Seoul Robotics, a 3D computer vision company using AI and machine learning for intelligent robotic perception systems, launched Voyage, a plug-and-play LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) perception system.
The all-in-one deployment kit – equipped with the company’s proprietary software SENSR2, LiDAR sensors, and a computer – allows customers to simply unbox the product, plug it in, and instantaneously start seeing real-time results.
The company’s sensor-agnostic perception software is available worldwide and is currently deployed by top-tier organisations such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Chattanooga Department of Transportation, Emart, among many others.
Seoul Robotics provides companies, institutions, and governments with the software behind the sensor that enables impactful end-user solutions across verticals – from retail to smart cities to security and beyond. With the launch of Voyage, the company is empowering organisations and communities to increase efficiencies and improve safety through a cost-effective, customisable system.
The LiDAR market, which is on track to reach more than USD3 billion by 2025, has become crowded over the past several years as the technology became synonymous with autonomous vehicles. The marketplace is flooded with LiDAR companies producing sensors to fuel the demand of this industry, but most sensors on the market are sold without intelligence.
This approach is similar to selling a computer without a monitor – leaving companies to develop software in-house, significantly increasing the time and cost of deployment. With Voyage, organisations are not obligated to purchase a particular sensor if it is not a perfect fit for the solution they are deploying and will never have to worry about changing software when they change or upgrade their sensors. Voyage is a non-proprietary solution that breaks down the barriers to entry and allows for quick access to 3D vision.
“First and foremost, LiDAR sensors do not work without sophisticated perception software. The LiDAR industry is investing billions of dollars on sensors without even considering the software needed to interpret the data into actionable solutions,” said HanBin Lee, CEO of Seoul Robotics. “Voyage combines analytics and sensors to bring tangible solutions to market much faster.”
Voyage, a plug-and-play LiDAR solution, delivers highly accurate object detection, tracking, and classification capabilities to enable a wide range of applications for smart cities, intelligent transportation systems, retail analytics, crowd monitoring, security, and more. It fuses together three cutting-edge technologies: 3D LiDAR sensing, powered by Seoul Robotics’ proprietary software SENSR2; edge computing for minimum data burden and ease of integration and built-in sophisticated perception software for instantaneous analytics.
This state-of-the-art system also opens up the door to a variety of applications where data privacy is protected with anonymous scanning and analytics – no data is ever captured, shown, or stored.
