Zero Point Motion

Zero Point Motion develops silicon photonics-based inertial sensors that enhance acceleration and rotation sensing for positioning and navigation applications. The company uses silicon photonics to integrate the ultra-low noise properties of light with existing sensor technologies, creating inertial measurement units (IMUs) that offer unparalleled resilience and precision for an evolving autonomous world. Zero Point Motion's product lineup includes Eclipse, with alpha samples available in 2026, and Horizon, currently in development. These sensors are designed for applications across drones, robotics, wheeled platforms, and wearables, providing ultrafine positioning and navigation capabilities. By leveraging photonic integrated chips, the company aims to redefine the limits of positioning and navigation, enabling elegant motion tracking that surpasses traditional MEMS-based sensors. The technology combines material science, RF innovation, and precision manufacturing to deliver sensors with enhanced sensitivity and reduced noise. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Bristol, United Kingdom, Zero Point Motion has raised $8.6M in seed funding from investors including Williams Advanced Engineering, Foresight Group, EIC Fund, SCVC, Verve Ventures, and U-blox.
