Imagine a camera that doesn't just take a picture, but knows exactly how far away every single point in the image is, down to the size of a fingernail. It uses a special mix of light-timing and phase-shifting to see clearly for 200 meters. This allows a car to spot tiny obstacles far ahead and understand exactly what they are, almost like having a high-definition 3D map updated in real-time.
Current LiDAR systems often struggle to balance high resolution and accuracy with high computational costs and hardware prices. This makes it difficult to equip all road vehicles with reliable long-distance object detection.
A 3D Solid State Flash LiDAR sensor (LiSSA 3D) and a supporting full-stack software suite including a custom API and ML-enhanced processing algorithms.
If you are an autonomous vehicle OEM dealing with the difficulty of detecting small objects at high speeds—this project developed a 3D Solid State Flash LiDAR that provides <1cm accuracy for a 200m range. This ensures safer braking and obstacle avoidance for self-driving fleets.
If you are an AGV producer dealing with high hardware costs and computational lag—this project developed a sensor with low computational effort. This allows for a low-cost implementation of high-resolution (double VGA) spatial awareness in warehouse robots.
If you are an equipment manufacturer dealing with poor object classification in complex environments—this project developed a multi-spectral approach to cover multiple areas at once. This enables better object classification for safer human-robot collaboration.
The LiSSA 3D system is designed with low computational effort, which enables the innovation to be offered at a low cost.
Yes, Hybrid Lidar Systems has invented a patented hybrid technology (ToF + PV) for determining distances with light.
Based on available project data, the goal is to equip every moving object in road traffic with this sensor technology, suggesting a high-scale commercial ambition.
The project developed a full-stack software solution including a custom-built API and backend cloud storage, with ML models (CNNs, transformers) that increased accuracy by up to 15%.
The project period runs from 2023-08-01 to 2025-07-31, indicating the development and validation phase is currently active.
The project is led by a single German SME, Hybrid Lidar Systems AG. With a 100% industry ratio and no university or research institute partners, the project is highly focused on commercial application and rapid productization rather than academic exploration.
