Velodyne Highlights High Performance Sensor Technologies
Among the Velodyne products showcased at Auto Shanghai 2021 are:
Velodyne Alpha Prime™ , a next generation lidar sensor that utilizes Velodyne’s 360-degree surround view perception technology to power safe autonomous mobility. As a result of over ten years of lidar development and learning, the Alpha Prime is a sensor specifically made for autonomous driving in complex conditions for travel up to highway speeds. The combined 300-meter range, resolution and field of view in one sensor is designed to be a catalyst to drive the autonomous strategies of automotive and robotaxi companies.
Velarray H800 , a solid state lidar sensor architected for automotive grade performance and built using Velodyne’s breakthrough proprietary micro-lidar array architecture (MLA). With combined long-range perception and a broad field of view, the sensor is designed for safe navigation and collision avoidance in ADAS and autonomous mobility applications. It can enable advanced driver assistance features such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), and Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking (PAEB). The Velarray H800’s compact, embeddable form factor is designed to fit neatly behind the windshield of a truck, bus or car, or be mounted seamlessly on the vehicle exterior.
Velarray M1600 , an innovative solid state lidar sensor designed to serve mobile robotic applications. The sensor is built using Velodyne’s MLA and provides outstanding near-field perception for safe navigation. The Velarray M1600 enables touchless mobile and last-mile delivery robots to operate autonomously and safely, without human intervention. This durable and compact sensor can be deployed in a wide variety of environments and weather conditions allowing nearly 365-day, 24/7 usage.
Velabit™ , Velodyne’s smallest sensor, which brings new levels of versatility and affordability to 3D lidar perception. This compact, mid-range lidar sensor is highly configurable for specialized use cases and can be embedded almost anywhere within vehicles, robots, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and infrastructure. Velabit advances Velodyne’s mission to make high-quality 3D lidar sensors readily accessible to everyone.
Vella™ , Velodyne’s breakthrough ADAS software based on the directional view Velarray sensor. Superior to existing approaches that utilize camera+radar, Vella can revolutionize advanced driver assistance functionalities currently on the market, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist and Pedestrian Automated Emergency Braking (PAEB). A Velodyne white paper and video examine nighttime tests conducted by Velodyne of its lidar-based PAEB system that uses the Velarray H800 sensor and Vella compared to a highly-rated system using camera+radar technology. In these conditions, the camera+radar-based system failed in all five scenarios while the lidar-based system avoided a crash in every situation tested.
