Naver D2SF said on the 14th that it made a new investment in the machine vision startup "Summer Robotics."
Summer Robotics is headquartered in California, United States, and the Series A round that Naver D2SF joined was led by Applied Ventures.
Summer Robotics is a corporations that has implemented vision sensors, which serve as a robot's eyes, in a new way. Unlike conventional camera-centric robot sensors, Summer Robotics uses laser event sensors that detect light responses in microseconds. Compared with traditional robot vision sensors, it achieves four times faster speed, ultra-precise measurement at the 0.1 mm level, and excellent power and data efficiency.
According to Naver, "Kortx," developed by Summer Robotics, is a solution that can control robots even in dynamic, unstructured environments. It automates tasks such as dynamic assembly, quality inspection, and parts handling in fields including manufacturing, logistics, automotive, and semiconductors.
The co-founders of Summer Robotics have accumulated more than 20 years of experience in technology research and product leadership in artificial intelligence (AI), machine vision, and robotics.
