O-Film Technology and Fushi Technology have officially announced a strategic partnership to delve into the field of solid-state LiDAR technology. As part of this collaboration, O-Film will utilize Fushi Technology’s latest SPAD-SoC chip to develop a variety of solid-state LiDAR products aimed at empowering industries such as robotics, autonomous vehicles, and smart lawn mowers.
The initial focus will be on the robotics sector, where both companies aim to enhance capabilities in environmental sensing, precise positioning, and obstacle avoidance. They will also work on achieving breakthroughs in the stability, miniaturization, and cost control of LiDAR systems.
Leveraging Fushi Technology’s advanced SPAD-SoC chip, O-Film has launched the industry’s first true two-dimensional addressing short-range solid-state LiDAR, addressing challenges such as high reflectance, multi-path interference, and dust disruption. This innovation enables seamless operation within complex environments.
This new product features a highly integrated pure solid-state architecture, chip-level design and manufacturing, and is capable of covering various perspectives and application distances. It offers centimeter-level precision and remarkable scene adaptability while maintaining low power consumption, providing a reliable spatial perception foundation for advanced autonomous driving and mobile systems.
From expanding vehicle perception boundaries to enabling autonomous movement in robots and ensuring precise operations of smart devices, O-Film’s true two-dimensional addressing solid-state LiDAR meets the rigorous requirements for all-weather and all-condition scenarios, achieving stable coverage in large spaces and enhancing overall intelligence.
As a leading enterprise in the optical and optoelectronic field, O-Film has been deeply involved in machine vision for many years and is a top provider of machine vision depth camera system solutions in China, offering various mature perception solutions including monocular, binocular, and iToF.
With the support of Fushi Technology’s cutting-edge SPAD-SoC chip, the jointly developed solid-state LiDAR products will enable robots to operate in all weather conditions, adapt to various scenarios, and achieve extensive coverage, significantly enhancing their autonomous mobility and intelligent decision-making capabilities.
Going forward, O-Film will prioritize the use of Fushi Technology’s SPAD-SoC chip, and both companies will collaborate to develop new solid-state LiDAR sensors that integrate visual capabilities, working together to create a next-generation intelligent perception platform for robots.
Founded in 2017, Fushi Technology focuses on the design of core chips for machine vision. They have launched the world’s first third-generation solid-state LiDAR SPAD chip and introduced the “Omni-directional Light Control™️” optical scanning technology, providing chip-level “artificial intelligence eyes” for downstream applications in autonomous driving and intelligent robotics.
Fushi Technology has achieved breakthroughs in high-end scenarios, with the global flagship ultra-luxury SUV Zeekr 9X equipped with four self-developed solid-state SPAD chips, capable of constructing a real-time 360° three-dimensional spatial map of the environment, supporting the most precise and safest L3-level intelligent driving assistance to date.
This collaboration will leverage O-Film’s extensive experience in optical design, system integration, and large-scale manufacturing alongside Fushi Technology’s core technological advantages in SPAD-SoC chips, driving innovation in solid-state LiDAR technology and advancing industry upgrades. Together, they aim not only to accelerate the evolution of environmental perception and intelligent decision-making in products such as robots, autonomous vehicles, and smart lawn mowers, but also to lead globally in critical sensing technology, energizing Chinese technology companies to stay at the forefront of international innovation and set new industry standards.
