Quantum inertial sensing on a wet dock
GPS fails inside steel and wheels slip on wet concrete. Quantum inertial sensing tightens the state estimate our balance and navigation controllers depend on.
Where classical sensors give up
A conventional inertial unit drifts. On a dry warehouse floor with clean GPS that drift is corrected before it matters. Inside a steel structure, on a wet dock, or on a moving deck, there is nothing to correct against and the error compounds into a fall or a mis-set container.
What quantum sensing changes
Quantum inertial measurement gives us a far tighter position and orientation estimate without an external reference. The balance controller on a humanoid and the navigation stack on a 1,200kg container handler both consume that estimate directly, which is why our units stay upright and accurate in GPS-denied environments where conventional platforms need infrastructure installed first.
Beyond a single machine
The same quantum work applies at fleet scale. Once dozens of large machines share the same lanes, routing becomes a combinatorial problem that grows faster than classical planners handle well. Quantum-assisted planning keeps a busy yard flowing instead of deadlocking at the pinch points.
