Makalu Optics develops low cost, long range 4D LiDAR systems for autonomous vehicles (cars, drones, robots) and other applications. Resolution, Reliability and Cost Structure LiDARs are used by autonomous vehicles to build a 3D map of the environment around the vehicle, and allow it to navigate without the use of human intervention. LiDARs are considered by many car companies as crucial for achieving full autonomy. Despite work done by various companies, there is still no one LiDAR design that has the range, resolution, reliability and cost structure that meets the requirements of the industry, certainly not under adverse weather conditions and limited visibility. Our Solution Makalu develops a 4D LiDAR (x, y, z, velocity of target) based on experience with Lidar designs and implementations in the past 30 years. Makalu's LiDAR will meet the industry requirements and includes the following features: Flexible field of view, Eye safe laser of 1550nm, scan with NO moving parts (patent pending, proprietary design), Long range (detection of 6% reflecting target @ 300m), Highly robust and reliable design with field proven technology.

We are proud to be the first company to develop a robot that successfully replicates bumblebee buzz pollination. Our pollination robots are now deployed in the US, Australia, and Canada. Arugga is developing and manufacturing autonomous ground robots which will treat and monitor individual plants in the greenhouse. Watch our first pollination prototype in action. Our robotic platform will support several modules: robotic pollination, non-contact pruning, plant lowering, pest & disease detection and yield prediction.
