Engineering firm, Aeva, has licensed Cadence Tensilica Vision DSP IP to accelerate signal processing in its 4D LiDAR systems. The aim is to enable more flexible and scalable solutions for industrial robotics and automotive applications.
Cadence Tensilica Vision DSPs deliver a suitable combination of programmability and performance, as required by Aeva. The DSPs’ inherent low-power architecture and customisable Tensilica Instruction Extension (TIE) language make them ideal for real-time signal processing, where latency and efficiency are critical.
“Cadence is committed to enabling our customers to build smarter, safer and more connected systems for edge and physical AI applications, and we look forward to collaborating with Aeva to redefine perception with their groundbreaking 4D LiDAR technology,” said Amol Borkar, Group Director of product management and marketing for Tensilica DSPs at Cadence.
LiDAR technology enables precise 3D mapping and object detection in robotics, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation and other physical AI applications at the edge. Its ability to deliver high-resolution depth information makes it indispensable for safety and navigation. Aeva’s 4D LiDAR technology goes a step further by detecting velocity and position simultaneously, empowering autonomous devices to make safer, more intelligent decisions.
