The Sony AS-DT1 LiDAR Depth Sensor, a significant advancement in 3D sensing, is expected to hit the market in Spring 2026. The AS-DT1 integrates Sony’s advanced Direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) technology with a SPAD (Single Photon Avalanche Diode) sensor to deliver accurate, high-speed depth measurements in real time. This compact sensor technology will make it an ideal solution for industry applications in robotics, autonomous navigation for obstacle avoidance, and industrial automation.
Designed for applications that demand precision in a small, this lightweight form factor sensor is expected to measure just 29 mm x 29 mm x 31 mm and weigh only 34 g.
The compact sensor delivers exceptional indoor and outdoor performance with up to ±0.4 cm accuracy indoors and ±2 cm outdoors at 10 meters. It can detect low-reflectivity surfaces and operates at ranges up to 40 meters indoors and 20 meters outdoors, even in bright ambient lighting.
This sensor is expected to feature USB-C and UART connectivity, plus a trigger input for easy integration, which is crucial for developers seeking reliable depth data in space-constrained environments.
The development of the Sony AS-DT1 - LiDAR Depth Sensor positions Sony as a major player in the LiDAR sensor market, offering developers powerful tools for spatial awareness and object detection. This sensor will revolutionize industries that utilize Autonomous Mobile Robots- AMR and UAV's to track, analyze, and inspect.
