Chipmaker Maxim Integrated has unveiled what it says is “the industry’s smallest light detection and ranging integrated circuits”.
The company says the ICs provide twice the bandwidth than competing ICs and are intended for faster self-driving cars.
Maxim says designers of automotive self-driving systems can now enable higher-speed autonomous driving through the industry’s fastest and smallest LiDAR ICs. [Read more…] about Maxim launches ‘industry’s smallest’ LiDAR integrated circuits
The global market for LiDAR in mapping is expected to exceed $4 billion by 2026, according to research by Global Market Insights.
The rising demand to reduce the risks associated with natural disasters such as floods, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes is supporting the demand for LiDAR in mapping solutions, says the company.
The LiDAR in mapping market growth is also attributed to the increase in government efforts to identify new sources of energy. [Read more…] about LiDAR in mapping market predicted to surpass $4 billion by 2026

By Nic Temple, Vice President of Sales for the Americas at ForwardX Robotics
Given the proliferation of warehouses, distribution centers, direct to consumer (D2C) business models, fleets of AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), questioning the validity of innovation is worthy of examination.
Unlike in prior years when attendees would walk the show floor for days, many are using the MHI MODEX app and visiting for just a single day.
For that reason, a compelling innovation from ForwardX (Booth 1207) should be the first stop for serious AMR decision-makers. [Read more…] about ForwardX Aiming to Deliver ‘Best-in-Class’ Autonomous Mobile Robots
Bosch says it has now “completed” its sensor portfolio for automated driving, with long-range lidar complementing radar and cameras.
Bosch is one of the world’s leading suppliers of components for advanced driver assistance systems, or ADAS, which is an umbrella term referring to the autonomous functions in the newer cars on the roads today.
Example of ADAS features include automatic emergency braking, cruise control, and self-parking. But this is growing and becoming more sophisticated and integrated. [Read more…] about Bosch claims ‘complete’ sensor portfolio for autonomous driving
SICK has launched what it describes as its “most powerful and accurate 2D LiDAR sensor yet”.
The LMS4000 is designed for materials handling and intralogistics applications, and is said to maintain its high degrees of accuracy and power even at high speeds, in low ambient light or when goods, packages or parcels are matt black or glossy.
SICK says its LMS4000 2D LiDAR Sensor’s “exceptionally high” laser scanning frequency helps to produce more than half a million measurement points per second to calculate the position, shape, volume or surface quality of goods, packages or components over a wide depth of field, and at ranges up to 3 metres.
