About Ouster

Ouster is a San Francisco-based maker of digital lidar sensors, listed on Nasdaq, founded in 2015. Its OS family — the OSDome and the OS0, OS1 and OS2 scanning sensors — is built on a digital architecture that replaces the analogue electronics of legacy lidar, and the company also sells the Velodyne legacy sensor lines it acquired in 2023, including the VLP-16, plus a solid-state DF series in development. Around the hardware it layers software: the Gemini perception platform and the BlueCity solution for intelligent transport systems turn raw point clouds into traffic and safety analytics. Ouster sells into four markets — automotive, industrial, robotics and smart infrastructure — across the Americas, Asia-Pacific and EMEA, and employs roughly 320 people.

Its pitch to buyers is that one digital sensor platform can serve a forklift, a mining truck, a robot and a city intersection, with falling per-unit costs as volumes rise. For global partners, Ouster matters as one of the few Western lidar makers with a broad installed base, public-company reporting and a software layer on top of the sensors — relevant to infrastructure operators and robot fleets that need perception plus data services rather than hardware alone.
