ANELLO Photonics

Corporate marketsensingCurated record

anellophotonics.com

ANELLO builds SiPhOG (Silicon Photonics Optical Gyroscope), a chip-scale optical gyroscope, and integrates it into IMUs and inertial navigation systems (ANELLO X3, Ground/Aerial/Maritime INS) for autonomous navigation in GPS-denied environments. The products pair the optical gyro hardware with AI/sensor-fusion algorithms to keep robots and vehicles on course without GNSS. Target platforms are robots, drones/UAVs, autonomous ground and marine vehicles, and off-road machinery. It is a robot supply-chain sensing component, not a whole robot.
