Ouster Moves To Scale Autonomous Perception

Ouster on Tuesday announced a collaboration with FieldAI to enhance how robots perceive and navigate complex environments using Ouster’s Rev8 native color lidar (light detection and ranging).

“FieldAI is at the forefront of deploying general-purpose robots in unstructured settings where work is often dangerous and difficult for humans,” said Cyrille Jacquemet, chief revenue officer at Ouster.

“Their new class of foundation models offers the reliability and adaptability required for autonomous robotics deployment at scale. We are thrilled to collaborate on leveraging our new Rev8 digital lidar to power the next generation of industrial autonomy.”

FieldAI already uses Ouster’s lidar technology to help its robots navigate complex, GPS-denied environments. As the company scales across construction, mining, energy, manufacturing, security and government, it is turning to Ouster’s next-generation Rev8 sensor to meet the safety, and reliability demands of those industries.

OUST Shares See Continued Momentum

Ouster is trading well above every major moving average, with the 20-day SMA at $33.87 and the 50-day SMA at $27.13, underscoring how steep the intermediate trend has become. The golden cross in May (50-day SMA above the 200-day SMA) adds to the longer-term bullish structure, and the stock's 12-month gain of 281.63% shows how persistent the trend has been.

Momentum is now the key question: RSI is 71.30, which puts the stock in overbought territory and signals the move is getting stretched in the near term. RSI measures how extended buying or selling pressure is, and readings above 70 often mean upside can continue—but pullbacks and sharp intraday swings become more likely.

From a levels perspective, the prior 52-week high at $47.32 is the most immediate reference point, since the stock is now trading above it and traders often watch that area for "breakout hold" behavior. A deeper pullback would put more focus on the rising 20-day SMA near $33.87 as a trend support zone that has room to be tested without breaking the broader uptrend.

• Key Resistance: $50.00 — a round-number level that often acts as a near-term profit-taking and breakout test zone
• Key Support: $47.32 — the prior 52-week high that can flip from resistance into support after a breakout

Below is the Benzinga Edge scorecard for Ouster’s momentum level, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses compared to the broader market:

• Momentum: Bullish (Score: 97.69) — The stock is showing strong relative strength, consistent with its breakout to new highs and steep uptrend.
