Nodar

What it does

"Nodar is a pioneering mobility company specializing in the development of mass-producible 3D sensors for autonomous vehicles and mobile robots. With a focus on high performance and reliability, Nodar has revolutionized stereo vision technology by introducing the patent-pending Hammerhead™ technology. This innovation allows for cameras to be separated by large distances, enabling superior range resolutions at long ranges. The Hammerhead™ technology provides vehicle manufacturers with the flexibility to integrate cameras in unique locations, such as rearview mirrors or headlights. This advancement ensures early detection of obstacles, ranging from bricks to overturned trucks, up to hundreds of meters ahead with exceptional accuracy. Nodar's algorithmic innovations enable camera arrays to operate independently meters apart without the need for mechanical stiffeners or manual calibration. The wide baseline between cameras allows for long-range operation of up to 1,000 meters, while remaining robust against manufacturing tolerances and environmental factors like road shock, vibration, and temperature fluctuations."
