4D Imaging RoC Sensor: Interview with Vayyar’s Head of Automotive
https://www.electronics-lab.com/4d-imaging-roc-sensor-interview-with-vayyars-head-of-automotive/
The 4D imaging technology using cameras and LIDAR comes with drawbacks as the cameras are sensitive to external environmental conditions like bad light, fog, etc. Hence, the radar technology for 4D imaging allows a good resolution scan with an accurate field of view. Vayyar’s Radar on Chip (RoC) is one such example for 4D Imaging […]
Microscanner mirrors replace human vision

In autonomous vehicles, it is advanced technology that takes the wheel, allowing passengers to sit back and enjoy the ride. Yet such systems have to meet stringent safety standards. For example, an autonomous vehicle must be able to recognize obstacles and other hazards – and apply the brakes in an emergency. Such a vehicle could […]

Osram SPL SxL90A LiDAR QFN Packaged SMT Lasers are infrared high-power SMT components for LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) applications. This allows autonomous vehicles to “see” farther and more effectively. The AEC-Q102 qualified four-channel and single-channel pulse lasers offer a performance of 125W at 40A per channel and an efficiency of up to 33%. The […]
The Social Distancing Badge
https://www.electronics-lab.com/social-distancing-badge/
As the world continues in the fight against Covid19, makers, developers, Engineers, and open source communities are joining in the fight by creating solutions ranging from open source ventilators to treat people who are sick, to 3D printed face masks to prevent the sickness. One of such solutions, which falls into the latter category, is […]
Photonic chip steers light without any moving parts
https://www.electronics-lab.com/photonic-chip-steers-light-without-moving-parts/
In search for a compact and reliable LiDAR solution, researchers from Yokohama National University in Japan have developed a waveguide-based photonic chip that takes a laser beam as an input and steers light beams over a wide range of selectable angles, without involving any moving parts, not even MEMS. by Julien Happich @ eenewseurope.com Their […]
$4.3M raised by Voyant Photonics for lidar to be fitted on the head of a pin
https://www.electronics-lab.com/4-3m-raised-voyant-photonics-lidar-fitted-head-pin/
Voyant Photonics has created a lidar system that could be fitted on the head of a pin. This development is noteworthy because LIDAR is a method by which robots and autonomous vehicles sense the world around them, but the lasers and sensors are usually large and use up a considerable amount of space. LIDAR solutions […]
