Summary

February 27, 2018 – Humatics Corporation, the company developing microlocation products, today announced the acquisition of 5D Robotics and its subsidiary, Time Domain. Humatics is developing radio-frequency (RF) sensors that measure the positions of objects in three-dimensional space with millimeter-scale precision at up to 30-meter ranges. 5D Robotics and Time Domain make RF systems that locate objects with centimeter-scale precision at up to 500-meter ranges. Together, the combined company intends to offer products that measure position with precisions that will benefit industrial automation, next-generation construction, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities.

5D Robotics and Time Domain are providing centimeter-scale sensors to the industrial automation and manufacturing markets. Humatics’ Spatial Intelligence Platform™ captures and calculates precise 3D positions, indoors and out.

Humatics’ centimeter-scale microlocation sensors and software solutions are shipping today. Millimeter-scale capabilities will be piloted in 2018 and launched in 2019.
