Lidar tech illuminates CES 2022
ADAS AND AV TECH | CES 2022 FEATURE
Every year, established and emerging lidar suppliers vie for media attention,
tech supremacy and, most importantly, contracts from automakers and
major OEM suppliers.
to enable their safe, efficient navigation. Each robot will
be equipped with three lidar sensors: one M8 sensor to
detect and classify objects in " stop " mode, and two M1
Edge sensors for collision avoidance. The sensor detection
zones are monitored dynamically based on the robot's
movement to and from a charging location.
RoboSense
The Chinese company showed its RS-LiDAR-M1 sensor,
which it said is " the world's first mass-produced automotive-grade
MEMS solid-state lidar, " and Ruby Plus, a
new 128-beam mechanical lidar sensor. RoboSense said
it completed its first mass production and delivery of
the M1 as part of a project with an unnamed vehicle
manufacturer and the company has also received orders
from Chinese automakers, including BYD, GAC,
WM Motor, Geely subsidiary Zeekr and Inceptio
Technology. RoboSens said the new Ruby Plus not only

ACCELERATE ELECTRIC VEHICLE ENGINEERING
WITH SIMCENTER DIGITAL TWIN
Thursday, February 17, 2022 at 10:00 am U.S. EST
This 60-minute Webinar discusses how a digital twin approach with Simcenter
using model-based engineering and integrated processes for design, simulation,
optimization, and verification can help you make the right engineering decision on:
* What vehicle architecture to choose from the virtually unlimited possibilities that
(H)EVs give us.
* How to manage the development of many variants based on the same architecture
to cater for a wide range of customers.
* Managing the balance between that all-important driving range and charging time
with driving dynamics, noise and vibration, thermal comfort, and durability.

has a longer detection range and higher detection accuracy than its
predecessor, but it has also reduced the sensor's overall weight and
volume by more than 50% and power consumption by 40%.
Velodyne
Lidar pioneer Velodyne used CES to show its Alpha Prime long-range
sensor that the company debuted in November 2021 and said generates a
high-quality point cloud in a wide variety of light conditions, with advanced
sensor-to-sensor interference mitigation, power efficiency and
thermal performance. Velodyne also showed off its solid-state sensors
and its Intelligent Infrastructure Solution at CES, which creates a real-time
3D map of roads and intersections and provides traffic monitoring and
analytics in any lighting or weather condition, according to the company.
Velodyne also demonstrated its Vella Development Kit (VDK) that provide
access to Velodyne's Vella perception software paired with the company's
lidar sensors, allowing customers to plug in lidar with an off-the-shelf library
of functions to help accelerate time to market for autonomous vehicles,
ADAS, mobile delivery devices, industrial robotics and drones.
