Collaboration with inaugural partners – frog
and IXDS – enables development across critical IoT application
areas
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced its
Partners-in-Open-Development (POD) program in collaboration with
design firms frog and IXDS to promote the adoption of its lensless
smart sensor (LSS) technology. The Rambus LSS technology represents
a fundamentally new approach to sensing that shifts the function of
traditional optics to computation, eliminating the need for
expensive lenses. By replacing traditional sensor refraction optics
with lensless diffraction and computation, LSS technology enables
ultra-miniature form-factor and low-power design, ideal for a wide
range of Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

“Our work with lensless smart sensors through the POD program is
helping to pave the way for innovations that are sure to inspire
and become ubiquitous throughout our lives,” said Andrew Zimmerman,
president of frog. “The opportunity to partner with Rambus, through
our R&D platform frogLabsTM and other organizations, to build
out the burgeoning sensor ecosystem means we are helping to propel
solutions that can be adopted much more quickly.”
“Opening its innovative lensless smart technology to the
developer community enables Rambus to promote what promises to be a
robust, intelligent ecosystem around this new approach to sensing
and imaging,” said Dr. Reto Wettach, founder and design director
with IXDS. “We are proud to be among the inaugural POD partners and
look forward to being among the first contributors to identify and
expand upon existing IoT-based applications for this
technology.”
The Rambus lensless smart sensor technology consists of spiral
grating diffractive optics and computational algorithms that enable
reduced computation times and superior design flexibility,
delivering more data and improved accuracy versus current sensors
comparable in size, power and cost. The combination of spiral
grating diffractive optics and computational algorithms provide
high fidelity output for greater accuracy and more sophisticated
capabilities in the areas of gesture recognition, depth and range
tracking, point finding and advanced object recognition.
“With the need for smart sensors growing, our engineers have
invented novel ways to become the eyes of the IoT,” said Gary
Bronner, vice president of Rambus Labs. “Our
Partners-in-Open-Development provides a great opportunity for
innovators to develop technology for a smarter world. With this
program, we encourage developers across the globe to join in to
create new products that introduce real-world IoT applications that
will touch so many parts of our lives. This is the first step
toward expanding the accessibility of an ecosystem that will foster
a new generation of innovation.”
As part of the POD program, Rambus has identified four key
verticals to accelerate and amplify discovery of smart
applications, which include cities, transportation, manufacturing
and medical. To learn more about Rambus, lensless smart sensors and
