VIDAR
THE SIGHT
VIDAR estimates precise 6-DoF object pose from a single RGB image using 3D Gaussian Splatting representations. No fiducial markers, no multi-view setup — just point a camera at an object and get its exact position and orientation in 3D space with millimeter precision. Precise object pose is essential for grasping, manipulation, and interaction — VIDAR enables robots to pick up any object from a single camera view, critical for logistics, industrial automation, and any task requiring precise physical interaction.

WHAT VIDAR DELIVERS
6-DoF object pose from single RGB via Gaussian Splatting.
CAPABILITIES
- Advanced 6DOF POSE ESTIMATION capabilities
- Integrated into ANIMA perception stack
- Bilingual documentation
- Production-ready architecture
WHY THIS IS HARD
Building VIDAR requires solving multiple coupled problems:
- 01Achieving real-time performance on edge hardware
- 02Maintaining accuracy across diverse conditions
- 03Seamless integration with existing ANIMA modules
- 04Robust operation in degraded environments
VIDAR solves these through careful architecture design and rigorous validation.
