Software-enabled vehicle autonomy for critical industries

The physical economy depends on humans operating in unsafe, GPS-denied environments. Tera delivers the first unified camera-based spatial intelligence to operate vehicles across OEMs.

The human way to navigate

[ 01 ]

Signal denied. Everything runs onboard.

We build internal representations the robot can carry with it — globally useful for navigating anywhere, not one-off scans that get thrown away after each mission.

[ 02 ]

No HD maps. Superhuman map reading

Like a human matching a paper map to the street in front of them, our system reads any map from a camera of any view. No LiDAR, no custom collected maps.

[ 03 ]

Camera and existing sensors are all you need.

We support a wide range of cameras thanks to working closely with all leading OEMs. Runs on your existing cameras and on-device compute. No added hardware.

Your GPS-Denied Nav ‘Demo’ Is Likely Still Using GPS

How GPS leaks into vision-based positioning evaluations, why the resulting numbers look great, and why they fall apart together with GPS.

Navigating in the dark: GPS-denied visual navigation on LWIR

Tera presents new results on GPS-denied visual navigation running on long-wave infrared (LWIR) imagery. Thermal is a fundamentally different way of seeing the world, and conventionally it demands a fundamentally different navigation stack. It should not, and with our approach it does not.

Delivering autonomy in days instead of months via software

Tera has streamlined the integration process for our autonomous navigation software, reducing the time required to stand up a new platform from a traditional 3–6 months to under 40 engineer-hours just days. This acceleration is achieved by treating integration as a repeatable software process—using containerized delivery, platform-based calibration, and automated bench validation—rather than bespoke engineering.

Our team has contributed to major advances in AI, including Google's geospatial foundation models and the diffusion model, which powers all image and video generation today.
