Zero Point Motion attended IEEE Inertial in Hawaii

Between 28th and 31st March, IEEE Inertial took place in Kaua’i, Hawaii, USA. Zero Point Motion’s Founder and CEO Lia Li, and Lead MEMS Engineer Aaron Geisberger attended. Lia also gave an invited talk titled: “Photonic Integrated Circuits for Cavity Optomechanical Inertial Sensors: From the Classical to Quantum Regime”. Presenting the progress in developing chipscale optically enhanced inertial sensors and the route to commercially viable quantum sensing.  

IEEE Inertial is an exclusive international symposium to discuss the latest developments in the area of modern inertial sensors and emerging applications.  

Zero Point Motion’s optically enhanced inertial sensors can be used for position and tracking of drones in environments where GNSS signals are deteriorated or denied, such as in urban areas or underground.  

Talking about the event, “It was fascinating to see the number of developments in this field over the last few years and how far the technology has progressed,” said Aaron “in particular we see traditional capacitive based sensing publications focused on refinements and applications, whereas the more advanced developments are employing photonic systems.  Our approach fits nicely between employing MEMS structures that are known and leveraging recent advancements in photonic circuits."
