Our take
Machines with spatial intelligence are becoming more commonplace, no longer limited to factories and warehouses, but more often seen in environments such as hospitals, hotels and homes. As these machines operate in less constrained, more dynamic environments, spatial understanding is essential for reliable operation and intelligent behaviour. SLAMcore develops algorithms that help achieve this.
The company's team of world-leading spatial AI experts are doing this by developing SLAM (simultaneous localisation and mapping) algorithms. SLAMcore is making spatial AI solutions more accessible to businesses by unlocking huge market opportunities in robotics with robust SLAM algorithms that can survive in the real world. The company has a deep understanding of the interplay between software and hardware, and uses a system-level design to ensure it delivers the right balance between performance and affordability.
SLAMcore has a quickly expanding portfolio of supported applications. Through partnership with OEMs, the company aims to provide the core technology that will allow robots to become a meaningful part of everyday life. And with funding secured, the company is working on expanding its suite of offerings, as well as expanding its operations to new markets.
