Ouster will supply digital lidar sensors to AIM Intelligent Machines. AIM develops AI-powered systems for autonomous heavy earthmoving equipment. The agreement ensures a high-volume supply of Ouster's sensors. AIM's autonomy kits retrofit machinery. These kits serve the mining, construction, and defense industries. This expands an existing multi-year collaboration commercially.
AIM plans to integrate Ouster’s new REV8 sensor. This sensor provides native color 3D data. This technology is expected to enhance perception capabilities for AIM's autonomous systems. It improves object classification and safety in complex industrial environments, such as dust-filled work sites. AIM's retrofit kits install on existing machinery in under 24 hours. They operate independently of GPS or cloud infrastructure.
