WE MAKE SENSE
OUT OF SENSOR DATA

OUR ACTIVITY

We provide a suite of Intellectual Property, Algorithms and Engineering services to achieve mobile autonomy, advanced 3D perception and situation awareness.

Based in Paris, the company was created in 2015 by Raul Bravo and Olivier Garcia in order to extend to new application fields the result of 15 years of world-class know-how and field experience working on GPS-denied and infrastructure-less navigation.

The Dibotics’ technology is used as a core component of some of the most advanced products and companies in mobile robotics, operating in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Raul Bravo is a serial entrepreneur & start-up coach, with an extensive background in both bootstrapped & VC-backed start-up creation and growth.

Telecommunications Engineer from UPC (Barcelona, Spain) with an MBA from College des Ingénieurs (Paris, France), he’s obtained 12 different awards for his engineering and entrepreneur career, among them the «MIT Technology Review – Innovators Under 35».

Olivier Garcia is one of the most internationally renowned mobile robotics experts in the field of Localization and Navigation.

Industrial Engineer from UPC (Barcelona, Spain) with a Robotics Master’s Degree from Pierre et Marie Curie University (Paris, France), he has gained an extensive expertise and developed technology in different applications fields as 3D Mapping, Logistics, Defense & Security, Autonomous Car and Automated Passengers Vehicles.

We’ve developed and field-validated a unique 6 Degree of Freedom Sensor-Agnostic Localization technology, relying exclusively on the data originated from a single sensor: no odometry, IMU or multi-sensor fusion are needed.

Localization LOCALIZATION

Our unique advanced 3D SLAM (6 DoF) technology provides an accurate real-time position over long distances without drift. A single sensor and infrastructure-free algorithm that delivers cheaper and simpler solutions.

perception PERCEPTION

Our perception algorithms integrate the data from the sensor over time, in order to build a 3D rich model of the environment that can then be analyzed in search of information of interest for the task at hand.

Navigation NAVIGATION

Field-proven navigation and control solution, which has been validated in real-world Outdoor and Indoor environments and multiple application fields.

USE CASES

Over the last 15 years, we’ve applied our technology to a wide range of application fields in several industry segments all over the world, to achieve fully autonomous function, perception-enriched tele-operation or 3D modelization.
