Nanosystems, a 3D LiDAR sensor specialist, announced on the 9th that it had attracted pre-Series A investment from Daesung Venture Investment.
Following a seed investment from Bluepoint Partners last year, the company secured follow-up funding just one year later. Nanosystems is developing and mass-producing a flash-based 3D lidar sensor. The flash-based sensor has the unique ability to visualize the coordinates and distances of close-range objects in image form, making it highly useful in applications that integrate with vision AI.
Based on this, we are applying it to industrial robots and safety monitoring solutions to enable precise identification of workers' locations and risk situations in manufacturing sites.
In particular, with the enforcement of the Serious Accident Punishment Act, industrial safety regulations have been strengthened, leading to a growing demand for real-time detection and prevention of collision risks between robots and workers in manufacturing processes. Nanosystems is capitalizing on this market shift by applying industrial robot safety solutions to expand its sales. A Daesung Venture Investment representative stated, "Unlike existing lidar companies focused on autonomous vehicles, which take time to develop and commercialize, Nanosystems has successfully developed and commercialized lidar optimized for industrial robots and safety."
He added, “We expect that this investment will enable us to establish a mass production system, expand sales, and even enter the global market.”
