- The ability to leverage leading and complementary IP, expertise, and support from technology leaders
LeddarTech and First Sensor will initiate the collaboration with the development of a LiDAR Evaluation Kit, demonstrating a technical concept in a working LiDAR and creating a tool for Tier 1s and system integrators to develop their own LiDAR based on LeddarEngine technology, First Sensor APDs and additional ecosystem partners’ technologies, products, and services.
The evaluation kit will be primarily targeting automotive front LiDAR applications for high-speed highway driving such as Highway Pilot and Traffic Jam Assist.
First Sensor is a supplier of Avalanche-Photodiodes and is developing the receiver submodule based on its APDs for the LiDAR evaluation kit.
The receiver submodule leverages LeddarTech’s LeddarCore SoC and LeddarSP signal processing software to capture the reflected pulse coming from the objects in the field of view in order to provide time-of-flight data for rendering a 3D image that includes depth information.
“We are delighted to partner with First Sensor, one of the world’s leading developers and producers of chips, components, sensors and sensor systems as a strategic partner” stated LeddarTech VP, Product Management, Michael Poulin.
“First Sensor, LeddarTech and other select members, working synergistically as part of the Leddar Ecosystem, will provide increased value to our customers.”
