Cepton, Exwayz Team Up for Lidar-Based Mobile Robotics Solutions

Lidar technology company Cepton is collaborating with Exwayz to demonstrate lidar-based perception solutions for mobile robotics applications. Exwayz provides plug-and-play perception software to enable lidar-based 3D mapping, localization, and re-localization, as well as object detection and classification. Per the collaboration, the companies intend to provide an immediate solution aimed at expediting integration processes for global customers.

The collaboration marks the second formed by Cepton this fall, following the company’s announcement six weeks ago that it is working with LidarSwiss Solutions GmbH to deploy its lidar technology in a drone-based mapping and analytics solution to support infrastructure management and engineering design applications. Also this fall, Cepton entered into a binding investment agreement for a $100 million investment from its automotive Tier 1 partner and shareholder, Koito Manufacturing Co. Ltd.
