LAS VEGAS, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- Global leading radar company, Vayyar Imaging, expects to seek stronger cooperation with China in applying intelligent sensors to the fields including elderly care and automotive industry, Vayyar Imaging CEO and co-founder Raviv Melamed told Xinhua on Friday.

"China has huge potential and great demand in the technologies of the elderly care and the auto industry. We are considering setting up entity in China," said Melamed in an exclusive interview with Xinhua at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

As a global leader in highly advanced radar solutions, Vayyar provides intelligent sensors to a wide variety of industries including automotive vehicle, smart home, robotics, retail and medical care.

"Our intelligent sensors can see through walls and objects and track and map everything happening in an environment in real-time," Melamed told Xinhua.

The company unveiled its new 4D home sensor at the CES, which requires no wearables or buttons and works without the use of any camera. Its new features include detecting falls, identifying intruders and sending an alarm in case an anomaly is detected.

The new sensor, called Vayyar HOME, could immediately detect the fall of a person, and dispatch an alert and call to a caregiver or a monitoring center for immediate response, Melamed said.

"With the new sensor, we can turn any room into a smart room, caring for people, especially the elderly, without violating their privacy through cameras. It is like living with a doctor and a security guard rolled into one," he told Xinhua.

The sensor could also analyze physiological and behavioral patterns, such as sleep time, posture detection and breath monitoring, he said.

The radar company also launched the world's first full 60GHz high-performance, high-resolution, low-cost automotive-grade radar on a chip at this year's CES.

Vayyar has cooperated with Chinese partners such as insurance companies for the elderly, the appliance industry, home security companies and the autonomous vehicles industry, Melamed said.

He expected stronger cooperation with China in the future in the technologies of the elderly care, the automotive industry and medical treatment such as cancer detection.

The 2020 CES, the world's premier tech show, was wrapped up in Las Vegas on Friday. The four-day show drew more than 4,500 exhibitors from over 160 countries.

Nearly 20,000 new transformative technological products were on show, encompassing 5G connectivity, artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, smart cities and resilience, sports, robotics and more. Enditem
