Published purpose
Based on Photonics Integrated Circuits (PIC) technology, OSCP is developing the next generation of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) for Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) navigation application. Unlike MEMS-based IMUs, OSCP’s IMU can reliably navigate a vehicle with Centimeter level of position accuracy even in the absence of GNSS for several minutes. OSCP’s IMUs are also both dramatically higher-performance and much less sensitive to environmental effects such as Thermal Drift, Vibration Induced Noise, and EMI. As compared to the high end IMUs such as Fiber-Optics Gyroscope (FOG)-based, OSCP’s IMU not only delivers the same performance but in a compact, low power, low-cost footprint, thanks to its on-chip integrated CMOS compatible technology. As a +30 years old technology, FOGs are specifically designed for Aerospace application and as a result they are not scalable and therefore super expensive for AVs applications. By integrating all optical components on the same chip, OSCP is delivering a scalable, revolutionary IMU with extraordinary performance at a low cost for AVs market.Addressing $45B total available market by 2032, and with an order of magnitude less power consumption than FOGs, OSCP's IMUs contributes to hundreds of kilotonnes of CO2 reduction over the next 10 years.
