‘Dumb drones’ get smart: World’s 1st navigation tech to let UAVs fly blind | These circuits are ten times more precise than the Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems Inertial Measurement Units typically used in commercial applications.
A Montreal-based firm has developed cost-effective inertial optical circuits that provide highly accurate navigation even without GPS signals.
Because they are entirely mechanical, the circuits are ten times more precise than the Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems Inertial Measurement Units (MEMS IMUs) commonly used in commercial applications. OSCP aims to fully integrate optical components into the PIC chip, reducing size, weight, and power consumption and eliminating assembly costs. “We believe that the technology that Kazem and OSCP have developed will be vital in facilitating and accelerating the rate at which autonomous systems, across transport and mobility, can realize their potential,” said Harry Morgan of 7percent Ventures.
