NAMUGA launches next-gen 3D sensing solutions

Revolutionary technology

"The Stella series represents our vision for transforming 3D sensing," said Dr. Sam Heidari, CEO of Lumotive. "By leveraging our proven LCM technology, we're enabling a new generation of sensing solutions that deliver superior reliability and performance while significantly reducing size and cost."

"Our collaboration with Lumotive brings unprecedented capabilities to the market," said Don Lee, CEO of NAMUGA. "The Stella series demonstrates our commitment to delivering innovative sensing solutions that meet real-world deployment needs."

Market-focused solutions

The Stella series addresses diverse market needs through two distinct solutions. Stella, with its compact design and 25-meter range, targets indoor applications where precision and reliability are paramount. Its optimised 10Hz frame rate and 120° × 90° field of view make it ideal for pick and place robotics, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and industrial automation systems requiring accurate navigation in structured environments.

Stella 2 extends these capabilities with its enhanced 80-meter range and 20Hz frame rate, designed for more demanding outdoor applications. Its advanced features, including superior object detection and tracking, make it particularly effective for security systems, drones, and smart infrastructure applications requiring extended range and higher scanning speeds.

Advanced capabilities

Both solutions leverage Lumotive's solid-state beam steering technology, which eliminates moving parts and enables software-defined scanning capabilities.

This approach allows for:

• Dynamic performance optimisation through APIs
• Real-time adjustments to key sensing parameters
• Advanced scanning modes including Regions of Interest
• Superior performance in challenging lighting conditions

Commercial impact

The Stella series brings the proven capabilities of Lumotive's MD42 platform to new market segments, offering manufacturers a path to reduce development cycles from 18 months to three–six months. This accelerated timeline, combined with the solutions' compact form factor and solid-state reliability, enables rapid deployment across multiple industries.

Availability

Product demonstrations will be available at CES 2025 in Las Vegas. Commercial deployment is scheduled for Q2 2025.
