Quanergy Unveils New LiDAR Sensor

Leading LiDAR sensor and smart sensing solution provider Quanergy Systems never rests on its laurels when it comes to revolutionizing the LiDAR sensor space. Just recently, the company has developed the S3-Qi, a small solid state LiDAR sensor that is 15 percent the size of the previous solid state model (S3).

Only four months after the launch of the industry-changing S3 solid state LiDAR sensor, Quanergy now expands its portfolio with the new sensor and advances the state of the art in solid state LiDAR technology by setting new standards in size with a 1” x 1.5” footprint, weight at around 100 grams, and low power consumption. Combined with a modern, cost-effective design, the small form factor makes the S3-Qi highly suitable in a number of applications, including intelligent robotics, drones, smart homes, security and industrial automation. Mass production of the sensor is eyed for the first quarter of next year.

In a statement, Dr. Louay Eldada, Quanergy CEO, said that they are thrilled to raise the bar, once again, with the expansion of their product portfolio. He noted that they continue to push the boundaries on behalf of their customers and that the S3-Qi is a proof of their focus on the user and their investment in innovation for game-changing smart sensing solutions offered at price points that make their use ubiquitous. “In drones, payload and battery runtime benefit greatly from our compact sensors.”

Quanergy will exhibit its full product line at Xponential 2016, the grandest trade fair for unmanned systems, including robots, drones, and self-driving vehicles. The company’s team will be available at Booth 767 from May 3 to 5 in New Orleans.
