Aura Unveiled: Revolutionizing Industries with Cutting-Edge Sensor Tech - January 2025 Insight
Milestones and Innovations
As we are leaving the year 2024 behind, it marks an important milestone as the year when Aura left the “stealth mode” and became visible on the market. With the Automotive industry is in a disruptive mode with the introduction of software-defined vehicles, higher levels of autonomous behavior, and increasingly tough requirements on safety, it was our initial focus to break into this eco-system. It is obvious that the requirements for automotive sensor technologies will increase both with respect to performance and total cost of ownership. With more vehicles being equipped with more sensors, there is an emerging “headache” within this industry to manage radar interference and ambiguities. And since performance, interference resilience, and coordinated sensors are specific strengths of the Aura solution, we see a great match to address these “headaches”.
Now we stride into 2025, where the Aura team has kicked off the year with significant momentum and exciting developments and we look forward to sharing our thoughts, insights, and what we do to be a driving force of innovation and collaboration on a rapidly developing market of sensors and autonomous mobility, also outside the automotive industry.
QuadRay™ Come to Life
We’ve reached a pivotal milestone with the delivery of our first hardware platform, QuardRay™, from the manufacturer in Sweden to our Boston office. After basic testing and enhancements in Gothenburg, QuadRay™ is set for further testing and software integration in Boston. This marks a crucial step in our journey towards redefining sensor technology. QuadRay™ is designed to process four streams of radio signals, offering unprecedented precision and reliability.

Expanding our Team and Reach
Aura now has a presence in Europe, where Patric Erlandsson, responsible for Business Development and located in Sweden, actively engages with potential customers and partners to develop Aura's business and coordinate ongoing local development activities.
Engaging Early Access Partners
To refine QuadRay™ specifications and ensure it meets market needs, we’re collaborating closely with early-access customers and partners. Continuing our successful PoC with our Tier 1 customer, we’re now advancing to more detailed test scenarios and exploring the potential of positioning our hardware at the forefront of the digital sensor platforms. We are excited about selecting three key early customers/partners to join our Early Access Program and explore the possibilities of our new, innovative technology.
Securing Strategic Funding
We’re proud to announce a major boost to our R&D capabilities through a three-year funding award from the Korean government. This project, in collaboration with Kreemo (radio), KAIST, and MIT, aims to develop cutting-edge unified sensor, communications, and sensing capabilities, confirming Aura’s state-of-the-art capabilities to combine both sensing and communication using the same hardware and software.
Aura at CES 2025
January was exhilarating with our participation in the renowned CES 2025 in Las Vegas, USA. Aura met with numerous partners and potential customers, sharing our cutting-edge innovations and exploring the rapidly evolving landscape of autonomous mobility, machine learning, and physical AI. The event provided a platform for us to engage with industry leaders and showcase how Aura is contributing to the next wave of technological transformation in mobility and beyond. We showcased our technologies, by publicly launching the QuadRay™ Beta.
Pioneering Discussions at ‘Paving the Way to Autonomy’
Hosted by industry experts Aitana Hierro and Reza Khaj at Plug and Play Mobility, and Mark Wilcox at Koito, we shared insights into Aura’s advancement in spatial sensing for autonomous driving. The event was a melting pot of ideas with contributions from visionaries at Oxa, Waabi, Sensagrate, TIER IV, and Cepton, discussing the future of safe and autonomous mobility.
The Rise of Physical AI
Jensen Huang from NVIDIA highlighted the transformative potential of Physical AI in addressing real-world challenges through robotics and autonomy. His insights into how technologies converge to create responsive and intelligent systems resonated with our mission at Aura. Physical AI represents a monumental shift, not just in how machines operate but in how they interact with our world. Aura’s innovative sensory solutions are set to play a pivotal role in this transition, from enhancing autonomous vehicles' capabilities to revolutionizing robotic interactions.
Inspiration for Industry and Everyday Life applications
The ubiquity of robotics is becoming more pronounced, influencing sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, and more. Aura is at the forefront, enhancing environmental spatial awareness to make these innovations practical and applicable.
The recent advancements in Augmented Reality (AR) glasses, were a hands-on inspiration to how Aura’s digital sensing capabilities could integrate into nuanced bio and movement sensing. This technology paves the way for seamless information sharing with heightened privacy and opens new avenues in both consumer and enterprise applications.
