NanoSystems, a South Korea-based company specializing in industrial safety LiDAR solutions, has secured seed funding from Bluepoint Partners, with the investment amount undisclosed.

Founded in 2013, NanoSystems develops 3D flash LiDAR technology and holds core expertise in optical design, signal processing, and laser control for LiDAR systems.

With 11 years of accumulated technology, NanoSystems has made significant strides in autonomous robots, public infrastructure, and industrial safety sectors. The company expects its revenue to double this year, reaching approximately 5 billion KRW.

NanoSystems’ LiDAR for autonomous robots has been recognized for its enhanced driving capabilities, thanks to its proprietary sensors tailored for AI. The company supplies components to major firms, including a leading company A and a prominent collaborative robot company B. In the second half of 2024, it plans to deliver LiDAR for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) to the factory of display company C.

In public infrastructure, NanoSystems has introduced its 3D LiDAR sensors at Pyeongtaek and Byeongjeom stations, following a three-year field test and certification process with Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL). It plans to supply its products to KORAIL through a railway partner later this year.

With this new investment, NanoSystems aims to ramp up mass production and advance the development of next-generation products. The company is particularly focused on commercializing its ‘ROBOSCAN’ product, designed to provide autonomous driving solutions for robots while minimizing distortions at close range for stable operation.

Ji Chang-hyeon, CEO of NanoSystems, said, “Securing our first institutional investment highlights the market potential of our diverse product lineup. Our goal is to provide high-reliability LiDAR sensors to companies struggling with the high costs of overseas 3D LiDAR sensors.”
