Harmony in diversity: The sensor fusion symphony of camera, lidar, and GPS tech.
Sensor fusion is the technology symphony orchestrating better spatial awareness and greater navigational accuracy for UAVs. The components of this technology symphony are various sensor modalities: cameras, LiDAR, and GPS, each with unique strengths and inherent weaknesses.
Unveiling Horizons: setting the stage for a pioneering 2024
As we bid farewell to an extraordinary year, I am thrilled to reflect on the remarkable journey of LightWare LiDAR in 2023.
Engineering ultralight microLiDARs®
Smarter, faster, and safer. In the 4IR world remote sensors are the foundation of AoT and IoT applications, with LiDAR becoming what the semiconductor was to 3IR.
ISO 9001 certification and enhanced 24-month warranty
At LightWare we manufacture and ship thousands of microLiDAR® sensors per year, each one built to an exacting specification. Our elite customer base demands the best the world has to offer, inspiring LightWare to implement ISO9001:2015 as the fundamental cornerstone upon which the company was built.
True Autonomy: Introducing autonomy in concrete floor polishing
“We evaluated a variety of sensors. We did a study on sonar sensors and why they don’t work very well. We did it for LiDAR and we also did it for depth cameras. But you guys came up on top just as meeting all the requirements that we had”. – Michael Lawrence, CEO, True Autonomy
Flying for WildLife: LIDAR pushing the limits of altimetry and event logging
Flying for WildLife Trust is a non-commercial trust that was born out of a concern for the plight of Zimbabwe’s wildlife, with particular emphasis on elephant and rhino populations. The main objective of the trust is to provide Zimbabwe National Parks Wildlife Management Authority and other stakeholders with regular aerial surveillance and monitoring over wildlife areas and national parks at no cost.
