Zero Industries
Zero builds a Visual Positioning System (VPS) that lets drones navigate autonomously in GPS-denied and contested environments. The stack fuses computer vision with inertial data (visual-inertial navigation, VINS) to compute real-time position where GPS is jammed or spoofed. It is designed as a lightweight, plug-and-play module that runs directly on embedded compute onboard the drone, without external infrastructure. The product is robot-primary autonomy software intended to integrate across third-party drone platforms rather than general-purpose positioning.
