Miniaturized GPS/MEMS IMU integrated board

Miniaturized GPS/MEMS IMU integrated navigation boards that fuse camera-and-range data for robust robot localization.

What it is

The system fuses GPS signals, MEMS inertial measurements, and navigation camera plus range information to compute a corrected navigation solution. Its integration reduces reliance on any single sensor by using inertial updates between camera/range observations, improving stability in degraded signal conditions. Previously, teams often needed licensing or costly custom integration to combine these sensor modalities into one compact board.

What you could build

Build reliable indoor-to-outdoor robot navigation modules for drones, AGVs, and warehouse mapping without GPS dropouts.
