Outsight, who specialise in 3D spatial Intelligence, and RoboSense, who make advanced lidars for autonomous driving, have announced a new partnership aiming to combine the pre-processing software engine from Outsight with RoboSense’s products. The idea is for 3D perception technologies to be deployed at a large scale for smart city and smart machine applications, giving robots superhuman perception capabilities.
Outsight create pre-processing software to make 3D lidar easier than ever to use. It detects, classifies, and tracks objects without relying on machine learning. In a few months, their solution has grown rapidly into applications including infrastructure-based perception and smart vehicles.
As one of the world’s first mass-production-ready lidar manufacturers, RoboSense provide performant, cost-effective automotive lidar solutions for autonomous driving applications. Thanks to this partnership, the joint solution delivers real-time, reliable, processed 3D data, becoming one of the most advanced 3D perception technologies available and offering an ideal solution which can be easily integrated across many industries beyond automotive. Specifically, it will be applied both in smart cities and smart machines such as vehicles and mobile robots.
Following this partnership, RoboSense will collaborate with Outsight to ensure the best integration between the latest innovations and products of each company. Outsight will develop specific drivers and interfaces to allow its pre-processing solutions to leverage the unique value of RoboSense lidars. In less than a year, Outsight have successfully designed and commercialised a new generation of lidar processing solutions, which has been the subject of 60 patent applications. The company have won many awards, including the prestigious Best of CES Innovation Award in Las Vegas and the Prism Award by the world leaders in photonics and lasers.
