Advanced Navigation alternatives

Advanced Navigation, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Sydney, Australia, develops inertial navigation systems that keep working where GPS signals are unreliable, denied or unavailable, alongside photonic sensing and a micro autonomous underwater vehicle, serving defence, mining, marine, aerospace, automotive and agriculture customers globally. Buyers comparing robot sensing, LiDAR and machine vision usually start from the signal they need — position, range, velocity or a visual judgement — because each sensing method answers a different question. Aeva, headquartered in Mountain View, California and founded in 2017, builds 4D LiDAR on frequency-modulated continuous-wave technology that measures both range and instantaneous velocity for every point, and records 239 employees. Ailytics, headquartered in Singapore and founded in 2021, turns the CCTV cameras a site already has into real-time safety monitoring for construction and heavy industries, with deployments reported across 15 countries. Assembler AI, based in Montreal, Canada, uses computer vision to watch manual assembly stations and flag quality and cycle-time deviations as they happen; its founding year is not publicly disclosed. CMES, headquartered in Daejeon, South Korea and founded in 2014, combines proprietary 3D vision sensors, AI recognition and robot control software for depalletising, palletising and piece-picking cells. Choose Advanced Navigation for GPS-denied positioning, Aeva for velocity-aware LiDAR, Ailytics for site safety video analytics, Assembler AI for assembly-station monitoring, and CMES for vision-guided robot cells.

Alternatives to Advanced Navigation

Aeva

Aeva is a Mountain View, California developer of 4D lidar built on frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) technology, which measures both range and instantaneous velocity for every point — a combination conventional time-of-flight lidar cannot provide.

Ailytics

AI video analytics for construction and heavy industries — turning the CCTV cameras a site already has into real-time safety monitoring.

Assembler AI

Computer vision that watches manual assembly stations and flags quality and cycle-time deviations as they happen.

CMES

CMES is a South Korean intelligent-robot-automation company that gives standard industrial robots 3D eyes: it combines proprietary 3D vision sensors, AI recognition and robot control software so robots can handle unstructured work — recognising randomly stacked boxes and bags, planning grasp points and motion, and calibrating themselves to the robot automatically.
