Duality AI
Duality AI is a San Mateo-based simulation software company behind Falcon, a digital twin platform built on Unreal Engine. Falcon lets engineers create photorealistic, physics-accurate virtual replicas of robots, sensors, and environments, then generate the labeled synthetic data used to train and validate AI vision and autonomy models - closing the gap between simulation and the real world. Founded in 2018 by Pixar graphics veteran Apurva Shah and robotics pioneer Mike Taylor, Duality serves customers including DARPA, the U.S. Army, Honeywell, and P&G.
Summer Robotics
Summer Robotics is a Campbell, California machine-vision company giving robots what it calls superhuman perception. Its patented Kortx platform fuses event-based sensors with continuous laser scanning - a category the company calls laser-event sensing - to deliver blur-free 3D tracking with sub-5ms latency, 100-micron precision and 100Hz tracking. The technology lets robots see and react in dynamic, unstructured, variably lit environments, including on metal, glossy and transparent surfaces that defeat conventional cameras, unlocking automation in manufacturing, logistics and humanoid applications.
STRADVISION
STRADVISION is a Korean automotive AI company building SVNet, a deep-learning vision perception software that lets cars see and understand the road in real time. Its lightweight networks run on low-power automotive chips and ship in production vehicles from more than a dozen global automakers.
Seyond
Seyond (formerly Innovusion) is a Sunnyvale-based maker of image-grade LiDAR sensors and perception software for autonomous vehicles, ADAS, smart infrastructure, robotics and industrial applications. Best known as the long-range LiDAR supplier behind NIO's ET7, ET5 and ES7, the company has shipped more than 250,000 Falcon units and is pushing solid-state designs into mass production.
