Robots, the team argues, can mimic these abilities using a quantum magnetometer (which detects magnetic field direction).

Artificial intelligence, particularly in sensor fusion, is now rewriting autonomy’s playbook—and serving as a powerful ...

Robots could soon be able to autonomously complete search and rescue missions, inspections, complex maintenance operations ...

The US military’s X-37B space plane will test a quantum inertial sensor for navigation, moving beyond GPS reliance. The technology, based on ultracold atoms, offers precise positioning in deep space, ...

Many drivers still swear by a dedicated portable GPS navigation system, and for good reason. A portable GPS, or portable navigation device (PND), leaves your phone free for other uses. Portable GPS ...

With the rapid development of GPS (Global Positioning System) techniques, GPS gets wider application in many fields. GPS has features such as high precision, global coverage, convenience, high quality ...

In December 1968, the Apollo 8 mission carried three astronauts on a trip around the Moon— further than anyone had ever gone before. For a mission that far, navigation was the biggest unknown factor.

A system that improves the accuracy of the GPS satellite navigation system. A satellite's positioning accuracy is impeded by errors in its clock and signal delays caused by atmospheric conditions.

Jeff Barker is an experienced truck driver (and technician by training) who’s been training drivers for Crete Carrier Corp. for years. He's just about seen and heard it all. But a recent encounter ...

One of the best things about off-roading is getting away from it all — but “it all” also includes internet and cell services, which can make using maps and directions tough. Ford is debuting new ...
