AutoL participated in the Future Innovation Tech Expo 2024 (FIX 2024), held from October 23 to 26 at Daegu EXCO.
AutoL, a LiDAR manufacturer spun off from Hyundai’s in-house venture program, aims to contribute to the mass adoption of autonomous driving. The company supplies compact, affordable, high-resolution LiDAR systems designed for autonomous vehicles and robots that can detect obstacles precisely.
AutoL’s strength lies in its team of former automotive engineers, who bring valuable experience and knowledge to developing LiDAR systems. By applying advanced high-sensitivity transmission and reception technology, the company reduced the size and cost of its LiDAR, optimizing it for outdoor use in harsh automotive environments.
Beyond cars and robots, AutoL’s LiDAR sensors are ideal for autonomous drones, industrial and agricultural machinery, and personal mobility devices. They can even be used in smart city applications such as automated parking and security systems.
At the exhibition, AutoL introduced its ‘G192 LiDAR,’ a state-of-the-art model featuring 192 channels that provide high-resolution performance. Designed for seamless integration with high-level autonomous vehicles, the G192 is optimized for roof mounting, ensuring peak functionality. It boasts broad applicability across various industries, meeting diverse customer needs.
The compact design, optimized for roof mounting, features a 25-degree extended vertical field of view. This enables versatile usage while delivering photo-like high-resolution imaging through its 192 channels.
Additionally, AutoL showcased its high-resolution long-range LiDAR sensor, the G32, which has a detection range of over 250 meters and is ideal for front detection in autonomous driving. The company explained, “The G32 meets automotive durability standards and, by simplifying the structure through patented technology, maximizes resolution and detection range, allowing it to be mass-produced at an affordable price. We supply samples to domestic autonomous driving companies and research institutions.”
Another product, the M32, is a high-resolution mid-range LiDAR sensor suited for front and side detection with a detection range of over 150 meters. Its small and lightweight design makes it easy to mount in specific locations, and like the G32, it maintains consistent detection performance across the entire field of view.
FIX 2024 featured specialized exhibitions, conferences, and business programs focusing on mobility, robotics, AI, and startups. The Daegu International Future Auto & Mobility Expo 2024 at EXCO’s East Wing showcased trends in UAM, autonomous driving, batteries, components, and services. Meanwhile, the 2024 ICT Convergence Expo Korea, held in the West Wing, exhibited AI, big data, blockchain, ICT, and metaverse technologies. The 2024 Daegu Robot Expo displayed industrial robots, humanoid robots, and digital transformation solutions for the robotics industry. The “Start-up Arena” was introduced to facilitate meetings between startups and experts from startup accelerators like Samsung C-Lab and Plug and Play.
