dSPACE and Hesai collaborate on simulating lidar for ADAS
Hesai Technology and dSPACE have entered into a technology partnership to accelerate the development of ADAS and level 4 autonomous driving applications. As part of the partnership, dSPACE has integrated lidar sensor models from Hesai into the dSPACE sensor simulation platform — AURELION. Developers can now easily access Hesai lidar models via AURELION.
“Models for the most commonly used Hesai lidar sensors are now part of our AURELION sensor simulation platform. By expanding our technology partnerships with the world’s leading sensor manufacturers, we are extending our testing capabilities and reducing our customers’ costs from the development phase through to validation,” explains Caius Seiger, Product Manager Sensor Simulation at dSPACE.
AURELION can be operated both in the cloud and locally on the user’s premises and generates photo-realistic images for camera simulation in real time. Ray tracing is also used to calculate realistic raw data for radar and lidar. The system can be implemented in all phases of the development process — for example, software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, or in parallel validation in the cloud.
Hesai lidar products are proven in a wide range of applications worldwide, including passenger and commercial vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous vehicles, and robotic applications such as last-mile delivery robots and automated guided vehicles (AGV).
With the integration of the Hesai lidars, developers of applications for autonomous driving can flexibly use high-quality lidar models on the AURELION platform, which provides synthetic data for the development, testing, and validation of systems and solutions for autonomous driving. This reduces the costs for training corner cases and allows autonomous vehicles to be developed, tested, and validated more quickly.
