Participants included Biomatics Capital, as well as new investors Reinet Fund, F.I.S., NFT Investment, KANGMEI Group, Bay City Capital GF Xinde Life Science Investment Fund, 3W Partners Capital and Ditch Plains Capital Management. The new funding comes just three months after the company initially raised $33 million in the round, which now has closed at $60 million.

o Pleasanton-Based AEye Raises $16 Million in First Round of Funding
Pleasanton, Calif. -- AEye, a Mountain View-based developer of robotic vision technology, said it has raised $16 million in its first round of funding. Participants included Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Airbus Ventures, Intel Capital and Tyche Partners, among others. The company said it will use the proceeds to commercialize its robotic vision system, currently in early testing with large transportation and heavy industry manufacturers. Phased commercial rollouts are planned throughout this year and next year. The system combines LiDAR and computer vision with artificial intelligence and customized software to provide more safety for operators and passengers of autonomous or driver-assisted vehicles. The technology is designed to scan a scene, focusing on its information content rather than data. "The biggest bottleneck to the rollout of robotic vision solutions has been the industry's inability to deliver a world-class perception layer," said CEO Luis Dussan. "Quick, accurate, intelligent interpretation of the environment that leverages and extends the human experience is the Holy Grail, and that's exactly what AEye intends to deliver."
