On April 11, 2025, SONY announced the launch of the new dTOF LiDAR depth sensor AS-DT1. AS the official authorized distributor of SONY (China) *1, Xuanzhan Technology has always been committed to promoting and applying cutting-edge technologies and presenting this innovative achievement to industry partners and users in the first place. Let’s witness together another milestone breakthrough of SONY in the field of intelligent perception.
First. Advantages in cutting-edge Technologies
The SONY S-DT1, with lightweight and compact design AS its core highlights, deeply integrates SONY’s miniaturization technology accumulated over many years in the field of industrial cameras and the precise craftsmanship in the field of optical lenses, achieving a perfect balance between performance and volume.
This breakthrough design enables the SONY S-DT1 to be easily embedded in application scenarios that are highly sensitive to space and weight, such AS unmanned aerial vehicle payloads and robot end perception, providing precise depth perception capabilities without affecting the overall flexibility of the device. Whether it is high-precision mapping, navigation in complex environments, or dynamic target tracking, AS-DT1 can empower terminal devices with outstanding performance and open up a new dimension of intelligent perception technology.
The new dToF LiDAR depth sensor AS-DT1 released by SONY has the following cutting-edge technological advantages:
1. Compact and lightweight design
Size and weight: The SONY S-DT1 measures only 9mm × 29mm × 31mm (excluding protruding parts) and weighs only 50 grams. It is highly suitable for application scenarios with strict requirements for space and weight, such AS unmanned aerial vehicles and robots.
2. High-precision measurement
Measurement technology: By adopting the “Direct Time of Flight (dToF)” LiDAR technology, the SONY AS-DT1 can complete the measurement, distance resolution and measurement range tasks quickly and accurately.
Ranging accuracy: When ranging in an indoor and outdoor environment at a distance of 10 meters, the SONY AS-DT1 can achieve a high precision with an error of less than ±5 centimeters. In addition, it still maintains high precision in long-distance measurements, with a maximum indoor distance of 40 meters and a maximum outdoor distance of 20 meters under strong summer light conditions (assuming 100,000 lux). It is applicable to the inspection of infrastructure such as Bridges, expressways and DAMS.
3. Strong adaptability to complex environments
Ranging of objects with low contrast and low reflectivity The SONY AS-DT1 can easily solve complex scene problems that are difficult for traditional ranging methods to reach, including ranging of low-contrast targets, low-reflectivity objects and suspended objects. This innovative technology enables it to still perform excellently when facing disturbances from personnel flow, suspended objects or fixed facilities, and can flexibly cope with complex dynamic environments such AS retail stores and warehouses. Robot integration suitable for environments such as stores and warehouses.
4. Exquisite and durable design
Sturdy shell The compact and lightweight body of SONY A-DT1, combined with a sturdy and durable aluminum alloy casing, endows it with excellent adaptability and reliability, making it more convenient to integrate into space-constrained devices, such AS inspection or mapping unmanned aerial vehicles that require weight control (weight affects endurance). Or autonomous mobile robots (restaurant food delivery robots, warehouse autonomous mobile robots) that need to install depth sensors in limited Spaces, providing reliable depth perception capabilities for various devices.
Second, the application scenarios are extensive
Robots and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) : The lightweight and compact design of SONY A-DT1 makes it highly suitable for integration into robots and UAVs, providing these devices with high-precision depth perception capabilities and enhancing their navigation and obstacle avoidance performance in complex environments.
Infrastructure inspection: The SONY AS-DT1 is suitable for the inspection of infrastructure such AS Bridges, expressways, and DAMS, and can provide reliable ranging data under long-distance and complex lighting conditions.
Retail and Warehousing: In environments such AS retail stores and warehouses, SONY AS-DT1 can help robots perceive the surrounding environment more accurately, improving their working efficiency and safety in dynamic environments.
Third. Presentation Plan and Listing
Presentation Plan: Xuanzhan Technology, the official authorized distributor of SONY (China), will make its debut at the 10th Shenzhen International Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Exhibition 2025 to be held at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center (Futian) from May 23rd to 25th, 2025. At that time, SONY’s new dTOF LiDAR depth sensor, AS-DT1, will be showcased for the first time. All industry experts, peers and enthusiasts are welcome to visit the booth of Xuanzhan Technology to experience the innovative charm of SONY AS-DT1 up close and explore its wide application in scenarios such AS low-altitude economy, logistics distribution and topographic mapping.
Release time: SONY AS-DT1 is expected to be launched in the spring of 2026.
Summary
The launch of SONY AS-DT1 not only continues SONY’s profound accumulation in sensor technology, but also redefines the industry standard of lidar with its outstanding performance, injecting new possibilities into scenarios such AS autonomous driving, robot navigation, and 3D modeling. Xuanzhan Technology will join hands with SONY to continuously promote technological innovation and the implementation of its ecosystem, helping customers seize the boundless opportunities of the intelligent era.
