MOVIA Pro is the company’s\nnext-generation short-range lidar sensor uniquely engineered to deliver\ndifferentiated sensing performance and onboard perception capabilities, with\nflexible integration across intelligent infrastructure, unmanned aerial,\nindustrial robotics, and other emerging autonomous applications. \n\n\n\nAs the lidar industry transitions toward solid-state architectures that enable\ncost-effective sensing solutions, MicroVision’s MOVIA Pro is designed to\ndeliver enhanced short-range detection performance for demanding applications.\nBy combining advanced sensing capabilities with onboard perception, MOVIA Pro\nmakes high-performance lidar more accessible across a broader range of\nautonomous and intelligent systems.  \n\nMOVIA Pro joins the company's broader portfolio of short- and long-range lidar\ntechnologies, airborne sensing solutions and advanced perception software,\nproviding customers with configurable solutions for a growing range of\noperating environments. The launch of MOVIA Pro reinforces MicroVision's\ntransformation into a diversified perception technology company focused on\ndelivering commercially ready solutions for industrial, intelligent\ninfrastructure, security and defense, and emerging autonomous\napplications.  \n\n\"We’re thrilled to meet pent-up customer demand with this production launch\nof MOVIA Pro,” said Glen DeVos, CEO of MicroVision. “Customers are ready\nto progress from evaluation of prototypes to launching commercial programs,\nand we are pleased to support their progression. Our Orlando-based\nstate-of-the-art production facility is manufacturing MOVIA Pro to meet the\nincreasing demand. \n\nDeVos continued, \"With MOVIA Pro, we've combined high-performance sensing with\nonboard computing, an open software framework and industrial-ready\nconnectivity. This is one device that can sense, perceive, and act, providing\ncustomers with a more integrated and adaptable solution.\" \n\nOne Sensor That Sees, Understands, and Enables Solutions at the Edge \n\nMOVIA Pro is MicroVision’s production-ready version of MOVIA S, loaded with\nhigh-performance features and a differentiation that extends beyond sensing\nhardware. Built around an integrated processing architecture, MOVIA Pro\nenables perception software to run directly on the sensor through\nMicroVision's Open Software Framework. This allows developers and customers to\nbuild, deploy, and update applications on the device, rather than relying\nexclusively on external computing hardware to interpret point-cloud data. The\narchitecture enables MOVIA Pro to generate sensing information, process that\ninformation into actionable perception outputs, and communicate results\ndirectly to connected systems. \n\nKey capabilities include: \n* Onboard perception, edge AI, and open software: Processes point-cloud data\ndirectly on the sensor to generate object-level information, supporting AI at\nthe edge and reducing reliance on external computing devices. Multi-echo\nsensing enhances perception by capturing multiple returns from a single\nemitted pulse, helping detect objects in challenging conditions. An open,\nLinux-based software framework enables customers to develop, deploy, and\nupdate perception applications. \n* Flexible connectivity and industrial integration: Supports CAN, Gigabit and\n100Mbit Ethernet, and industrial-ready I/O and connectors to simplify\nintegration with industrial equipment, vehicles, and control systems. \n* Software-defined evolution: Enables capabilities and enhancements through\nsoftware updates, with a foundation for future-edge computing and AI-ready\ncapabilities. \nBy combining sensing and perception in a single device, MOVIA Pro is designed\nto reduce system complexity, cabling and external hardware requirements while\nsupporting more efficient integration, maintenance and future upgrades.  \n\nMovia Pro is MicroVision’s next-generation short-range lidar sensor that\ndelivers integrated perception and multi-echo sensing, built for flexible\nintegration across various commercial applications. \n\nPurpose-Built for High-Value Commercial Applications \n\nMOVIA Pro is designed to support a broad range of commercial and defense\napplications, with MicroVision prioritizing markets where advanced short-range\nperception can address immediate operational challenges and enable new levels\nof automation. Its configurable sensing and perception architecture supports\napplications across: \n* Aerial Systems – Civil and Defense: Supporting navigation, obstacle\nawareness, mapping, environmental perception and autonomous operations for\nunmanned platforms, where compact sensing, onboard processing and reliable\nperception are critical. \n* Intelligent Transportation and Smart Infrastructure: Enabling intelligent\nintersections, traffic monitoring, automated traffic enforcement,\ninfrastructure surveillance and connected transportation systems through\nhigh-resolution sensing, broad field of view, and industrial connectivity.\nAnonymized sensing capabilities can support monitoring applications where\nprivacy is a consideration.  \n* Warehouse and Industrial Automation: Supporting obstacle detection,\nenvironmental awareness and automated navigation for autonomous mobile robots\n(AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), forklift advanced driver-assistance\nsystems and other intelligent industrial equipment. Continuous near-field\ncoverage, multi-echo capabilities and onboard perception help address dynamic\nenvironments where people, equipment and autonomous machines operate in close\nproximity. \n* Security, Defense, and Emerging Applications: Supporting infrastructure\nprotection, autonomous ground systems, off-road unmanned ground vehicles,\nmarine systems, commercial vehicles and selected automotive applications,\nincluding low-speed autonomy, blind-spot detection and off-road assistance.  \nAvailability and Product Information \n\nMOVIA Pro is now available for customer orders.
