The company develops autonomous vehicle systems, with a focus on helping unmanned machines perceive and navigate their surroundings.
Voyant PhotonicsVoyant Photonics develops chip-scale FMCW LiDAR sensors that give intelligent machines simultaneous depth and velocity data through silicon photonics and on-chip beam steering. Founded by Cornell-trained photonics researchers, the New York company combines coherent imaging chips with field-deployable sensors for applications ranging from automotive safety to robotics and infrastructure monitoring. Its Carbon platforms are available now, while the fully solid-state Helium device is designed for compact mobile systems.NEW YORK, NY
TILT AutonomyTILT Autonomy grew from the Rogue Squadron team that Ryan Beall and Mark Jacobsen founded at the Defense Innovation Unit in 2017, carrying that small-team, warfighter-focused approach into private industry. The company builds autonomous unmanned systems for defense customers, a mission it demonstrated by developing the MARV maritime rescue vehicle with the Air Force’s Blue Horizons program in less than three months.ANNAPOLIS, MD
Cloud and Field IncBuffalo-based Cloud and Field Inc. retrofits the heavy machinery farmers already own into autonomous vehicles using software, sensors, positioning systems, and artificial intelligence. Founded by data scientist Greg Everhart, the company is developing patent-pending tools aimed at helping family farms address labor shortages without replacing their existing equipment or requiring broadband. Its retrofit approach is being pilot-tested with Upstate New York farms.KENMORE, NY
