Ouster Brings Support for REV8 Digital Lidar to Robotics and Edge AI Ecosystem
Ouster adds Rev8 OS digital lidar integrations across the NVIDIA Jetson Platform
Brings native color lidar sensing to the NVIDIA Robotics ecosystem to power the next wave of Physical AI
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ouster, Inc. (Nasdaq: OUST) (“Ouster” or the “Company”), a leader in sensing and perception for Physical AI, today announced the integration of its new Rev8 OS family of digital lidar sensors across the NVIDIA Jetson platform.
Rev8 is powered by next-generation L4 Ouster Silicon and represents a dramatic leap in lidar performance. Featuring the world’s first native color lidar sensors, Rev8 delivers double the range and resolution of previous generations, all while being engineered for functional safety, reliability, and affordability at scale. By building and maintaining dedicated plugins for the NVIDIA Jetson platform, Ouster ensures that every sensor is optimized for the high-throughput requirements of Physical AI.
Key features of the Rev8 integration across the NVIDIA Jetson platform include:
- Dedicated NVIDIA JetPack Plugins: Ouster develops and maintains optimized plugins for its sensors across all NVIDIA JetPack software, including Isaac ROS, allowing Rev8’s rich, high-density point clouds to be ingested directly into NVIDIA’s hardware-accelerated perception pipelines.
- Accelerated Development with NVIDIA Isaac Sim: With native support for Rev8 sensors within the open NVIDIA Isaac Sim simulation framework, developers can harness physically accurate 3D lidar models to evaluate range, resolution, color, and intensity to generate accurate synthetic data to train machine learning models and validate full perception pipelines prior to physical deployment.
- Edge Processing on Jetson Orin and Thor: Ouster’s drivers are tuned to leverage NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin™and Jetson Thor, providing the real-time, low-latency processing required for 3D SLAM, obstacle detection, and sensor fusion at the edge.
Ouster is moving beyond hardware compatibility, empowering developers to harness 3D perception data with the full velocity of the NVIDIA accelerated computing stack. As a NVIDIA NPN partner, Ouster is committed to a production-ready ecosystem where hardware and software work in lockstep to solve the most complex challenges in Physical AI.
“Ouster and NVIDIA’s expanded collaboration marks a pivotal moment for the robotics community,” said Ouster CEO Angus Pacala. “By integrating our Rev8 sensors with NVIDIA Jetson, we’re ensuring rich, high-fidelity 3D digital lidar data is fully harnessed by NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and development tools. Together, we are providing the essential building blocks for Physical AI, enabling machines to sense, think, and act in the real world with more speed and precision than ever before.”
