- Two pucks create a single vector: precise relative distance and slope.
- Sensor fusion of UWB + IMU + barometer via Kalman filter.
- Establishes the foundation: lightweight, accurate, affordable baseline measurement.
- Same puck hardware, but upgraded with onboard memory + ML training.
- System learns to refine sensor fusion, improving accuracy and reducing drift.
- Multiple vectors can now be combined into a coherent mesh.
- Core value: transforms from a pair of smart sensors into a portable mapping system.
- Mesh concept scaled up to many cooperating pucks.
- Produces real-time, multi-node position + orientation data.
- Supports swarm robotics, infrastructure monitoring, collaborative AR/VR.
- Core value: a self-improving, distributed spatial network.
Applications & Industries
The Niavra product line will aim to help many industries:
Phase 1 – Niavra: Vector
Civil Engineering & Surveying
- Quick slope + distance checks on site
- Monitor unstable slopes, embankments, and retaining walls
- Portable replacement for bulky survey gear (levels, total stations)
- Affordable tool for field engineers and inspectors
Phase 2 – Niavra: Mesh
Construction & AR/VR
- Align with Building Information Modeling (BIM) for site accuracy
- On-site mapping of settlement, deflection, or misalignment
- Anchor AR objects to physical coordinates with precision
- Enable multi-user shared AR environments for design, training, or gaming
Phase 3 – Niavra: Swarm
Robotics & Smart Cities
- Coordinate multi-robot systems indoors or underground where GPS fails
- Provide high-accuracy ground truth for ML training in robotics
- Large-scale monitoring of bridges, tunnels, and infrastructure
- Swarm-based environmental sensing (shifts, vibrations, air pressure)
- Feed real-time data into digital twin models for smart city management
