In April, Uhnder and Yunshan Technologies delivered a digital perception radar sensor solution for use in autonomous trucks operating in shipping ports.
While EAGLE and FALCON are full-stack sensor solutions, Oculii’s Virtual Aperture Imaging platform is hardware agnostic, highly modular and available for licensing. Built on a single-chip (3T4R), low-power, cost-effective hardware platform, FALCON consumes less than 2.5 W of power and is smaller than a business card, enabling it to be leveraged effectively in a corner-radar automotive ADAS application or an autonomous robotic application where energy efficiency is critical. Four FALCON sensors fused together can provide a 360-degree bubble of safety up to 200 meters in all directions and be effective in all environmental conditions. FALCON has 2-degree horizontal resolution across a wide 120-degree field of view and can simultaneously measure elevation of the targets as well. FALCON is a compact 4D imaging radar, delivering high-resolution performance in a 5 x 5 cm package that is smaller than a business card. Using cost- and power-efficient DSPs for processing rather than FPGAs, EAGLE consumes less than 5 W of total power and is smaller than an index card, enabling discrete integration options that preserve the aesthetics of the autonomous platform. EAGLE delivers the spatial resolution of an 8-chip cascaded radar (24T32R) on a cost-effective, low-power 2-chip (6T8R) hardware platform. EAGLE is a commercial 4D imaging radar, delivering joint 0.5 degrees H x 1 degree V spatial resolution across a wide 120 degrees H 30 degrees V instantaneous field of view.

This improved resolution and sensitivity unlocks the potential of market proven commercial radars by enabling all-weather sub-degree horizontal and elevation spatial resolution up to 350 meters around a full 360-degree field of view. Oculii’s AI-powered Virtual Aperture Imaging platform dynamically sends out an adaptive, phase-modulated waveform that changes in real time with the environment and then encodes that data over time, increasing the resolution of any radar hardware up to 100x.

Oculii’s approach uses AI software to greatly improve the performance of current radar sensor technology. In March, Oculii announced the launch of FALCON and EAGLE leveraging its AI-powered Virtual Aperture Imaging software platform and existing automotive-grade radar hardware. The new platform will be capable of 400-meter range with resolution comparable to LiDAR. Zadar is looking to further support customers in 2021 through the launch of their long-range sensor, zPRIME. The sensor is currently under evaluation by several customers in the autonomous vehicle space. Zadar has already released their mid-range sensor, zSIGNAL, reaching 250-meter range. Zadar's says it has breakthrough signal processing algorithms, proprietary AI image processing techniques, and in-house antenna design, so their platforms can perform in the horizontal and vertical domains with sub-degree resolution. In Jan, Zadar Labs announced that the company has raised $5.6M in seed funding. Here are some of the latest developments in this area. These new radar sensors provide better resolution than previous versions which is where Lidar excels. Radar also works in poor visibility conditions (rain, fog) where Lidar does not. These newer “4D radar” units determine an object's location in range, azimuth, elevation, and relative speed to provide detailed information about the driving environment as earlier automotive radar systems only captured speed and azimuth. There has been a lot of activity recently around next generation radar sensors for automotive applications.
