Mining professionals don’t need more data — they need faster decisions. We’ve heard it again and again from the field: “Our sensors work fine, but the insights arrive too late.” That’s the problem Vulcanis is helping solve. By merging multiple sensing technologies — LiDAR, hyperspectral, magnetometry, and thermal — into one UAV-based payload with onboard AI, we’re enabling real-time decision-making from prospecting to processing. The result? Less waiting, fewer redundant campaigns, and more confident planning. If your team faces similar challenges integrating data or speeding up insights, let’s talk — we’re opening collaborations for early pilot projects. #MiningTechnology #UAV #EdgeAI #MiningInnovation #Partnerships

V like Very cool 😊 Here is a super cool LiDar demo using our STMicroelectronics STM32N6 and our brand new VL53L9. In this demo, the EDGE-AI Sensing Kit replaces the default camera with ST’s compact VL53L9 direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) LiDAR sensor. Instead of video, the Kit streams depth information—distance measurements and IR reflectance values—over an RTSP feed for real-time visualization on any compatible viewer. This setup highlights how the Kit can be adapted for non-imaging sensors, enabling developers to explore applications such as obstacle detection, spatial mapping, and presence monitoring in a lightweight, battery-friendly form factor.

We at Ommatidia LIDAR S.L. are proud to share our latest article: “Remote Sound Sensing with Laser RADAR: How the Q2 Redefines Vibration and Acoustic Analysis”. 🎯 Why it matters: Traditional methods often rely on accelerometers and microphones, requiring physical contact, installation, and limiting spatial coverage. Our #Q2 Laser RADAR takes a different approach — non-contact, full-field measurements from a safe distance, capturing vibration and acoustic signatures across multiple points simultaneously. 🚀 What this enables: Thousands of points captured in seconds — enabling high-resolution analysis at standoff distances. Uninterrupted structural and acoustic assessment with zero mass-loading on the test object. Ideal for applications in #aerospace, #automotive #NVH, #civil-infrastructure diagnostics and more. 📖 Read the full article and discover how we’re pushing the boundaries of vibrometry: https://lnkd.in/dcTHbNbs If you’re working in vibration/acoustic testing, modal analysis, or structural diagnostics and want to explore next-gen measurement workflows — let’s connect! #LaserDopplerVibrometer #LDV #VibrationAnalysis #AcousticTesting #LaserRadar #LiDAR #NonContactMetrology #StructuralDynamics #ModalAnalysis #AutomotiveNVH #AerospaceTesting #CivilEngineering

LiDAR: FMCW vs. ToF — What’s Driving the Future of 3D Sensing? As industries push the boundaries of autonomy, precision, and environmental resilience, the choice of LiDAR technology is no longer academic—it’s mission-critical. This recent paper dives deep into the evolving competition between Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave (FMCW) and Time-of-Flight (ToF) LiDAR systems. While ToF has long been the go-to for simplicity and reliability, it faces mounting challenges: blooming from bright reflections, limited range due to eye safety constraints, and costly discrete component architectures that hinder scalability. FMCW LiDAR, by contrast, is emerging as the superior alternative. It handles higher optical power, delivers real-time velocity at every pixel, and performs reliably across lighting extremes—from blinding sunlight to total darkness. Its integration potential—especially in chip-scale systems like Voyant’s CARBON—promises to democratize high-performance sensing across automotive, robotics, and industrial automation. Key Takeaways: ToF Limitations: Blooming, range constraints, and filtering trade-offs pose safety risks in dynamic environments. FMCW Advantages: Superior accuracy, environmental resilience, and scalable integration via LiDAR-on-chip architectures. Cost & Adoption: FMCW’s path to affordability is accelerating, with OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers driving momentum. Voyant’s CARBON: A compact, low-cost 4D FMCW LiDAR system poised to revolutionize real-time object detection. As production scales and prices drop, FMCW LiDAR is positioned to reshape the sensor landscape—offering new possibilities for autonomy, mapping, and intelligent mobility. If you’re exploring advanced navigation, robotics, or sensor fusion strategies, this is a must-read. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss how FMCW LiDAR is shaping Psionic’s approach to precision sensing and autonomous guidance. #LiDAR #FMCW #ToF #AutonomousSystems #SensorFusion #Photonics #Robotics #AutomotiveTech #Voyant #Psionic #AdvancedSensing #3DSensing #SpaceTech #PrecisionNavigation

Excellent technical perspective from William Cook of Psionic on the evolving competition between FMCW and ToF LiDAR, a defining debate for the future of 3D sensing and autonomous navigation. As industries push toward higher precision and resilience, FMCW’s ability to measure both range and velocity at every pixel is setting a new benchmark for reliability and integration at scale. This is the kind of system-level advancement that underpins GenLab’s broader thesis: precision sensing and autonomy as foundational layers of sovereign infrastructure. As Psionic advances these technologies, the boundaries between defense, space, and commercial applications continue to dissolve. #LiDAR #Autonomy #AdvancedSensing #DeepTech #Innovation Stephen Sandford

Hmmmm?! Frequency combs split laser light into dozens of colors that each represent their own optical channel, allowing for faster data transmission. Although this typically requires expensive and powerful lasers and amplifiers, a new study details how scientists accidentally found a way to achieve the same effect on a single chip. This could create better spectrometers, optical clocks, compact quantum devices, and advanced LiDAR systems, or even help AI data centers move massive amounts of information more effectively. https://lnkd.in/egw9wbEs
