Leaders in LiDAR

Episode Five | Dr.Tianyue Yu, Chief Development Officer & Co-Founder at Quanergy

Umbilical Technology Season 1 Episode 5

In this episode we speak to Dr. Tianyue Yu, the Chief Development Officer and Co-Founder at Quanergy, a Silicon Valley based LiDAR organisation that were founded in 2012 and have developed a true, 100% solid state CMOS LiDAR sensor built on optical phased array (OPA) technology.

This smart LiDAR solution is considered the "holy grail" of LiDAR as it will enable low-cost, highly reliable and more importantly mass producible LiDAR sensors for a wide range of application verticals.

Listen today as we discuss;

  • The history of Quanergy and their aim to "democratize LiDAR"
  • The benefits of a solid state LiDAR as opposed to MEMS LiDAR.
  • The future of Autonomous Driving and the immediate need for short range LiDAR applications as well as Quanergy's new S Series product line which will be focused on long-range LiDAR solutions for higher levels of Autonomous Driving in the near future.
  • A number of exciting use cases for LiDAR employed by Quanergy's customers outside of the automotive domain - including port automation, traffic flow management and airport applications.
