Distributed LiDAR is an optical sensor that measures the distance from the surrounding objects, through the entire field of view. The sensor incorporates optical fibers for the delivery and collection of light. In addition to distance, the sensor is also capable of sensing color and temperature. This patented invention can be embedded in the structure of the host vehicle. Therefore, it covers several shortcomings of the existing commercial LiDARs such as the bulkiness and the limitations of the field of view. The sensor can be used in Drones, Mobile robots, Driverless vehicles, Military vehicles, Mining vehicles, and industrial robots and equipment, as well as in medical and nonmedical thermal monitoring devices.

Mohamed M. Sabry Aly is an Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and the founder of EMASS. He received his Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in 2013. He was a postdoctoral research fellow at Stanford University from 2014 till 2017.
His current research interests include system-level design and optimization of computing systems enabled by emerging technologies, with particular emphasis on computing systems for artificial intelligence. His work on system-level analysis on data-centric emerging systems has led to a US$75M DARPA program (Electronic Resurgence Initiative). He is a currently the program manager of the Singapore flagship AME programmatic project (Hardware Software Co-optimization for Deep Learning). He is an active close collaborator with top industrial and academic partners such as, Stanford University, TSMC, and Samsung. Dr. Aly is a Senior IEEE member and he was the recipient of the Swiss National Science Foundation Early Post-Doctoral Mobility Fellowship in 2013.
