Leti has developed a low-power, low-cost 3D anti-crash, fusion-sensor solution for drones.
Leti’s 360Fusion software, in combination with miniaturized sensors, collects, analyzes and transforms millions of incoming 3D distance data items into relevant, actionable information.
This technology provides consumers and innovative companies with a reliable and affordable integrated anti-crash system. It also ensures safe navigation and enables prompt action in civil-security applications and ensures both fast response and maximum performance for drones in defense uses.
It is claimed to be the first obstacle-avoidance algorithm in a dynamic environment based on laser sensor technology, it fits into a mass-market microcontroller, the perception system weighs less than 40 grams and it integrates into existing drone technologies
Leti will equip a fleet of drones with this technology to show they detect and avoid nearby drones, fit miniaturized radar sensors on the fleet, enable detours to safe routs when obstacles are detected and enable autonomous flight.
