Seyond alternatives

Seyond supplies image-grade LiDAR sensors and perception software for mobility and infrastructure from Sunnyvale, California, where it was founded in Silicon Valley in 2016 as Innovusion. Its markets cover global automotive ADAS and autonomy, intelligent transportation, robotics, and stationary and off-road applications, and it listed on HKEX in December 2025 via a de-SPAC merger, raising approximately HK$1.03 billion per the funding note. Sharpa addresses manipulation rather than sensing at range, building dexterous humanoid robots whose tactile hands reach up to 22 degrees of freedom, alongside foundation models for contact-rich tasks. Shining 3D offers a different kind of 3D capture from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, where it has developed high-precision scanning hardware and software since 2004 for manufacturing, healthcare and dental, education, research and heritage sectors, with offices also in Germany and the United States. SICK, founded in Waldkirch, Germany in 1946, brings industrial sensing at scale, with around 12,000 employees and laser scanners described in its record as reference technology for mobile-robot navigation and safety, plus safety light curtains and safe encoder systems. SIKO, founded in Buchenbach in 1963, supplies rotary encoders, motor feedback and positioning systems, with company-stated figures of 300 employees worldwide and presence in 50 countries. Seyond fits teams buying LiDAR-led perception; consider Sharpa when hands matter most, Shining 3D for digitising, SICK for safety sensing, and SIKO for position feedback.
