Building Advanced LiDAR Sensorsfor Robotics, Smart Infrastructure, Safety, Automation, and Everyone.

HYBO builds LiDAR sensors that read the physical world and transform it into 3D data.

HYBO is a technology-driven venture founded by researchers from POSTECH’s Computing and Control Engineering Laboratory (CoCEL). Drawing on years of research experience, as well as ongoing collaboration and technical exchange with CoCEL, we develop proprietary ToF LiDAR and advanced sensing technologies.

We develop 3D sensing technologies that enable robots and intelligent systems to perceive, understand, and make decisions in the physical world. Beyond LiDAR sensor development, we are expanding the reach of our technology into applications such as people sensing, industrial safety, and smart infrastructure.

By enabling machines to understand the physical world through data, we are building a safer and more intelligent future.

MISSION

STRENGTH

From Core Sensor Technology
to Field-Ready Solutions.

HYBO brings sensing technology, product engineering, system integration, and AI analytics together in one seamless path from concept to deployment.

ToF SensingTechnology

We develop depth-sensing technologies for diverse environments and applications based on a deep understanding of indirect and direct ToF.

IlluminationEngineering

We precisely design optical systems and VCSEL drivers to optimize illumination coverage, light distribution, and power efficiency.

Depth EstimationAlgorithm

We analyze and compensate for noise and ambient-light effects to deliver stable, reliable depth data in real time.

Sensor ProductEngineering

We integrate optics, electronics, mechanics, thermal design, and interfaces into sensor products engineered for manufacturing and real-world deployment.

LiDAR SystemIntegration

We integrate LiDAR sensors into industrial safety, people detection, and smart infrastructure systems, connecting sensing with decisions, alerts, and control.

AI PerceptionSolutions

We combine 3D depth data with AI to implement perception solutions for people detection, event recognition, movement, and pattern analysis.

HISTORY

Rooted in Research,
Proven through Products.

We have turned years of research into real products and field-proven applications, bringing our technology to life beyond the laboratory.
