  SOS LAB develops solid-state LiDAR sensors (including its ML-1 LiDAR-on-chip) focused on automotive applications and broader markets such as security, robotics, industry and smart cities. The company emphasizes beam‑steering, no-moving-parts design to enable high power, long-range detection in a small, mass-producible form factor. SOS LAB reported experience on projects with SEMES, SK Telecom and KT and supplies security LiDAR to the Busan Port Authority. It has an MOU with ON Semiconductor and showcased ML-1 at CES 2020, and earned a CES Asia 2019 Innovation Award in Vehicle Technology. The firm highlights durability, low cost and certification/production partnerships as central to its 2021 commercialization plans. SOS LAB develops optical sensors and actuators, focusing on LiDAR measurement sensors for self-driving cars (SL-1), industrial automation and drones (GL-3), and security (TL-3). The company is based in Gwangju, South Korea. It completed a Series A round securing over $6M to support R&D and commercial expansion. CEO Jiseong Jeong said the funding will enable intensified R&D efforts and a push to attract sales targets and global investors over the next year. SOS LAB has been active in international forums (including AutoSens in Belgium) to showcase its differentiation versus major players. The company has also won first place at the KIC China & Beijing University Incubator Program and was a finalist at Korea’s 2018 IP Startup Demo-Day, and is pursuing partners and investors across the US, China, Japan, Hong Kong, and Finland.
