Technical Overview

Technology

CereVellum.

"The palm-sized non-GPS engine."

A UWB-based sensor that transforms any commercial robot or drone into a fully autonomous agent — instantly. No GPS. No mapping. No deep learning.

Plug & Play
No integration team, no custom firmware. Attach it, and any robot becomes autonomous.
Offline Security
Zero connectivity means zero exposure. Nothing to intercept, nothing to hack.
Swarm Ready
One positioning layer, unlimited coordination. 4+ robots move as one.
Ultra Low Power
Two full days of operation, unattended, in the harshest GPS-denied environments.

Heimdallr.

"The eyes that never blink."

If CereVellum is the brain, Heimdallr is the vision — an AI surveillance platform that spots hazards before humans ever step into the zone.

Faster Response
Missions move from detection to action 40% faster, closing the critical gap when every second counts.
Total Coverage
99.8% blind spot coverage across every monitored zone. Nothing slips through, nowhere stays hidden.
Precision Positioning
10cm localization accuracy, holding steady even deep inside GPS-denied, signal-blocked environments.

"Transforming GPS-denied chaos into spatial certainty."
