Zero Point Motion Secures £2.58 Million Seed Funding to Advance Motion Tracking Chip Technology

  • Zero Point Motion, a Bristol-based chip designer for precise motion tracking, has raised £2.58 million in a seed round led by Foresight Williams

  • The funding will be used to develop its motion-sensing chip technology, targeting the drone and robotics markets

  • The company, founded by Dr

  • Ying Lia Li, utilizes optical sensing techniques for highly sensitive and accurate motion detection.

      • ProblemTechnology

      "Current motion tracking and navigation technologies, like GPS, are unreliable in environments without satellite signals, such as indoors or in dense urban areas. This limits the potential of drones, VR/AR devices, and other applications that require precise positioning."

      Solution

      "Zero Point Motion has developed a new type of motion-sensing chip based on cavity optomechanics. This technology is more sensitive than traditional inertial sensors, allowing for more accurate and reliable motion tracking even without GPS. This enables drones to fly safely indoors, VR/AR devices to provide more immersive experiences, and other applications to benefit from improved positioning and navigation."
