Ouster

Digital LiDAR for robotics and autonomy, born from the Ouster-Velodyne merger

Ouster is a US digital-LiDAR maker, formed through a merger with Velodyne, supplying 3D sensing solutions for robotics, autonomy, and industrial applications.

Ouster was formed by the merger of Ouster and Velodyne Lidar, combining two pioneering US LiDAR companies into a single entity with a broad product portfolio spanning spinning and solid-state sensors. The company's digital LiDAR architecture uses CMOS-based detector arrays, enabling high channel counts and competitive pricing at scale. Ouster's sensors are deployed in mobile robots, autonomous vehicles, infrastructure monitoring, and humanoid research platforms that require reliable 3D environment mapping. The combined entity's broad intellectual property and customer base positions it as a significant supplier as LiDAR adoption in robotics continues to grow.
