In a market divided between high-priced automotive LiDAR and low-cost, low-performance distance sensors, HYBO develops solid-state LiDAR under the philosophy of creating “LiDAR that the market actually needs.” Its goal is to popularize LiDAR by delivering both the performance and cost efficiency required in industrial environments.
HYBO’s flagship iTFS Series consists of iTFS-110/80, a high-performance industrial LiDAR; iTFS-MINI, a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree; and iTFS-LITE, a robotics-focused model scheduled for launch in 2026. The main target markets include industrial automation, smart infrastructure, service robots and Physical AI-based robotics.
Beyond supplying sensors, HYBO provides LiDAR-based AI human-detection and spatial-recognition solutions as a total LiDAR solution provider, using Pohang as its base for global market expansion.

iTFS-LITE
iTFS-LITE is an ultra-compact solid-state 3D LiDAR platform designed for robotics and Physical AI applications. With a body width of just 47.5 mm, it can be easily embedded into service robots, AMRs and other intelligent devices. A single USB cable provides both power and data connectivity, significantly simplifying system integration. Despite its compact size, iTFS-LITE delivers wide-FOV real-time 3D depth sensing and spatial perception, providing a practical and cost-efficient perception sensor for next-generation robotics.
