What we do
Superior perception for next-generation autonomy
Visionary Machines is empowering machines to better see and understand the world around them, with superior perception for next generation autonomy.
Our Pandion™ sensor captures real-time, spatially accurate, high fidelity representations of the world, that are reliable in all weather and lighting conditions and can be viewed, measured and interpreted in real-time.
Our mission
Empowering machines to see better than humans
Visionary Machines is making the world a safer place, by unlocking next level transport and robotic automation. Our high fidelity Pandion™ 3D spatial sensor creates superior perception for autonomy — empowering machines to see better than humans.


Who we are
Founders and management team
Visionary Machines was founded in 2019 by computer vision and machine learning experts Dr Rhys Newman and Dr Samson Lee, and experienced high performance computer entrepreneur Gary Aitchison.
Our global team includes world-leaders in their field, including PhD vision engineers, scientists and designers.

Our patented Pandion™ technology
Quality in, quality out
Our Pandion™ sensor technology combines our 3D video camera (with RGB, NIR, SWIR, and LWIR spectrums) with our advanced algorithms to produce real-time georeferenced 3D representations of the world, even in GPS denied environments. A higher fidelity alternative to legacy active sensors like RADAR and LIDAR.
PandionTM builds a virtual world that is accurate and measurable, capturing time, speed, velocity and location.
Designed for the next generation of autonomous systems:
• Autonomous vehicles
• Passive optical radar
• Real-time 3D map generation
