Powering Precise Location for Physical AI
Physical AI cannot act in the world if it does not know exactly where it stands, and centimeter level location is becoming the invisible utility that makes autonomy trustworthy. Point One Navigation is betting that reliability, not raw precision, is what finally lets robots, drones, and vehicles operate at scale.
