About SandboxAQ
SandboxAQ develops software and sensing systems that combine artificial intelligence with physics-based and quantum techniques. Its broader Large Quantitative Model business addresses life sciences, materials, cybersecurity and navigation; the robotics-relevant layer is AQNav, an alternative positioning, navigation and timing system.
AQNav compares measurements of Earth’s magnetic field with mapped signatures to estimate position without relying on satellite signals. It can run as an integrated hardware-and-software stack or as software on existing onboard compute, and can complement inertial, visual and satellite navigation. The system has been flight-tested with military and commercial aerospace partners, including on transport aircraft and unmanned platforms.
