This MEMS Scanning Mirror Could Solve LiDAR’s Expensive Autonomous Vehicle Challenges
Tech Briefs Author Woodrow Bellamy interviewed Omnitron Sensors Co-founder & CEO Eric Aguilar about the evolution of LiDAR sensors in autonomous navigation systems. Eric reveals how long-standing inadequacies in LiDAR sensors–from fragility and performance issues to high cost–have prevented LiDAR sensors from meeting the rigorous demands of the automotive industry. Until now. Omnitron’s new LiDAR sensor solves the problems that have limited LiDAR. Read the article.
MEMS scanner for lidar unveiled
Electronics360 Editor Peter Brown writes about Omnitron Sensors’ manufacturing collaboration with Silex Microsystems, the world’s leading pure-play MEMS foundry. Omnitron Co-founder & CEO Eric Aguilar positions the two companies’ relationship as “a major step forward for the microelectronics industry,” which “mitigates the manufacturing complexity that has limited the growth of MEMS to date.”
Omnitron Sensors Inc. (Los Angeles, Calif.), developer of MEMS technology, has selected Silex Microsystems to commercialize a first product.
eeNews Europe Editor Peter Clarke explores the significance of Omnitron Sensors’ choice of Silex Microsystems to commercialize its first product–a robust, reliable and affordable MEMS scanner for LiDAR.
