INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
But getting a lidar unit from theory to mass production might be harder than coming up with the theory in the first place
Sense Photonics appears to have made it past that part of the journey, and is now offering its advanced flash lidar for pre-order.Lidar
different strengths.While Luminar and some other companies aim to create a forward-facing lidar that can detect shapes hundreds of feet
ahead in a relatively narrow field of view, Sense is going after the short-range, wide-angle side of things
slice of the surroundings and get accurate detection of things like animals, kids and bikes quickly and accurately
But I went through all this when they came out of stealth.The news today is that these units have gone from prototype to production design
The devices have been ruggedized so they can be attached outside of enclosures even in dusty or rainy environments
And performance has been improved, bumping the maximum range in some cases out to more than 40 meters, well over what was promised
large amount by lidar standards, and in higher fidelity than other flash lidars out there
You do give up some other properties in return for the wide view, though
designing around the things easier (if not exactly easy).Obviously if people are meant to order these online from the company these are not
