Pre-Processing and Sensor Strategy: The Work That Happens Before Fusion

April 2, 2026

Positioning Engine Deep Dive — Part 2TLDR: Time synchronization gets your measurements aligned. But that doesn’t mean they’re good measurements. GNSS signals bounce off buildings. IMUs pick up engine vibration.…

A view of the Panthéon in Paris at dusk, framed by Parisian buildings and cars on the street. Overlaid are the logos for point.one and Sorbonne Université, highlighting the city's blend of heritage, innovation, and robotics.

Robot Localization with Sorbonne University

March 25, 2026

At a glance: Sorbonne’s ASIMOV lab builds robots for unpredictable real-world environments, like GNSS-denied drainage tunnels and soft snake-like manipulators, where precise spatial awareness is the core challenge that makes…

Three simple clock icons are displayed in a row on a pale purple dotted background, illustrating Time Synchronization. The center clock is in a black solid circle, while the others are in dashed circles. All clocks show different times.

Time Synchronization in GNSS/INS: The #1 Thing Engineers Get Wrong

March 23, 2026

Part 1 of our Positioning Engine Deep Dive Series
TLDR: Synchronizing sensor data so all measurements can be used together is harder than it looks. Different sensors have different clocks, measurements…

A car avoids a fallen tree blocking the road, guided by signals from three satellites shown with green lines and circles, illustrating absolute navigation or autonomous driving technology.

Absolute vs Relative Positioning: Why You Need Both for GNSS Accuracy [2026]

March 18, 2026

When it comes to robotics & AV solutions, many developers have a strong opinion on using absolute vs relative navigation. We’re here to say you actually need both.

A map of RTK base stations showing Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Nebraska, overlaid with numerous blue circles indicating density of base stations within 40 km evenly distributed across the regions.

Demystifying Network RTK: What Drives Correction Accuracy and Why Density Matters

March 10, 2026

TL;DR: Both single-baseline and Network RTK achieve the same centimeter-level accuracy when supported by a dense network. Atmospheric errors are governed by physics, and no model can recover information more…

A white drone-rtk with four propellers flies above dark water, creating blurred circular patterns with its spinning blades. The drone is viewed from above.
