Ouster

Summary

About

About Ouster

Ouster's OS sensor family uses a common digital-lidar architecture across four fields of view. OSDome provides hemispheric coverage, OS0 covers ultra-wide near-range perception, OS1 addresses mid-range sensing and OS2 extends to long-range operation; configurations offer 32, 64 or 128 vertical channels for robots, vehicles and fixed infrastructure.

The hardware is supported by firmware, HTTP interfaces, ROS drivers and open C++ and Python SDKs, while Ouster Studio visualises and records live point clouds. Gemini combines multiple sensors into a unified view, and Blue City turns fixed lidar streams into detection and tracking for traffic and site operations. The sensors are manufactured at volume and fulfilled across three global regions.
