Many people in the industry are optimistic about the prospects of solid-state laser radar. At present, companies doing solid-state laser radar hope to gain industry leading edge in technology. For Sagitar, they mainly do a lot of laser radar hardware and algorithms. the study. On the hardware side, Sagitar said that the solid-state laser radar RS-LiDAR-M1 Pre exhibited this year is in mass production. In terms of algorithm, Sagitar said that the algorithm part of the latest P3 scheme has increased the synchronization and space of multiple lidar data on the basis of the original mapping, roadside detection, dynamic object tracking, obstacle classification and recognition module. The fusion of the above achieves the accuracy of perceptual recognition, ensuring that the self-driving vehicle can adapt to more complicated road conditions.
The Prometheus plan is mainly based on the 10-year lidar algorithm accumulation and high-performance laser radar hardware, jointly developed by the partners, including laser radar hardware and software algorithms, in order to make autonomous driving The R&D team is able to quickly deploy the green laser pointer radar sensing system, focusing more on decision planning and control to accelerate the development of autonomous driving technology. The Prometheus program has been released and is being used by many customers.
5. Sagitar’s business field covers a wide range of fields, including unmanned driving, robotics, unmanned surveying, security, industrial robots and many other fields. What is the current proportion of the company’s business structure? In which areas will the focus of future development be?
The application of green laser pointer radar is very wide, such as drones, robots, 3D printing, marine monitoring, VR, etc. Many companies are now involved in many fields in order to expand their business. Sagitar said that they will continue to be unmanned in the future. Lidar is the core, speeding up the landing of autonomous driving, and gradually expanding to other business areas.
6. According to the Gartner curve, when is the expected time for the unmanned product market to break out? What is the size of the driverless laser radar market?
Unmanned driving is still in the testing stage, and there is still a long way to go in the future to achieve universal popularity. Many people worry that it is just a fire, and when the heat is over, there is no more. Faced with such doubts, Sagitar said that it is optimistic about the prospect of unmanned driving. It is expected that unmanned driving will be a node of the outbreak around 2020, and L3 will also achieve mass production.
7. What do you think are the enemies in the field of unmanned green laser pointer radar, and what is the position of Sagitar?
Lidar neighbors, Sagitar has a lot of rivals, and each of them has its own characteristics. For example, Velodyne has been in the market for more than ten years, and has a deep insight into the LiDAR market, which is worthy of our reference; Ibeo’s laser radar has passed the car-grade, and it is equipped with a production car. In the future, our MEMS will also get on the bus. Their precedent is worth learning.
Sagitar’s business is based in Shenzhen, radiating the world, and presenting its MEMS solid-state laser radar technology solution at international exhibitions such as CES in the United States. Many domestic auto companies are also actively deploying unmanned driving. At present, Sagitar has a cooperative relationship with many domestic traditional auto companies and new energy vehicles.
The development of solid-state laser radar in China is not long. At present, the most difficult problem for all-solid-state laser radar is how to achieve precise control of the optical path and improve resolution without mechanical or minimal mechanical structure. , field of view, how to achieve high signal-to-noise ratio detection of laser echo, improve detection range. There are two main technologies that can be seen at present: MEMS and phased arrays. Sagitar has made certain breakthroughs in MEMS solid-state laser radar technology, and the road to mass production in the future is expected.
