FUSE is November 19 in San Francisco - in 15 days! 🧭

People get confused when we say FUSE is not a product conference. What company holds a conference and doesn’t make the audience sit through at least one thinly veiled product pitch?

Point One has a complete product stack for precise location. But that’s not what FUSE is about.

Our team builds robots, and we have a front-row seat as customers take complex machines from prototype to fleets working in the real world.

Location is almost always a big part of that story, and it’s never solved by one technology. GNSS, inertial, cameras, LiDAR, maps, all of it working together.

Fusing them is what’s hard, and it’s why we named the conference FUSE.There hasn’t been a place where the people doing this work could get in a room and say “here’s how we actually made it work.” Until now.

The lineup: @SchimpfBrian (Anduril), @jackmorrison (Agency Tool Company), Eyal Cohen (@humblerobotics), @adrianmacneil (Foxglove), Ali Agha (@fieldai_), Amy Rose (@OvertureMaps), @KanuGulati (Khosla Ventures), @moran_amit (Civ Robotics), @LearnOpenCV, @SteveMacenski (Open Navigation), @adamgrosser (UP.Partners), Angus Pacala (@ousterlidar), @kscottz (Intrinsic), Jim Ostrowski (@BlueRiverTech) and Adam Rodnitzky (Bay Area Robotics Network)

Thank you to @svrobo, @sparkfun, @ST_World and SyncWise for partnering with us on this!

If you’re building localization for machines that have to work in the real world, you’re exactly who we had in mind.

Point One is partnering with Baltic Towers.

We are bringing our industry-leading, centimeter-level RTK corrections network across Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. By deploying Point One’s GNSS reference stations on Baltic Towers' extensive portfolio of approximately 2,700 towers and rooftops, we are enabling drone, survey, agriculture, robotics, and autonomous vehicle teams across all three Baltic states to access 1–2 cm positioning without needing reference stations of their own.

Plus, Baltic Towers is joining as our first customer, using Point One RTK to survey its own towers by drone and build digital twins with incredible precision.

We are 23 days out from FUSE San Francisco and we are pumped!

FUSE (fuse.pointonenav.com/sf) is the first location technology conference for engineers who are deploying fleets in production. Our speakers are engineers or technical leaders that can share lessons in deploying robotics and autonomy at scale, in real-world conditions.

Earlier this month we ran FUSE in Toulouse, France. It was a great day of talks for a room full of people who build localization systems for a living. We learned about jam-resistant GNSS, train localization at a national rail system scale, interceptor drones, where you get location under jamming, at closing speed, with no second attempt, and LiDAR for when GNSS is simply gone.

These are all very different problems, but IMO they have one thing in common: they are all about solving localization at the edge of your machine's capabilities.

In these cases, what matters is the error distribution, and how often at the tail end that solution has excursions big enough to turn into a bad day.

Exception cases become common events when you scale from the lab to thousands of robots in the field. You can be right 99.99% of the time, but at a hundred thousand units in the field that remaining sliver happens more often than you'd like to think. Inclement weather becomes normal. Trees become normal. Multi-path becomes normal.

That's what the FUSE conference is about. The through-line for the conference is localization under the specific conditions that break it: dirt, tree canopy, featureless terrain, wind and vibration, urban canyons, unrehearsed environments.

We are not going to solve this with just one technology. It happens by all of it working together, which is why we called the conference FUSE in the first place.

We have an amazing lineup: @SchimpfBrian (Anduril Industries), @jackmorrison (Agency Tool Company), Eyal Cohen (@humblerobotics), @adrianmacneil (Foxglove), Ali Agha (@fieldai_), Amy Rose (@OvertureMaps), @KanuGulati (Khosla Ventures), @moran_amit (Civ Robotics), @LearnOpenCV, @SteveMacenski (Open Navigation LLC), @adamgrosser (UP.Partners), Angus Pacala (@ousterlidar), @kscottz (Intrinsic), Jim Ostrowski (@BlueRiverTech) and Adam Rodnitzky (Bay Area Robotics Network)

An autonomous mower doesn’t get a second chance when positioning fails.

If it drifts 10 cm, you get a crooked stripe. If it drifts 50 cm, it’s in the flowerbed.

That’s why the largest autonomous turf-management companies run Point One.

Come to Equip Expo in Louisville to see centimeter-level positioning built for real job sites.
