Ouster will expand BlueCity lidar across 160 Utah intersections statewide. The deployment adds REV8 sensors with 500-foot detection, optional colour capture, edge privacy processing, and integration into existing traffic-control infrastructure.
-
Microchip has reduced its PolarFire Ethernet sensor bridge by 60%. Rev 2.0 supports four MIPI CSI-2 cameras, dual 10Gb Ethernet, and on-board latency measurement for NVIDIA Jetson and IGX edge systems.

The QPS201 scanner rollout will cover five Thai airports initially. Rohde & Schwarz says the millimetre-wave systems will support aviation security checkpoints, including Bangkok Suvarnabhumi.
-
Researchers have demonstrated a 60V current sensor for fast PWM. Dynamic body biasing improves front-end linearity while rejecting high-voltage common-mode switching at frequencies reaching 2MHz.
-
Hanyang researchers have developed a vertically integrated dual-gate tactile transistor. The architecture combines triboelectric sensing with an ITZO thin-film transistor to improve sensitivity control and sensor-array density.
-
Sony and TSMC are considering a major Kumamoto sensor venture. Reported investment of around ¥1 trillion would build on their confirmed May agreement for joint image-sensor development and manufacturing.
-
Ouster shipped more than 17,000 lidar and camera sensors quarterly. Industrial and smart-infrastructure demand lifted second-quarter revenue to $55 million, while product gross margins improved as production volumes increased.
-
MicroVision has launched lighter lidar systems for autonomous aerial platforms. MOVIA Air Plus adds edge processing, camera input, mapping, and onboard perception.
-
NXP will supply BMW with integrated UWB ranging and radar. The single-chip platform supports digital keys, occupant detection, and additional vehicle functions.
-
Aliensense has combined robotic camera and sensor interfaces on NXS. GMSL, CAN FD, MIPI, and mikroBUS support distributed perception systems.
