According to Memes Consulting, LiDAR (Lidar) startup Blickfeld, based in Munich, Germany, recently announced that it has raised its seed round financing to $10 million, including all existing investors including OSRAM (Osram) investment company Fluxunit. Joined this round of investment.
Blickfeld said the new funds will be used for the first batch of laser radar production, and to further expand the company's team.
Blickfeld focuses on developing and manufacturing LiDAR sensors for environmental awareness. Solid-state LiDAR sensors developed by Blickfeld provide high-resolution 3D environmental data for autonomous driving, robotics and other IoT applications. Blickfeld's patented technology makes its high-tech LiDAR products more suitable for mass production.
Blickfeld's solid state LiDAR based on MEMS micromirrors
Blickfeld's 3D solid state LiDAR technology is designed to meet the highest level of automotive application requirements. At its core is a silicon-based MEMS micromirror developed specifically for LiDAR applications that provides high resolution, long range and wide viewing angle detection.
Blickfeld's MEMS micromirrors are embedded in coaxial mechanisms based on commercially available off-the-shelf components, making their solid-state green laser pointer cost-effective, smaller in size and easier to expand. Thanks to the design flexibility of the technology, Blickfeld has developed a range of LiDAR products to meet a variety of application needs.
Blickfeld's solid-state LiDAR sensors feature centimeter-sized mirrors with a mechanical scan angle of up to 120° for high resolution, long range and wide field of view. Its coaxial setting provides spatial filtering characteristics for strong daylight suppression.
