The Ouster, Inc. OS0 Rev8 is a next-generation short-range high-resolution imaging lidar engineered for autonomous systems, industrial automation, robotics, and advanced mobility applications. Designed with automotive-grade durability and functional safety in mind, the OS0 delivers ultra-wide 90° vertical field of view, native RGB-D color point cloud output, and highly accurate 3D perception in the most demanding environments.
 
Built for AMRs, AGVs, autonomous vehicles, drones, heavy machinery, and mapping solutions, the OS0 Rev8 combines long operational life, high-resolution scanning, and rugged environmental protection into a compact and lightweight sensor platform. Its advanced digital lidar architecture provides up to 10.4 million points per second with configurable resolutions and rotation rates for maximum deployment flexibility.
 
The Rev8 platform introduces enhanced cybersecurity compliance, on-sensor 3D Zone Monitoring, window blockage detection, synchronized IMU integration, and support for leading development ecosystems including ROS2, NVIDIA DriveWorks, NVIDIA Isaac Sim, MATLAB, and Ouster SDK.
With IP68/IP69K protection, resistance to 100 G shock and 10 Grms vibration, and operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, the OS0 Rev8 is purpose-built for mission-critical autonomous operations in rugged industrial and outdoor environments.
