Company context
ClearDrop develops miniature acoustic surface-wave modules that keep cameras and other optical windows clear without wipers or exposed mechanical parts. Originating from research with IEMN, the University of Lille and CNRS, the technology removes rain, condensation, sea spray, frost, snow, dust and mud through invisible glass vibration. The company targets defence sensors, autonomous systems, agriculture and other all-weather optics.
