Our Technology Overview and Applications

The core of our technology is an inertial measurement unit, or an IMU, which consists of three access gyros and accelerometers. IMU is used in an AHRS, or an attitude heading reference system. Our software integrates or fuses the gyro and accelerometer data from the IMU to estimate roll, pitch, and heading, helpful for GPS. […]

What We Do, What We Don’t Do

Our specialty is building the brain that does autonomous navigation. At some point, we may build a robot in the future, but right now, our business is delivering this value to OEM manufacturers who make these robotic devices that want them to be autonomous. Watch the video below as Tom explains what we do and […]

Should I Get an Inertial Sensor Development Kit or a Module?

We get this question all the time, “Should I get an inertial sensor development kit or a module?” Oftentimes, our customers either need something with proper documentation and plenty of adapters to go to different communication protocols OR they have extra experience designing circuits and need something out of the box, at scale. Watch the […]
