Leaders in LiDAR

Episode Four | Angus Pacala, CEO of Ouster

Umbilical Technology Season 1 Episode 4

Today I was joined by Angus Pacala, the CEO of Ouster, a LiDAR company that is certain that LiDAR sensor technology will become ubiquitous in society in the coming years and are developing digital high-resolution LiDAR used by hundreds of their customer's worldwide to give 3D vision to robots, smart infrastructure, industrial machines, vehicles and more.

In this episode we discuss

  • Why he decided to found Ouster and focus on digital LiDAR.
  • Moore's Law and how this prediction will lead to massive improvements in LiDAR performance faster than has been seen in other sensor technologies.
  • The future of Autonomous Driving and how mechanical LiDAR will still play a part.
  • A number of exciting use cases for LiDAR employed by Ouster's customers; including how LiDAR is improving the construction industry, warehouse automation, mapping, last mile delivery, mining and more.

Extremely passionate about LiDAR technology, this episode with Angus will give you a great insight into the differing use cases of LiDAR technology, how and why it will be so beneficial to society as well as giving you an overview of the foundations of Silicon Valley and the developments in the Semiconductor domain.
