Multimodal perception — 3D lidars, 4D imaging radar and GMSL2 cameras feeding sensor fusion
Centimetre-level positioning — GNSS RTK with heading plus inertial navigation (IMU)
On-board compute — an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin–class edge AI computer
Challenge
An autonomous vehicle has to see its surroundings all around, know its position to within centimetres and make decisions on board — in real time and out in the field. That takes many classes of devices from different manufacturers that all have to work together.
Solution
We selected and are supplying the full set of sensors and on-board electronics — 3D lidars with different fields of view, an imaging radar, GMSL2 cameras, GNSS RTK receivers with heading supported by inertial navigation, an edge AI computer for sensor fusion and 5G connectivity. BLDC drives, brakes and a safety controller complete the set.
