About this report
Tucked away in the tech hub of Tartu, Estonia, LightCode Photonics is quietly redefining how machines perceive the world. This deep-tech spin-off from the University of Tartu has developed a novel 3D LiDAR camera that promises to give robots something approaching depth perception – without the hefty price tag or bulk of traditional sensors.
Founded in 2020 by a team of physicists, the company has swiftly gained recognition for its “software-defined” approach to LiDAR, which uses intelligent algorithms to extract high-resolution 3D images from affordable hardware .
