LiDAR is on everyone’s mind these days relating autonomous vehicles—either cars or industrial vehicles. It is a cool light sensing technology first played around with in 1961 and getting lots of interest today. I received a news release from SiLC Technologies. The news is interesting. The release had the most superlatives per square inch of text of any I’ve ever seen. Here is the condensed version of this news that is worth your time to check if you have any interest in vision systems.
- SiLC Technologies Inc. (SiLC) announced the launch of the Eyeonic Vision System.
- High resolution
- High precision
- Long range
- Turnkey solution
- Targeted to robotics, autonomous vehicles, smart cameras and other advanced products
- Integrated silicon photonics chip
