“The Vision Tank competition was very powerful for us. One of our first commercial projects applying insect-brain-derived vision and navigation came from our founder speaking at the 2021 Summit, following our win at the Vision Tank Competition the year before… and several more conversations started due to the visibility the competition created for us. In the early days, nothing is more important than generating the momentum that gets the flywheel turning. It got us out, loud and proud, into the autonomy market. We became visible.”
David Rajan, Co-founder, CEO, Opteran
