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 ...

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

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

The country’s GPS systems might be more vulnerable than you think — and the stakes are high. A Global Positioning System failure could affect transportation, banking and emergency operations. But ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...
