Ambarella to Acquire Oculii ; Radar Perception Al Algorithm Global Leader Oct 26 , 2021 Santa Clara , CA Oculii's Patented Adaptive Al Software Increases Resolution of Existing RF Radar Silicon Up To 100X Santa Clara , Calif . - Oct. 26 , 2021 - Ambarella , Inc. ( NASDAQ : AMBA ) , an Al vision silicon company , today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Ohio - based Oculii Corporation ( " Oculii ” ) . Oculii's adaptive Al software algorithms are designed to enable radar perception using current production radar chips to achieve significantly higher ( up to 100X ) resolution , longer range and greater accuracy . These improvements eliminate the need for specialized high - resolution radar chips , which have significantly higher power consumption and cost than conventional radar solutions . Oculii's software can be deployed on Ambarella's existing CVflow® SoCs , operating in conjunction with leading radar RF solutions to increase safety and reliability . x Ambarella® OCULii The acquisition expands Ambarella's addressable market into radar perception and fusion with its existing edge AI CV perception SoCs for automotive and other loT endpoint applications , including mobile robotics and security . The fusion of Ambarella's camera technology and Oculii's radar software stack provides an all - weather , low - cost and scalable perception solution , enabling higher levels of autonomy for automotive tier 1s and OEMs globally . " The Oculii team brings great synergies with Ambarella's algorithm - first approach and our ongoing initiatives to intelligently fuse sensor data in edge Al systems , " said Fermi Wang , president and CEO of Ambarella . " We expect Oculii's unique adaptive radar perception algorithms , combined with Ambarella's vision and Al processing , to unlock greater levels of perception accuracy than previously attainable with discrete camera and radar solutions . " " Joining Ambarella will enable Oculii to expand the development of our radar technology while leveraging our synergies as part of this leading vision and Al processor company , " said Steven Hong , CEO of Oculii . " We look forward to working with our customers and silicon partners to deliver complete Al perception solutions , based on the combined strengths of our innovative engineering teams and advanced radar and computer vision technologies .
