Problem
Robotic systems often rely on optical or lidar sensors that struggle in conditions like dust, fog, low light, or when objects are beyond their effective range, limiting reliable environmental perception and safe operation.
Solution
Valkyrie Dynamics creates miniature radar modules tailored for integration into robots and autonomous platforms. These compact radars emit radio waves that can penetrate obscurants and detect objects at greater distances than many conventional sensors. The units deliver high‑resolution range and velocity data, enabling real‑time mapping of the surrounding environment even in challenging visibility. By providing a lightweight, low‑power solution, the radar can be embedded directly into existing robotic hardware without significant redesign, extending operational capability across diverse settings.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers of autonomous drones, mobile robots, and industrial automation systems that require reliable perception in adverse environmental conditions.
Features
