About

What is ValueBridge?
ValueBridge is a software studio founded by Tushar Dadlani. It builds perception and AI systems — software that turns messy real-world signal into structure you can trust, and keeps it trustworthy after it ships. It currently runs six live projects, including Teemyo, a voice-first relationship intelligence app, and CHROMA, a browser-based audio analysis instrument.
Who is Tushar Dadlani?
Tushar Dadlani is an engineer and founder based in Seattle. He co-founded Explorer.AI, an HD mapping company for autonomous vehicles that Standard Cognition acquired in January 2019, then served as Director of Engineering for Perception and Mapping at Standard Cognition. He later worked as Principal, AI and Robotics at Walmart on multi-modal sensor fusion for physical retail. He holds 8 granted US patents and co-authored a paper at ICRA 2022.
What are ValueBridge and Tushar Dadlani known for technically?
Camera placement and calibration at scale. Six of the eight patents cover sensor placement, coverage design, automated recalibration, and extrinsic calibration for autonomous checkout; the other two cover distributed processing of vehicle and map data. The ICRA 2022 paper, "Optimizing camera placements for overlapped coverage with 3D camera projections," formalises how to compute where cameras should go to achieve a target coverage.
