Our Visual Positioning Systems combine information from multiple cameras and inertial sensors to estimate the motion and position of a camera assembly, drone, or robot. Data from synchronized stereo cameras and inertial sensors provide information about the robot's acceleration and rotation, which provides an estimation of its orientation and motion.
How can VPS Help Extend the Reach of Position-Dependent Technology in Robotics?
By fusing the data from these two sources, VPS estimates the pose of a robot-mounted camera assembly, even in challenging environments. VILOTA's algorithms, based on these sources, estimate the position and orientation of our devices with minimal drift, allowing navigation and positioning or the output of a coordinate in otherwise GNSS-denied or distorted environments that aren't open skies.

Camera-based perception sometimes requires a large perception and embedded team. Our modularised sensor hardware and onboard software can better support robot manufacturers by speeding up their development process and lowering the barriers to adopting vision technologies.
Vision-Kit-Lite is a credit-card size perception and localization module, suitable for drones and small robots. It has a 360 degrees field of view, permitting navigation, tracking, and monitoring. For more information on VKL7 & VKL12, VILOTA's initial market offering, please download our spec sheet.
