New sensor improves robotics
Summary
Lumotives LCM technology uses dynamic metasurfaces to control and direct light in unprecedented ways, eliminating the need for the bulky, expensive, and fragile mechanical parts found in traditional lidar systems. As a true solid-state beam steering component for lidar, LCM chips offer exceptional stability and accuracy in 3D object recognition and distance measurement, and effectively manage multi-path interference, which is critical for consistent performance and safety in industrial environments. "With the industrial sectors increasingly demanding high-performance, reliable lidar systems that also have the flexibility to address multiple applications, our continued partnership with Lumotive allows us to harness the incredible potential of LCM beam steering and to deliver innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers." "We are thrilled to see our LM10 chip at the heart of Hokuyos new YLM-10LX sensor, the first of our customers’ products to begin deploying our revolutionary beam steering technology into the market," said Dr. Axel Fuchs, Vice President of Business Development at Lumotive. The two companies will continue to combine Hokuyos industry expertise with Lumotives pioneering optical semiconductors to push the boundaries of 3D lidar technology and drive innovation across a wide range of applications.
