(Sony Electronics: San Diego) -- Sony Electronics Inc. has announced commercialization of its AS-DT1 LiDAR depth sensor. The AS-DT1 is the world’s smallest and lightest LiDAR depth sensor structure, measuring just 29 mm x 29 mm x 31 mm (approximately 1.14 in. width x 1.14 in. height x 1.22 in. depth), excluding protrusions, and weighing only 50 g (approximately 1.76 oz). It leverages miniaturization and optical lens technologies from Sony’s machine vision industrial cameras, making it ideal for applications where space and weight constraints are paramount, including drones, robotics, and more.
