Strategic Objectives
• Master the physics of Time-of-Flight and laser-range-finding technology.
• Learn to process massive point clouds into clean structural models.
• Optimize spatial data structures for real-time 3D navigation.
• Bridge the gap between raw light detection and autonomous spatial intelligence.
The Core Challenge
Traditional imaging fails in the dark and lacks true spatial depth, leaving machines blind to the geometry of their environment.
