Building an Essential Sensor for Next Generation Physical AI
Physical AI, such as robots, rely on high precision sensors and sensor fusion, such as cameras, microphones, inertial sensors, and more recently, 3D imaging sensors such as LiDARs. High resolution imaging radars deliver non-line-of-sight visibility to next generation of autonomous robots, industrial machines, and remote monitoring systems, enabling them to see clearly in the dark, through dust, fog, and smoke.
Zadar Labs Software Defined Imaging Radars combine unprecedented range and resolution performance with rich meta-data in every point cloud, enabling next generation of physical AI to process the information with extreme low latency for realtime action. Field reconfigurability is performed by changing hundreds of parameters in a matter of milliseconds.
Finally, Zadar Labs has taken a CapEx lite approach to system development, focusing on optimum waveform design and signal processing. By building a single platform based on multiple silicon suppliers, the business is able scale efficiently across multiple verticals and applications.
