Velodyne will host an in-booth press conference, featuring CEO
Dr. Ted Tewksbury, on January 5 at 11:45 a.m. PST. Velodyne will
showcase how it is the only lidar company today, through its
cutting-edge hardware and software solutions, that can provide a
full circle of autonomy and safety across of a wide range of
markets, including automotive, industrial, infrastructure and
robotics.
“CES attendees can see Velodyne’s broad sensor and software
portfolio and high-performing lidar technology. We are
demonstrating how our lidar-based autonomous technology is shaping
the future of the automotive, industrial and robotics sectors and
helping create sustainable and efficient infrastructure. With our
ability to manufacture at scale, we are positioned to capitalize on
the first wave of mass commercialization of lidar solutions,” said
Dr. Tewksbury.
Trailblazing Lidar Sensors and Software
At the Velodyne booth, exhibitors, customers and industry
partners will have the opportunity to hear from Velodyne’s
executives and technical experts about how the company’s sensors
and software democratize lidar-based safety and autonomy. Among the
products Velodyne will showcase are:
- The Alpha Prime is the optimal long-range sensor for autonomous
mobility. The Alpha Prime’s world-class combination of range, image
clarity and field of view detects roadway objects with reliability
and precision. This state-of-the-art sensor 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‘s solid-state Velarray H800 is a lidar sensor
architected for automotive-grade performance. The sensor is built
using Velodyne’s breakthrough proprietary micro-lidar array (MLA)
architecture. With combined long-range perception and a broad field
of view, the Velarray H800 is designed for safe navigation and
collision avoidance in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)
and autonomous mobility applications to achieve advanced driver
assistance.
- Velarray M1600, built with Velodyne’s MLA, provides excellent
near-field perception for safe navigation, enabling touch-free
movement and last-mile delivery robots to operate autonomously and
safely without human intervention. This durable and compact sensor
can be deployed in various environments and weather conditions and
can be used in almost all weather throughout the year. Velodyne
will feature a live Extended Reality (XR) demonstration of Velarray
M1600 sensors.
- Velodyne’s Intelligent Infrastructure Solution (IIS), which
creates a real-time 3D map of roads and intersections, provides
precise traffic monitoring and analytics that is not possible with
other types of sensors such as cameras or radar. IIS reliably
collects data in any lighting or weather condition, supporting
year-round operation, while also protecting people's privacy. The
solution can predict, diagnose and address road safety challenges,
helping municipalities and other customers make informed decisions
to take corrective action.
- The Vella Development Kit (VDK) simplifies building autonomous
solutions. VDK provides access to Velodyne’s breakthrough Vella
perception software paired with its world-class lidar sensors. The
software toolkit allows customers to plug in lidar with an
off-the-shelf library of functions. VDK advances solution
development and accelerates time to market for bringing lidar
capabilities to autonomous vehicles, ADAS, mobile delivery devices,
industrial robotics, drones and more.
Autonomous Solutions That Are Transforming Industries
The booth will feature products and presentations from customers
and partners that are using Velodyne’s lidar technology in a range
of transformative solutions including automotive, logistics,
mapping, robotics, traffic monitoring, vegetation management and
more. The autonomous solution demonstrations are:
Bluecity solutions facilitate the improvement of road safety and
mobility in the road networks by providing real-time traffic data
and analytics using innovative technology. The company developed
AI-powered software integrated with Velodyne’s lidar sensors to
monitor traffic networks, generate real-time traffic data and
analytics. Bluecity will be showcasing their AI technology at
Velodyne’s Intelligent Infrastructure Solution (IIS) demo in the
booth.
EasyMile driverless technology is at the core of award-winning
solutions for mobility, intralogistics and more. At the Velodyne
booth will be TractEasy, the company’s tow-truck autonomous
solution that optimizes supply chains with cross/indoor-outdoor,
24/7 material handling at airports, factories and industrial
sites.
Emesent is a leader in lidar-based drone autonomy and mapping,
with a focus on underground mining and industrial asset inspection.
The company’s Hovermap product is a versatile and intelligent lidar
scanner that makes mapping of inaccessible areas safe, easy and
fast. The Hovermap will be integrated with a Boston Dynamics Spot
robot at the Velodyne booth.
Exyn Technologies has pioneered autonomous aerial robot systems
for complex, GPS-denied environments. The company’s full-stack
solution enables flexible deployment of single or multiple robots
that can intelligently navigate and dynamically adapt to complex
environments in real time. Exyn will introduce a new pilotless
drone designed for autonomous flight in high-risk environments and
will be demonstrating their solution at the Velodyne booth.
