Summary
Outsight has solved the root cause of current LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) limitations, which is the Laser source, by developing “Green-LIDAR”, a key enabling technology for autonomous vehicles and drones, opening the future of emissions reduction and ecosystem monitoring. Outsight new approach is based on generating powerful laser pulses using only passive components that we’ve created and that allows outstanding performance (>300 meters range instead of 70m) at a very low cost (

Original description
Outsight/Iridesense has solved the root cause of current LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) limitations, which is the Laser source, by developing “Green-LIDAR”, a key enabling technology for machines, autonomous vehicles and drones, opening the future of emissions reduction and ecosystem monitoring.Outsight/Iridesense new approach is based on generating powerful laser pulses using only passive components that we’ve created and that allows outstanding performance (>300 meters range instead of 70m) at low cost with an embedded intelligence that provides not only Distance, Range, but also the Material analysis of each object (Steel, Concrete, Skin, Plastic, Water, Ice, Different types of trees, Vegetation water content, Algae detection in water...), thanks to hyperspectral emission/analysis.
The GLIDAR expected project outcomes are:
1) bring to the market a Laser Detection and Ranging device that solves technological challenges that autonomous machines manufacturers are facing,
2) bring to the market a Laser Detection and Ranging device that solves technological challenges of airborne ecosystem monitoring
3) save thousands of human lives and living species yearly.
Last but not least GLIDAR will
4) propel Outsight/Iridesense to become a market leader for machines and drone LIDAR applications
Thanks to the dedication of a highly experienced team (both in Entrepreneurship and Technology) and strategic alliances with at least two key Tier1 providers (one in machines, the other in drones) plus an already established actor in ecosystem management, GLidar will be in a position to validate each component from TRL6 to TRL8. Thus, the high-level objective of this 24-month 3,5 M€ value project, is to build in Europe the most advanced and affordable integrated LiDAR device, to generate Half a Billion € sales in 5 years and more than 500 jobs in France and Europe.
