Ignite your research with Spark – where advanced perception meets dynamic navigation.
Spark is crafted for researchers venturing into the realm of small-scale autonomous vehicle development. It excels in SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) tasks, fusing data from 3D LiDAR, depth cameras, and conventional vision systems to unlock high-fidelity mapping and obstacle avoidance. This configuration is a powerful platform for prototyping advanced path planning, sensor fusion, and perception algorithms. This solution includes the high-performance Hunter SE base, InDro Commander metal work, a Jetson ORIN NX, power distribution, a WiFi development module, pinhole drive cameras, a depth camera, a 3D LiDAR, a 5G connectivity module, and InDro Teleoperation capabilities.
