LaserMotive’s first project earned $900,000 USD in the Nasa-sponsored Power Beaming
Challenge in the space elevator Games. The system transfers power wirelessly via laser light
to a remote, airborne, mobile photovoltaic receiver that can be located 1 km away or more.
Learn about a machine vision system based on NI tools and how it can automatically locate
the receiver and steer the laser beam.
