Xikaku builds the sensors and software that let autonomous systems understand where they are, how they are moving, and what is around them.

From high-precision IMUs to real-time sensor fusion, our technology powers autonomous vehicles, robotics, AR/VR, industrial motion capture, and maritime platforms around the world.

Inertial Measurement Units (IMU)

The Xikaku LPMS product line covers a full range of inertial measurement units (IMUs) - from wireless sensors to rugged IP67 navigation-grade units with integrated GNSS.

FusionHub - Real-time Sensor Fusion

Real-time sensor fusion for autonomous machines - on the vehicle, on the vessel, and at the edge.

FusionHub is Xikaku’s sensor-fusion engine. It connects to IMUs, GNSS/RTK receivers, wheel odometry, and optical trackers, fuses them through a collection of highly optimized real-time filters, and outputs continuous, low-latency pose, motion and navigation data.

One engine covers ground vehicles and AGVs, aerial platforms, vessels, mocap stages and AR/VR headsets. It runs as a single native binary on Windows, Mac and Linux, on the desktop or headless at the edge, and embeds into your own software over a plugin API, TCP/IP or UDP.

Instead of hand-wiring GPS drivers, IMU filters, odometry math and protocol converters, you get one configurable engine:

• Standard sensors and protocols - first-party integrations, no custom drivers to write.
• Field-tested fusion - IMU-optical, GNSS-IMU, odometry-IMU, differential IMU, COG-referenced heading and more.
• Ready-made outputs - ROS 2, NMEA, MQTT, VRPN, DDS and WebSocket.
• Deploy anywhere - Windows, Mac or Linux, GUI or headless, embeddable via C FFI, licensed per feature.

See the full FusionHub page for architecture details, supported sensors, and deployment examples.

Applications of our Technology

LPVR Mixed Reality Solution for Motion Simulators

Traditional flight simulators require large and expensive projection dome constructions to display immersive content to the user. Using LPVR, a dome can be replaced by a mixed reality headset. This leads to signifcant cost savings, usually $500k or more.

Traditional mixed reality headsets don’t work on moving platforms or in a simulator installed on a vehicle such as a ship. LPVR uses specialised technology to decouple head motion and platform motion to allow reliable headset tracking.

Simulation specialist Cruden is using LPVR to decouple the rocking motion of the speed boat motion platform from the head motion of the user. In this way both the cockpit of the speed boat as well as the world around the boat can be shown to the pilot in training at the highest level of immersion.

COG-Referenced Magnetic Heading for Maritime Applications

Magnetic heading on the water is hard: steel hulls, electrical loads and turns corrupt the compass, and a manual swing is impractical. The Marine Heading filter fuses gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer with GPS course-over-ground - and the vessel’s true-heading feed when available - into a stabilized heading, calibrating hard-iron offset and deviation automatically and gating out magnetic disturbance.

A dedicated page shows the live heading, the health of each input, and the calibration state. Output streams over NMEA to autopilots and chart plotters, over MQTT for shore telemetry, and to the built-in map - a marine-grade heading and position source without a separate INS.

See the full Use cases page for more deployments.

Our Story

Xikaku is an American company headquartered in Venice, California, and the US companion of LP-Research, our Tokyo-founded sensor and sensor-fusion R&D group. Together we turn two decades of motion-sensing research into products that ship worldwide across automotive, aerospace, robotics, industrial, and AR/VR.
