OPTIS™ in action
See how OPTIS™ transforms raw lidar data into actionable intelligence across real-world environments.
A Physical AI Powered CPU
OPTIS™ is AEye's brain behind the sensor. Combining APOLLO lidar, advanced software, and AI-powered compute, OPTIS helps machines detect, understand, and respond to the physical world in real time.
How it works
_01
APOLLO™ captures lidar data at up to 1km, delivering a point cloud of the environment.
_02
OPTIS™ perception software identifies and classifies objects
_03
The CPU processes intelligence with Physical AI to trigger decisions and alerts.
Smart Infrastructure
ITS runs on real-time decisions. OPTIS™ provides the long-range perception and AI processing to detect hazards, manage traffic flow, and respond faster without relying on cameras.
OPTIS™ + Apollo™: Better together
OPTIS™ is purpose-built for Apollo™. Together, they form a complete, integrated perception system with no additional software stack required.

Frequently asked questions
What is OPTIS™?
While Apollo™ provides the vision component, OPTIS™ is AEye’s complete physical AI solution. OPTIS™ provides high-resolution 3-D perception, integrated sensing and advanced computing suitable for a wide variety of applications, including Smart Transportation, Safety, and Security. What does this really mean? OPTIS™ can see objects, classify them and trigger a resulting action – like triggering a tolling camera or changing the traffic signal.
What industries benefit the most from OPTIS‘™ capabilities?
OPTIS™, AEye’s complete physical AI solution, delivers high-performance 3D perception and real-time intelligence for a wide range of industries. Some of these industries include:
- Automotive and Trucking
- Smart Infrastructure & Intelligent Transportation Systems
- Aviation & Aerospace
- Defense & Security
- Rail
- Logistics, Ports, and Industrial Automation
How is OPTIS™ different from a traditional lidar sensor?
Traditional lidar sensors provide raw perception data. OPTIS™ goes beyond detection by combining sensing, perception, and AI-powered decision support into a complete solution. Rather than simply identifying objects, OPTIS™ helps interpret what is happening and enables real-time responses.
Do I need to use Apollo™ with OPTIS™?
Yes, you do need to use Apollo™ with OPTIS™. Deployments pair OPTIS™ with Apollo ™ lidar sensors, forming a complete system for high-resolution 3D perception and real-time interpretation. This integration is essential: OPTIS™ leverages Apollo’s long-range, software-defined lidar to deliver advanced detection, decision-making, and responsive action for applications like intelligent transportation, logistics, and security. Contact our team to discuss architecture and integration options for your environment.
What is physical AI?
Physical AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that can perceive, understand, and interact with the real world. Unlike traditional AI, which operates primarily on digital information, Physical AI relies on real-time sensor data to make decisions and take action in physical environments.
