NAMUGA Launches Next-Generation 3D Sensing Solutions, Powered by Lumotive
Thursday, December 26, 2024
REDMOND, Wash., Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumotive, a pioneer in optical semiconductor technology, and NAMUGA Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of advanced camera modules, today announced the launch of their groundbreaking Stella series of 3D sensing solutions, powered by the same core Light Control Metasurface (LCM(TM)) technology that drives Lumotive's successful MD42 platform.
Revolutionary Technology
"The Stella series represents our vision for transforming 3D sensing," said Dr. Sam Heidari, CEO of Lumotive. "By leveraging our proven LCM technology, we're enabling a new generation of sensing solutions that deliver superior reliability and performance while significantly reducing size and cost."
"Our collaboration with Lumotive brings unprecedented capabilities to the market," said Don Lee, CEO of NAMUGA. "The Stella series demonstrates our commitment to delivering innovative sensing solutions that meet real-world deployment needs."
Market-Focused Solutions
The Stella series addresses diverse market needs through two distinct solutions. Stella, with its compact design and 25-meter range, targets indoor applications where precision and reliability are paramount. Its optimized 10 Hz frame rate and 120° × 90° field of view make it ideal for pick and place robotics, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and industrial automation systems requiring accurate navigation in structured environments.
Stella 2 extends these capabilities with its enhanced 80-meter range and 20 Hz frame rate, designed for more demanding outdoor applications. Its advanced features, including superior object detection and tracking, make it particularly effective for security systems, drones and smart infrastructure applications requiring extended range and higher scanning speeds.
Advanced Capabilities
Both solutions leverage Lumotive's revolutionary solid-state beam steering technology, which eliminates moving parts and enables software-defined scanning capabilities. This approach allows for:
-- Dynamic performance optimization through APIs
-- Real-time adjustments to key sensing parameters
-- Advanced scanning modes including Regions of Interest
-- Superior performance in challenging lighting conditions
Commercial Impact
The Stella series brings the proven capabilities of Lumotive's MD42 platform to new market segments, offering manufacturers a path to reduce development cycles from 18 months to 3-6 months. This accelerated timeline, combined with the solutions' compact form factor and solid-state reliability, enables rapid deployment across multiple industries.
Availability
Product demonstrations will be available at CES 2025 in Las Vegas. Commercial deployment is scheduled for Q2 2025.
