Innovusion will be bringing three of its lidar sensors to CES 2023: a stationary solution for intersections; the Falcon long-range lidar; and a mid-to-short range lidar called Robin.
The Falcon lidar sensor was honored with a 2023 CES Innovation Award for design and engineering in consumer technology products.
The Falcon lidar uses integrated optics and scanning elements to provide a 3D real-time point cloud image with a simultaneous long-range and high-resolution picture. Falcon can detect objects at a distance up to 500 m and even dark objects with 10% reflectivity up to 250 m. The device was part of the standard sensor system for Chinese automotive original equipment manufacturer NIO’s ET7, ET5 and ES7 car models.
The Robin lidar is built on electronic and photonic technology producing a 3D point cloud image of its surroundings with a 905 nm wavelength laser. The Robin lidar:
- Can detect objects of 10% reflectivity up to 180 m away with 90% point of detection (POD) under 100K LUX.
- Has a horizontal field of view up to 140 degrees.
- Has a vertical field of view of up to 90 degrees.
- Can be integrated onto side fenders, headlights, rear lights or bumpers.
The Robin lidar could be used as a side view of a vehicle for highway lane changing, traffic merging, intersection turning and urban cruising
Innovusion said it will reach a production volume of up to 300,000 lidar per year. At the end of 2022, the company delivered more than 50,000 image-grade long-range Falcon lidar units, claimed as the highest delivery volume of any lidar maker in the world.
