Our take
Radar technology presents a promising solution for autonomous vehicles and robots to see the obstacles around them. Yet, existing sensors are too low-resolution and struggle under challenging conditions. Solutions are beginning to arise for self-driving cars, but tackling challenges for fully autonomous robotics is significantly more difficult.
Zendar develops software-driven radar technology that augments the capability of radar sensors, leveraging AI to boost signal analysis to a higher resolution. Whilst its initial focus provides solutions for its automobile partnership with Hyundai, it is also developing hardware and software setups for automated agricultural machinery, robotics and trucking.
One of Zendar's biggest challenges will be the competition it faces from similar high-resolution startups. Despite this, the company stands out due to its semi-supervised machine-learning approach to radar, a technique that has worked excellently for aerial surveillance and has yet to be implemented into street-level hardware.
