Kudan has been providing proprietary Artificial Perception technologies based on SLAM to enable use cases with significant market potential and impact on our lives such as autonomous driving, robotics, AR/VR and smart cities
History
Born global
Our Vision
Provide eyes for all future machines
Kudan has aspired to be an irreplaceable provider of eyes for all future machines and devices, disrupting both industrial landscapes and consumer lives. Our technology provides a critical component for these systems, enabling machines to perceive the world.
What we offer
Artificial Perception (AP) algorithm for multiple critical future technologies
Kudan has accelerated the evolution of multiple disruptive technologies such as AR/VR, autonomous driving, robotics, and smart cities, by developing computer software algorithms classified as Artificial Perception (AP).
Over the years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become the backbone technology as the brain for machines, however, it only consists of functionality for learning semantic information. Current machines are extending their capabilities from closed virtual worlds to the real-world, which requires instinctive spatial understanding.
We are working to fill in this missing piece by developing AP algorithms that are the machine equivalent of human eyes. With the combination of AP and AI, machines are getting closer to sensing and interacting with the world like humans do, utilizing both the eyes and the brain.
Localization and mapping software based on SLAM
We offer commercial-grade localization and mapping software based on a technology called SLAM (Simultaneous localization and mapping). This technology enables machines and devices to understand where they are, how they are moving and the structure of their environment. Perception of their surroundings is a critical ability for machines and ultimately autonomous decisions will depend on the quality of this information.
