AMA Association
Innovation Prize 2024 awarded
This year's AMA Innovation Award from the AMA Association for Sensors and Measurement (AMA) honors the development team around Stanislav Aksarin. The prize was awarded at Sensor+Test 2024 in Nuremberg.
The winning team, consisting of Stanislav Aksarin, Vladimir Davydenko and Andy Zott from Scantinel Photonics, impressed the jury with their photonically integrated FMCW single-chip LiDAR. The single-chip FMCW-LiDAR is based on a photonically integrated platform. According to the developers, this technology takes autonomous mobility to the next level by solving the challenges of existing LIDAR sensors, using CMOS-compatible photonic integration platforms and significantly reducing the cost, size and weight of the final LiDAR system.
"On behalf of the entire jury, I congratulate this year's winning team, which demonstrates a very high technological level with its photonically integrated FMCW single-chip LiDAR," said Professor Andreas Schütze, jury chairman from Saarland University, explaining this year's decision. "With the integration of the optical function compatible with standard CMOS electronics, the cost, size and weight of complete LiDAR systems can be significantly reduced. This opens up new applications and new market potential. These are precisely the criteria that our jury uses as a basis. We assess the novelty, the level of innovation and the originality of the technical solution, as well as the market opportunities and the patent situation. The photonically integrated FMCW single-chip LiDAR brings everything together, a high technological level forms the basis, it is a genuine invention that has very good market opportunities."
