Tangram Vision’s AI-powered 3D sensor could transform computer vision in robotics
VentureBeat November 14, 2023
Tangram Vision, a startup building software and hardware for robotic perception, unveiled a new 3D depth sensor today called HiFi that packs powerful computer vision capabilities into an off-the-shelf product priced at $549.
The sensor aims to “make it dead simple to add AI-enhanced 3D data to robots,” Adam Rodnitzky, cofounder and COO of Tangram Vision, told VentureBeat.
HiFi combines high-resolution 3D sensing with AI processing power and computer vision algorithms built directly into the device.
This allows it to simplify challenging tasks like calibration, navigation and running neural networks that are critical for robotics applications but often require teams of specialized engineers to implement.
“Traditionally, robotics has relied quite a lot on sensors,” said Rodnitzky. “But there’s actually a...
