Spatial Robot
A miniature 8 m SPAD LiDAR array built for machines that move. 40 × 30 direct-ToF zones, sunlight-tolerant ranging, and gram-level weight — depth perception for AMRs, drones, and anything with wheels or wings.
$99 / unit
- Direct ToF (SPAD) with anti-sunlight algorithm — rated at 30 klux ambient
- 8 m range at 10 fps across 40 × 30 zones, ±2 cm close-range accuracy
- On-module processing: point cloud, depth, and confidence over USB-C (UVC/UDP)
- 7 g with casing — drone-ready weight and ~1 W power budget
- Point-cloud API in the SpatialAI SDK; ROS 2 driver on roadmap
Ships worldwide · 2-year warranty · Free community SDK tier included
