About

About Kudan

Kudan develops core SLAM and sensor-fusion algorithms for machines that must localise and map without dependable GNSS. Its software can combine camera, LiDAR and inertial data, then extend from pose estimation into path planning and autonomous navigation. Kudan packages these functions as configurable commercial software, development hardware and complete mobile-robot solutions rather than limiting the technology to an embedded algorithm licence.

The same spatial stack also supports digital-twin workflows. Mobile and vehicle-mounted scanners generate large 3D datasets, while Kudan PRISM manages spatial and asset information for inspection, maintenance and facility operations. Semantic processing and analytics connect those models to autonomous robots, simulation and predictive-maintenance tasks. Customers can use Kudan both to move a robot through a difficult environment and to build the persistent 3D representation used to manage that environment. The company is publicly listed in Japan and supplies technology globally.
