This is the second consecutive year the company has won the award. The company won this year’s CES 2020 Innovation Award for the first MEMS-based smart lidar sensor, the RoboSense RS-LiDAR-M1, in the Vehicle Intelligence and Self-Driving Technology category.

The product is a MEMS-based smart lidar sensor for self-driving vehicles with its own embedded AI algorithm technologies and SoC (system on a chip). The system is able to collect and interpret high-definition 3D point cloud data and process road data in real time using the built in AI algorithm and SoC, while simultaneously synchronizing high-precision positioning output, road traffic signage, lane markings, driving areas, road curbs, and obstacle detection, tracking, and classification.

The CES Innovation Awards are sponsored by the Consumer Technology Association. For a full list of CES 2020 honorees, visit www.ces.tech/innovation.

There are 754 suppliers of Sensors & Detectors in the Photonics Marketplace.

Glossary

lidar: Lidar, short for light detection and ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape and characteristics of objects and surfaces. Lidar systems typically consist of a laser scanner, a GPS receiver, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), all integrated into a single system. Here is how lidar works: Laser emission: A laser emits laser pulses, often in the form of rapid and repetitive laser...
artificial intelligence: The ability of a machine to perform certain complex functions normally associated with human intelligence, such as judgment, pattern recognition, understanding, learning, planning, and problem solving.
