Centimetre-level positioning in challenging environments

Traditional sensor systems used for mobile autonomy can face limitations and periods of failure during poor visibility caused by environmental factors such as light, weather and dust. Predominantly relying on vision, lidar, GPS and perception sensors, this downtime can have a negative impact not only on efficiency but also on safety. 

Unlike traditional sensors, radar is resilient to changes in the environment, continuing to operate reliably in all weather and light conditions including dust, dirt, fog, rain and even underground. Moreover, it offers exceptional performance at both short and long ranges, while continuously advancing in compactness and affordability.

Radar-only positioning can provide centimetre-level accuracy, and robust performance across challenging environments and conditions. Radar’s efficient and information-rich data enables simultaneous observation of multiple objects, along with precise detection of their locations and cross-section characteristics. This versatility renders radar particularly suitable for tasks such as odometry and localisation, where stable, long-range features are crucial. As a result, our radar solutions excel in providing navigation solutions that thrive in even the most adverse conditions.
