Ouster's REV8 LiDAR with native color hits San Francisco TechTalk

First native color LiDAR sensor and a raffle for Ouster & StereoLabs gear...

Deep Dive

Ouster, the leading lidar sensor company, is inviting the Bay Area robotics and AI community to a TechTalk next Wednesday, May 27, 2026, in San Francisco. The event follows the recent launch of the Ouster REV8 LiDAR sensor, which introduces the industry's first native color lidar capability — integrating RGB data directly into point clouds without external cameras. This breakthrough simplifies sensor fusion for applications in Physical AI, robotics, perception, industrial automation, and autonomous driving.

The TechTalk will feature deep dives into the REV8's practical deployment using the ouster-ros2 driver, SLAM integration, and real-world case studies. Attendees will also have a chance to win Ouster and StereoLabs sensors in a raffle. With RSVP via Luma, this is a must-attend for professionals looking to leverage color lidar for higher-fidelity environment understanding.
