Joint effort to develop smaller, lower-cost LiDAR for autonomous driving
A key goal is to shorten the LiDAR signal chain, which would ultimately help boost performance for automotive and industrial systems. Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) and First Sensor AG, a developer of standard and customer-specific sensor solutions, announced that they will collaborate on developing products aimed at speeding the launch of autonomous sensing technology for unmanned automotive, aerial, and underwater vehicles. As part of the collaboration, the two firms aim to shrink the LiDAR signal chain to enable higher system performance as well as reduced size, weight, power, and cost for manufacturers of sensing/perception technology targeting autonomous systems.
