"Unmanned ticket are out, pilotless be far behind?"
Last year, Angel first saw Robbin Lee say these words, which is quite exciting. After all, the country can compete in unmanned technology with Google and other giants, he wants to do in addition to Baidu.
But after the excitement, calm thought: No, ah, demand is really shaping it? Cost really controllable yet? Technology really break it?
Laser radar, yes, whenever mentioned autopilot or unmanned, always not avoid the problem: Can you imagine in the entire automotive industry chain, we can control almost 99.99% of the cost of hardware, but the only core equipment but it always difficult to break the impasse?
As the core of unmanned sensors, laser radar plays an irreplaceable role. However, the existing practice, the unmanned market is not the main applications of laser radar, it is not as high as we imagine the cold, in fact, maybe now you room to tummy a O (∩_ ∩) O
So today, we will take a look and cherubs laser radar market segments it!
AGV field
Refers AGV automatic guided vehicles, by means mounting the unique automatic guidance system, capable of existing vehicles traveling apparatus in accordance with a predetermined guide path, In essence, it belongs to a wheeled movable AGV robotic equipment. Widely used in industrial production, logistics, warehousing, transportation specific environment, military, electronics and other fields.
AGV industry, according to network data, AGV 2015 domestic sales of 4280 units, largely confined to transportation purposes, with the development of 3D laser radar, laser radar and the combination of AGV forklift came into being in 2015 domestic sales of about 300 units, but laser radar device which mainly rely on imports, does not have an advantage over the original price on the truck. Benefit from the cost and scale effect, domestic enterprises can now cost 3D radar to 3 yuan / sets (import price is about 6-10 million / set), expected in 2015, the domestic price will drop 3D laser radar to 4,000 yuan, then, 3D laser radar will be one of the standard configuration of the AGV, the industry is expected to reach 40% penetration rate. Its market is estimated as follows:
Robotics
Robot laser radar technology is the most mature areas such as smart home cleaning robot, robot family aide, entertainment robot, educational robot, laser radar, both have large number of applications, but its core technology focused on the two-dimensional laser radar level .
In the classification of the laser radar, laser radar is mainly used for one-dimensional distance measurement, major manufacturers such as Bosch, Leica like; two-dimensional laser radar is mainly used for measuring the contour, position and area surveillance, major manufacturers are Hokuyo Japan, Germany SICK, Germany IBEO like; three-dimensional laser radar can be used for three-dimensional dynamic modeling, we know unmanned use is three-dimensional laser radar.
At present, the two-dimensional laser radar technology is more mature, lidar manufacturer to think Lan technology as the representative of the bulk purchases already cost control in less than 600 yuan. Due to the low cost, but the larger robot service performance, combined with extensive market space applications, many organizations are very optimistic about the subsequent application of the technology industry as a whole in 2017 penetration rate of around 15%. 2025 is expected to be exceeded 40%.
Unmanned areas
The most important prerequisite to achieve unmanned perception alternative, instead of the human brain through the sensing device to the external environment to identify and perception. In all sensor devices, laser radar undoubtedly belongs to the highest value-added products. Be applied in the field of unmanned laser radar, according to the different strands, the cost varies. In general, the higher the harness, the higher the cost of the laser radar.
When present, Quanergy company by lowering harnesses dimensions and the use of solid-state technology, so the cost down to around $ 250, domestic enterprises think Lan technology, the amount of about 1 million units may exceed the purchase amount, a single harness the price can be reduced to 600 yuan or less.
According to the latest report shows that in 2022 global lidar (LiDAR) market is expected to reach $ 5.2048 billion, between 2017 to 2022 compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach 25.8%. As the market demand for molding, landing unmanned technology implementation is also just around the corner, in this trend, the market outlook laser radar will show a sea of blue.
