’t just an edge case, but it’s also a core challenge for AV developers, according to Digital Divide Data.

The new MotionCam-3D Color (Blue) sensor enables more robust and accurate scanning for industrial applications, says Photoneo.

This week, Angus Pacala, co-founder and CEO of Ouster Lidar, discusses its latest safety features and 3D zone monitoring.

RoboSense says its new and incremental components will enable the development of industrial, commercial, and humanoid robots.

Voyant claimed that its Carbon sensor outperforms best-in-class time-of-flight lidar in operating through dust, fog, rain, and snow.

Mach9 has progressed from CMU research to tools to help the construction and infrastructure industries build and use 3D maps.

Serve Robotics has expanded Los Angeles deliveries and extended its Ouster lidar supply agreement, aiming for 2,000 deployments by 2025.

In this episode, we learn what’s new in the world of food manufacturing with Chef Robotics.

Users can compare maximum range, range at 10% reflectivity, angular resolution, and field of view for 28 LiDAR sensors from Hesai, Ouster, Quanergy, RoboSense, and Velodyne.

The new sensor from Lumotive uses the latest beamforming technology for industrial automation and service robotics.

SiLC says its new Eyeonic Mini AI machine vision system provides sub-millimeter resolution at a significantly reduced size.

As lidar becomes one of the leading technologies in the industry, it is important to understand all that goes into it.

Hesai and CRATUS will work together to release a series of drivers, middleware and end solutions centered around Hesai’s QT128 LiDAR sensors. 

The combined company has an intellectual property portfolio with 173 granted and 504 pending patents and a cash balance of over $315 million.
