Ouster Brings Support for REV8 Digital Lidar to Robotics and Edge AI Ecosystem

Key Terms

digital lidar technical

Digital lidar is a way of measuring distances and building 3D maps by sending pulses of laser light and recording the returns with electronic detectors and processors, producing a digital ‘point cloud’ that represents an object or environment like a 3D photo. For investors it matters because digital designs (using solid-state sensors and software) can lower cost, improve reliability and scale more easily than mechanical systems, affecting companies’ ability to win markets in areas such as autonomous vehicles, drones and mapping.

native color lidar technical

Native color LiDAR is a light-based 3D sensing system that captures precise distance measurements and true-color imagery together, producing a full-color three-dimensional map rather than a black-and-white scan. For investors it matters because this integrated output reduces the need for separate cameras or time-consuming color-matching, speeds automated analysis for mapping, inspection and autonomous systems, and can improve product accuracy, usefulness and market competitiveness.

nvidia jetson technical

A Nvidia Jetson is a family of small, power-efficient computer modules and development kits designed to run advanced AI and video-processing software directly on devices like robots, drones, cameras and factory equipment. Think of it as a tiny, specialized brain that lets machines understand images, sounds and sensor data without always sending that data to the cloud; for investors, widespread use signals demand in the edge-AI hardware and software market and can drive recurring ecosystem sales and partnerships.

nvidia jetpack technical

NVIDIA JetPack is a software bundle that installs the operating system, drivers and ready-made libraries used to build and run AI, computer-vision and robotics applications on small, power-efficient edge computers. It matters to investors because JetPack reduces the technical work required for product makers to adopt the platform—similar to providing a ready-made toolkit—so wider, faster adoption can expand device sales and the surrounding software ecosystem, supporting future revenue streams.

nvidia isaac sim technical

A software platform that creates realistic virtual environments where robots and autonomous systems can be developed, tested and trained without physical hardware. Like a flight simulator for robots, it lets engineers run many scenarios quickly and cheaply, reducing development time and risk; for investors, that can translate into faster product rollouts, lower costs, recurring software revenue and broader adoption of robotic and AI solutions.

sensor fusion technical

Sensor fusion is the process of combining data from multiple sensors—like cameras, radar, microphones, or motion detectors—to create a single, clearer picture of what’s happening in the real world. For investors, better fusion means products and systems that are safer, more reliable, or smarter (think a car using several eyes and ears to avoid collisions), which can reduce costs, speed product adoption, and improve a company’s competitive edge.

Ouster adds Rev8 OS digital lidar integrations across the NVIDIA Jetson Platform

Brings native color lidar sensing to the NVIDIA Robotics ecosystem to power the next wave of Physical AI

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ouster, Inc. (Nasdaq: OUST) (“Ouster” or the “Company”), a leader in sensing and perception for Physical AI, today announced the integration of its new Rev8 OS family of digital lidar sensors across the NVIDIA Jetson platform.

Ouster adds Rev8 OS digital lidar integrations across the NVIDIA Jetson Platform.

Rev8 is powered by next-generation L4 Ouster Silicon and represents a dramatic leap in lidar performance. Featuring the world’s first native color lidar sensors, Rev8 delivers double the range and resolution of previous generations, all while being engineered for functional safety, reliability, and affordability at scale. By building and maintaining dedicated plugins for the NVIDIA Jetson platform, Ouster ensures that every sensor is optimized for the high-throughput requirements of Physical AI.

Key features of the Rev8 integration across the NVIDIA Jetson platform include:

• Dedicated NVIDIA JetPack Plugins: Ouster develops and maintains optimized plugins for its sensors across all NVIDIA JetPack software, including Isaac ROS, allowing Rev8’s rich, high-density point clouds to be ingested directly into NVIDIA’s hardware-accelerated perception pipelines.
• Accelerated Development with NVIDIA Isaac Sim: With native support for Rev8 sensors within the open NVIDIA Isaac Sim simulation framework, developers can harness physically accurate 3D lidar models to evaluate range, resolution, color, and intensity to generate accurate synthetic data to train machine learning models and validate full perception pipelines prior to physical deployment.
• Edge Processing on Jetson Orin and Thor: Ouster’s drivers are tuned to leverage NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin™and Jetson Thor, providing the real-time, low-latency processing required for 3D SLAM, obstacle detection, and sensor fusion at the edge.

Ouster is moving beyond hardware compatibility, empowering developers to harness 3D perception data with the full velocity of the NVIDIA accelerated computing stack. As a NVIDIA NPN partner, Ouster is committed to a production-ready ecosystem where hardware and software work in lockstep to solve the most complex challenges in Physical AI.

“Ouster and NVIDIA’s expanded collaboration marks a pivotal moment for the robotics community,” said Ouster CEO Angus Pacala. “By integrating our Rev8 sensors with NVIDIA Jetson, we’re ensuring rich, high-fidelity 3D digital lidar data is fully harnessed by NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and development tools. Together, we are providing the essential building blocks for Physical AI, enabling machines to sense, think, and act in the real world with more speed and precision than ever before.”
