Scalable Production for Large Volume Applications

Designed with scalability in mind, the ANT Series is perfect for large volume applications. Our advanced manufacturing processes ensure consistent quality and performance, making it easier to integrate our LiDAR sensors into a wide range of autonomous systems.

Unique Features

  • Solid State Beamforming: Our cutting-edge solid-state beamforming technology enhances precision and reliability, eliminating the need for moving parts and increasing the sensor's durability.
  • Flood Illumination: Achieve comprehensive coverage with our innovative flood illumination, ensuring no detail is missed in the sensor's field of view.
  • Long-Range and Low Power: Benefit from long-range detection capabilities while maintaining low power consumption, ideal for battery-powered autonomous systems.
  • Velocity for Object Classification: Enhance object detection and classification with our sensor's ability to measure velocity, providing critical data for real-time decision-making.

Advanced Technology

The ANT-01A is a 1024 parallel channel FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) LiDAR system in a compact package. This sophisticated sensing technology is designed for high-resolution long-range detection and ranging applications. Key features include:

  • High Resolution: A line scanner with 1024 resolution, delivering 1024 data points per scan, captures fine environmental details.
  • FMCW Technology: Unlike traditional pulsed LiDAR, it emits a continuous wave of light with varying frequency, allowing precise measurement of both distance and velocity.
  • Long Range: Capable of covering several hundred meters, often exceeding the range of pulsed LiDAR systems.
  • Robustness: Superior performance in adverse weather conditions such as fog, rain, or dust, thanks to its ability to discriminate against particles that scatter light.
  • Eye Safety: Operates at near-infrared wavelengths considered safe for human eyes, with lower power emissions due to the continuous wave nature.

Broad Applicability

  • Our ANT Series 3D LiDAR sensors are designed to excel in a variety of challenging conditions, ensuring reliable performance wherever you go.

  • Immunity to Interference and Adverse Illumination: Maintain accurate readings even in environments with high levels of interference or bright sunlight.

  • Robust in Difficult Weather: Trust the ANT Series to deliver consistent performance in adverse weather conditions, including rain, fog, and snow.

Applications

The versatility of the ANT Series makes it suitable for a wide range of applications:

  • Robotics: Enables robots to navigate complex environments, identify objects, and avoid obstacles by providing detailed 3D maps. Ideal for industrial automation, service robots, and research applications.
  • In-Cabin Automotive Applications: Enhance passenger safety and comfort with precise occupant detection, gesture recognition, and object tracking within the vehicle cabin.
