SOS LAB Solid-State 3D & 2D LiDAR Sensors

SOS LAB Co., Ltd. is a South Korean LiDAR company founded on 22 June 2016 and headquartered in Gwangju, with R&D centres in Gwangju and Pangyo, production facilities in Anyang and a US branch in San Jose. It designs LiDAR sensors and the software that turns point clouds into usable information, and listed on KOSDAQ in June 2024.

Its 3D LiDAR line (ML-X, ML-U 190, SL-U) uses a fully fixed, solid-state structure for autonomous driving, smart cities and robotics, working across lighting and weather conditions. The GL series of 2D LiDAR, such as GL-3 and GL-5 with a 270° scan, serves robot navigation and industrial safety. A data solution layer adds processing, sensor fusion, AI object recognition and 3D mapping, used in parking guidance, congestion analysis and spatial intelligence services.

• ML-X 3D LiDAR: fully fixed solid-state sensor used as the core sensor for autonomous driving.
• ML-U and SL-U: compact 3D LiDAR for smart city and robotics installations.
• GL series 2D LiDAR: precise scanners for robot navigation and industrial safety, GL-5 with 270° scan.
• Data solution: point cloud processing, sensor fusion, AI object recognition and 3D map generation.
• Parking guidance: real-time detection of free spaces shown on signage and web platforms.
• Congestion monitoring: crowd density analysis for airports and public venues.

Airport and shopping mall operators in Vietnam can deploy LiDAR parking guidance and congestion monitoring without digging up surfaces. AGV and AMR makers can integrate GL-series 2D LiDAR for navigation and safety zones. Smart city projects can use 3D LiDAR at intersections for privacy-preserving pedestrian and vehicle counting.

Solid-state LiDAR has no rotating parts, which improves durability and suits mass deployment on roads, buildings and robots. The parking guidance system reports over 99% accuracy, monitors up to 50 spaces per sensor and needs no excavation. Software for fusion, AI recognition and 3D maps lets buyers get analytics rather than raw point clouds. The company cites 166 completed projects for government agencies, institutions and companies.

LiDAR prices are falling as solid-state designs replace mechanical scanners, opening uses beyond autonomous cars in parking, traffic, crowd management and mobile robots. Cities want privacy-preserving sensing that counts people and vehicles without cameras. Fast-growing urban areas, airports and logistics hubs in Vietnam and Southeast Asia are adopting smart parking, warehouse robots and crowd monitoring.

Founded on 22 June 2016; headquartered in Gwangju, South Korea, with R&D centres in Gwangju and Pangyo, a production technology centre in Anyang, an IR centre in Seoul and a US branch in San Jose. Listed on KOSDAQ through a technology special listing in June 2024. More than 140 employees in 2026, 75% in R&D. Won an innovation award at WSCE Awards 2026.
