About AutoL
AutoL designs lidar around a compact rotating-mirror architecture and high-sensitivity silicon photomultiplier receiver. The G32 produces a 32-channel point cloud across a 120-degree horizontal field and detects targets at up to 250 metres. Its sealed enclosure, heater, interference filtering and wide operating-temperature range address vibration, contamination and weather conditions encountered on road vehicles.
The wider roadmap includes G192 rotating-mirror sensors, S56 and S192 flash lidar and the RX1 receiver module for custom integrations. Gigabit automotive Ethernet, a web configuration interface, viewing software and a ROS driver connect the sensors to vehicle and robot perception stacks. Applications extend from autonomous driving and mobile robots to field machines, traffic monitoring and perimeter systems that combine lidar tracks with cameras.
