MicroVision alternatives

MicroVision is a Redmond, Washington developer of lidar sensors and perception software, founded in 1993, that has repositioned itself as a consolidator of the lidar industry, serving automotive, industrial and security and defence customers in the United States, Germany and internationally. Buyers comparing robot sensing, LiDAR and machine vision suppliers often set that lidar-and-perception brief against companies sensing the world through cameras, touch or navigation instead. Oxipital AI, founded in 2012 and based in Bedford, Massachusetts, gives production-line robots and inspection systems the ability to see and judge highly variable products, with deployments in food processing, agriculture and consumer packaged goods manufacturing. PaXini, founded in Shenzhen in 2021, specialises in the sense of touch for embodied AI, building multi-dimensional tactile sensors, tactile dexterous hands and tactile humanoid robots. Tachin, founded in Beijing in 2020, builds electronic skin and flexible tactile sensing with a full-chain stack covering materials, devices, circuits and algorithms for embodied AI and other industries. Advanced Navigation, founded in Sydney in 2012, develops inertial navigation that keeps working where GPS signals are unreliable, denied or unavailable, serving defence, mining, marine and subsea, aerospace and automotive customers. Choose MicroVision for lidar sensors and perception software, Oxipital AI for visual inspection and vision-guided picking, PaXini for tactile sensing and dexterous hands, Tachin for electronic skin, and Advanced Navigation for GPS-independent navigation.
