By uniting these strengths, the marketplace for sensing and perception technology is being redefined. The path to automation begins with advanced, integrated tools designed to lead their respective industries

The Virtuous Cycle of Physical AI

The transition from simple automation to Physical AI requires a unified platform. Bringing complex system development under a single roof provides a simpler and safer way to bring demanding applications to market. This integration creates a virtuous cycle of Sense, Think, Act, and Learn that speeds development and builds value.

Sense

Precise data collection is the foundation of Physical AI. Lidar provides depth accuracy in dark or obscured conditions, while cameras provide high-resolution context, color, and texture. The platform merges lidar precision with the richness of vision.

• Digital Lidar: OS Series and DF Series sensors provide the necessary range and accuracy for 3D perception.
• ZED Cameras: Industrial-grade mono and stereo camera solutions provide best-in-class 2D and 3D color data

Think

Intelligence happens at the edge. The platform utilizes embedded AI compute hardware to process synchronized and calibrated data in real-time. This enables a shift in focus from system integration to pure innovation.

• Sensor Fusion: Software enables sensors to work together with perfect synchrony and fault tolerance.
  
• AI Compute: Foundational hardware facilitates native, real-time sensor fusion.

Act

Technology enables autonomy in real-world use cases across industrial, robotics, smart infrastructure, and automotive markets. From automated forklifts in narrow aisles to smart infrastructure optimizing logistics, these tools make autonomous systems safe and practical.

• Unified Perception Platform: A single source for the entire perception stack.
• Real-World Application: Simplifies the deployment of demanding Physical AI applications in harsh industrial conditions.

Learn

Combined investments in AI training and proven in-house models accelerate software development. Deep-learning models are trained on millions of labeled objects and real-world 3D data to master complex edge cases.

• In-house AI Models: Built on over 10 million images of synthetic and real-world environments.
• Networked Fleet Learning: Real-world data collection enables continuous improvement and a formidable technological moat.
