About Ouster
Ouster makes digital lidar sensors and perception software that give machines 3D vision. It makes money selling sensors to autonomous vehicle, industrial robotics, mapping, and smart infrastructure customers, and increasingly through software subscriptions that turn raw lidar data into decisions machines can act on.
Its OS series scanning sensors and DF series solid state sensors are built on a digital architecture using a custom system-on-chip. The Ouster Gemini perception platform and BlueCity traffic solution add recurring software revenue on top of the hardware. Ouster merged with rival Velodyne in 2023, consolidating the US lidar industry.
Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Ouster employs about 320 people and trades on the NASDAQ.
Ouster in the AI buildout
Ouster spans the Autonomous Vehicles and Robotics layers of the AI buildout. Its sensors give machines the 3D vision that perception AI runs on, across vehicles, industrial robots, mapping systems, and smart infrastructure. The Velodyne merger made it the consolidated US lidar player, a position that matters as autonomy programs and infrastructure projects favor domestic suppliers. Software platforms like Gemini push it up the stack, from selling sensors to selling perception outcomes.
OUST is tracked in Autonomous Vehicles and Robotics & Automation, rated Core on the AI Exposure leaderboard.
