WINNER: Solid-state lidar means fewer parts, reduced cost
RoboSense (Suteng Innovation Technology Co.)
2021 - PACE Award Winner
WHAT: MEMS solid-state automotive lidar
INNOVATION: MEMS lidar departs from the use of bulky motors, with a micro-galvanometer as its core component, using semiconductor technology with a high level of integration. It can achieve the equivalent 2D scanning effect of a 100-beam mechanical lidar while relying on fewer components, which means lower cost and simpler manufacturing and failure analysis.

The MEMS solid-state automotive lidar M1 provides accurate 3D environment perception for a range up to 200 meters in vehicle detection, helping vehicles to achieve Level 3 and above autopilot functions for autonomous driving systems.
MEMS scanning technology reduces the number of lidar parts from hundreds to dozens, greatly lowering the cost, shortening the production time and improving manufacturability and reliability.
