Autonomous vehicles are often described in terms of intelligence, decision-making, or artificial intelligence. In practice, however, autonomy rises or falls on a more fundamental capability: ...

LiDAR, short for light detection and ranging, sounds like the sort of made-up term you might find coming out of the mouth of an engineering officer on a fictional starship. It rolls off the tongue in ...

LiDAR sensors are usually the spinning cylinders that emit laser rays and analyze the reflections to map the environment for an autonomous vehicle. They are unwieldy mechanical devices that cost ...

Robotics technology that not only performs simple tasks but also supports humans in all their tasks is among the key technologies in industrial manufacturing. But this requires that robots be able to ...

Hesai will evaluate and validate its lidar platforms within this unified framework for functional safety, cybersecurity and AI compliance.

UC Berkeley researchers developed a more compact and higher-resolution light detection and ranging, or LiDAR, system, which is used by self-driving cars and other autonomous machines to detect ...

Once considered an essential part of the auto industry's high-tech future, lidar sensors are now often seen as optional components with uncertain prospects. The sensors, which use lasers to depict a ...

Hesai Group, the Shanghai-based sensor maker, shipped more than 500,000 automotive LiDAR units last year while cutting its ...

Lidar manufacturer Robosense is one of several Chinese vendors that are now supplying these laser-based sensors for several production automotive programs including the Lucid Air and now the new Lotus ...
