Velodyne

Velodyne is a company that makes advanced sensing technology, primarily lidar sensors, which use laser beams to create detailed, 3D maps of the environment. These sensors are crucial for autonomous vehicles, robotics, and mapping applications, as they help machines "see" their surroundings with high accuracy and resolution. Velodyne’s lidar systems emit laser pulses that bounce off objects, allowing the device to measure distances and generate real-time 3D images. This technology enhances safety and navigation capabilities, enabling machines to detect obstacles, identify roadways, and understand complex environments effectively.
