The unconstrained reality of the world around us demands adaptable, reliable, autonomous systems that are able to detect unpredictable events and make intelligent decisions.

Draper tackles the full scope of this design challenge, from sensor technology through autonomy architectures to autonomous systems robust enough for the road. Draper uses a system-level design approach, whether designing complete systems or components, to support advanced technology solutions for Tier 1 automotive suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to further enable self-driving vehicles.

As an experienced system integrator, Draper can design technology solutions to operate within customer parameters and augment a variety of systems. Our software solutions range from algorithms for sensor fusion to artificial intelligence for autonomous decision-making—helping Draper-designed systems perform in real time. Draper autonomy architectures are capable of hazard detection and avoidance, path planning and more. As a pioneer in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), Draper designs high-performance MEMS gyros for automotive precision localization.

To take solutions from potential to actual, Draper has state-of-the-art in-house resources, including facilities for model-based engineering, prototyping, testing and more.
