HYFIX (HYFIX Spatial Intelligence) is a Santa Clara semiconductor startup building an American-made autonomous systems chip that fuses high-precision GNSS positioning, inertial sensing, flight control, encrypted communications and onboard AI into a single system-on-chip. Emerging from the GEODNET decentralized positioning network, HYFIX aims to give U.S. drone and robotics makers a domestic alternative to Chinese-dominated supply chains, with centimeter-accurate location that resists jamming and spoofing.
ACEINNA is a Massachusetts-based MEMS sensor company building high-performance, low-cost inertial measurement units (IMUs), GNSS/RTK precision-navigation systems, current sensors, and flow sensors. Spun out of MEMSIC in 2017 with a roughly $50M investment, ACEINNA is best known for its open-source OpenIMU platform and for shipping centimeter-accurate positioning solutions for autonomous vehicles and ADAS at a fraction of the price of legacy systems.
