Why it matters

Existing LiDAR technology lacks precision and quality

Automated technologies like self-driving cars need to see the world around them. LiDAR is the key to ensuring that automated technology can understand the world in a three-dimensional way. Still, existing LiDAR technology lacks precision and quality, reducing observability of the world and impeding on automation capabilities.

How it works

Baraja has pioneered an innovative solid-state LiDAR

Baraja’s patented platform, Spectrum-Scan™, takes a fundamentally different approach to LiDAR. Instead of relying on fragile moving parts and oscillating mirrors, they simply refract light through a prism to scan the environment. This unique method allows Baraja to deliver unprecedented range, precision and reliability in even the most extreme environments.

The WOW factor

The Wow Factor

Baraja has a number of technical advances that make it the superior LiDAR. Baraja’s core technology enables a single-chip design facilitating manufacturing at and integration at scale. The Spectrum-Scan™ platform facilitates high resolution, blur-free point-cloud scans. Finally, by removing the mechanical components most prone to failure, shock resistance and longevity is assured.
