Learn intuitively about the differences between automotive millimeter-wave radar and LiDAR through principles and videos [Web Seminar]

Concentrating the trends in distance and image sensor applications and key technologies into one book!

This book consolidates the technology and application development of distance and image sensors that enable human interaction such as autonomous movement, human and object detection and manipulation, VR, AR, and gesture recognition. Chapter 1 discusses the actual usage and requirements characteristics and challenges in various application scenarios, while Chapter 2 explains the principles and technologies of various types of distance and image sensors, as well as the essential technologies that enable their implementation. The structure and content are designed so that even those outside the field can understand the latest trends in distance and image sensors and consider suitable means of realization according to their requirements. We hope this will be useful not only for those involved with distance and image sensors but also for users promoting new devices and services.

Explaining the characteristics, positioning, and cutting-edge product technology of LiDAR, an essential technology from autonomous driving level 3.

The recent boom in autonomous driving can be said to be supported by the performance of Velodyne's LiDAR. Velodyne developed LiDAR at the request of a team from Stanford University to win an autonomous driving contest organized by the U.S. Department of Defense. After winning the Urban Challenge, the Stanford team moved to Google, where they established the de facto standard for current autonomous driving systems. In Japan, demonstrations of autonomous driving have also begun, with LiDAR playing a significant role. However, since there are no Japanese-made LiDAR systems, the ones being used are from Velodyne. Therefore, I conceived this book project to contribute to the development of LiDAR, which will be a key technology for autonomous driving in Japan. This book has been written by leading researchers and engineers in the field of LiDAR, covering everything from basic principles to applications. While it does not cover everything about LiDAR due to its emphasis on timeliness, it is believed that most of the major topics have been introduced. I hope this book will be of some reference to researchers and engineers involved with LiDAR.

Condensing millimeter-wave hardware technology into a single volume from a practical perspective.

This book explains the overview of technologies and development trends regarding antennas and high-frequency circuits, which are important component parts. It summarizes the development trends of automotive millimeter-wave radar and millimeter-wave communication as representative applications of millimeter-wave technology, and also introduces millimeter-wave imaging, which is a future sensing technology. Furthermore, to reduce the cost of millimeter-wave systems, high-frequency substrates are used for antennas and high-frequency circuits, as they are crucial technologies that influence the performance and cost of millimeter-wave systems. Examples of high-frequency substrate development are also presented. High-frequency substrates are being developed by various companies, and advancements in performance are being pursued with keywords such as low loss, low cost, multilayering, and stable characteristics, making it a field to watch in the future. Additionally, to maintain stable system performance, it is necessary to avoid interference issues that constantly arise in radio wave systems, and the design of radio wave absorbers specific to the millimeter-wave frequency band is discussed. In the millimeter-wave band, the properties of these materials differ from those at low frequencies, making accurate information on the electrical constants of materials extremely important for the design of antennas and high-frequency circuits. Finally, the book discusses the measurement techniques for the electrical constants of materials, antennas, and radar systems in the millimeter-wave band.

An era where AI provides "answers." Is there someone in your company who can "ask questions" themselves? Simply introducing AI will not change a company. When people grow, organizations change. The "Future Research Group on People and Organizations" is a series of four practical workshops aimed at business owners, successors, executives, department heads, and next-generation leaders, focusing on the management skills necessary to "nurture people and drive organizations" in the coming era. Rather than passively "listening" to lectures, participants will bring their own management challenges and emphasize self-questioning through dialogue with experienced business leaders and fellow participants. Throughout the four sessions, we aim for participants to take home the following "four values": - A measure for judgment - An external sounding board - Their own management challenges - Their own reform concepts **Target Audience** Business owners / successors / executives / department heads / next-generation leaders **Locations** East Japan: Tokyo Transportation Hall (Yurakucho) West Japan: AP Osaka Station Front **Capacity** Limited to 10 companies and 20 participants from each region *Participation of two people from one company is recommended. **Participation Fee** 200,000 yen per company / 120,000 yen per person *For all four sessions Please join us for an opportunity to think about and discuss your company's challenges regarding management and human resource development in the AI era, and to connect these discussions to reform concepts.
