What do these all have in common?






Need to answer two fundamental questions

Where am I in the world?

What does my world look like?






Simultaneous Localisation And Mapping






a stream of data from one or more sensors

Inputs Outputs

This is what we do

Where am I in the world?

What does my world look like?






SLAM is the key enabler to these industries

Current SLAM solutions are not good enough






Self Driving cars are easily blinded






DARPA Grand Challenge robots

could not cope with unstructured

environments






Autonomous Drones lose tracking during aggressive manoeuvres






50% of VR users suffer motion sickness due to latency

We have the Technology

Traditional Sensors

Slamcore can produce solution with both traditional sensors and new architectures






A completely new architectureEvent camera’s provide a paradigm shift in camera design






Key benefits of Event Camera Technology
