Description

They have developed a hybrid LiDAR system called SL-1 that combines motor scanning with a solid-state MEMS mirror, offering a more affordable option compared to traditional LiDAR products. In addition to SL-1, they also offer two other LiDAR products for factory automation, robotics, security, and automatic doors. SOS Lab is focused on integrating hardware-based sensors and AI-based object recognition technology using 3D point cloud LiDAR data, with the goal of providing LiDAR solutions for self-driving vehicles. They are partnering with automotive electronic equipment companies and global semiconductor companies to develop the next generation of Solid-State-LiDAR and expand their presence in the self-driving and ADAS markets. SOS Lab plans to enter global markets based on their R&D centers in Seoul and Gwangju and business centers in Silicon Valley, with the aim of making autonomous vehicles and smart cities safer with their high-quality and reasonably priced LiDAR sensors.

Jiseong Jeong

Jiseong Jeong is the co-founder and CEO of SOS Lab. He received his masters degree in mechatronics from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), and is a PhD candidate in the same field, specializing in optical sensors and scanning architecture. In 2016, while pursuing his PhD, Jiseong noticed the limitations of the available, leading LiDAR technology, and saw the perfect opportunity to combine his technological background with his passion for business and found SOS Lab to become a global competitor in the emerging LiDAR market. Just two years later, his company has already achieved notable success and distinction, winning Best New Product at KES 2017 and the Grand Prize at KSME-SEMES 2017, and presenting their products and designs at major tech conferences across the world. Jiseong and his team are currently working towards new breakthroughs in hybrid-LiDAR technology, with the goal of improving efficiency of LiDAR scanners while meeting the demands of the market.
