Millimeter-Accurate Ground Truth for Humanoid Robots

ZeroKey’s Quantum RTLS^® gives humanoid robots a precise spatial foundation: 1.5 mm 3D tracking for robot location, limb motion, teleoperation, task training, and continuous correction of camera- and SLAM-based systems across real operating environments.

High-Accuracy Motion, Position, and Pose Tracking

Humanoid robots need reliable spatial data when cameras drift, SLAM loses confidence, or environments get cluttered.

ZeroKey delivers high-accuracy position and pose data that keeps teleoperation sharper, training data cleaner, and robot behavior more consistent across real facilities, not just controlled lab settings.

Built for the Full Humanoid Robotics Stack

Teleoperation

Translate human motion into precise robotic control with stable, absolute motion data. Improve responsiveness, replay, supervision, and control in hazardous or remote environments.

Task Training

Capture clean, repeatable motion data for demonstrations, imitation learning, task segmentation, and behavior training. Track robots, operators, and tools in the same reference frame.

Calibration & Correction

Calibrate robot systems, validate kinematics, align coordinate frames, and continuously correct drift in camera- and SLAM-based estimates.

Real-World Ground Truth

Give humanoid robots a persistent source of absolute position and pose when visual conditions degrade, feature points shift, or onboard estimates accumulate error.

Why ZeroKey

High-accuracy, low-latency tracking over wide areas

Cheaper and more scalable than traditional mocap

Direct API access to raw position and quaternion pose

Field deployable by non-specialists into any environment

Pair Quantum RTLS with OmniVisor AI™ to move from raw spatial data to actionable process intelligence. Query robot motion history, detect behavioral anomalies in real time, and monitor multi-robot environments from a single interface, powered by the same millimeter-accurate position data feeding your robotics stack.

ZeroKey Historian API - Developer Code Embed

import requests
from signalrcore.hub_connection_builder import HubConnectionBuilder

TOKEN = "<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>"
API   = "https://<YOUR_DEPLOYMENT>.edge.zerokey.com/v3"

conn = requests.post(
    f"{API}/events/connections",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}"},
    json={
        "Mode": "read",
        "Filters": [
            {"FilterTemplate": "position_events"}
        ],
    },
).json()

hub = HubConnectionBuilder().with_url(
    conn["EndpointURI"],
    options={"access_token_factory": lambda: conn["EndpointID"]},
).build()

hub.start()

Direct API Access

ZeroKey’s open API makes it easy to stream raw events directly into robotic middleware, data pipelines, teleoperation software, or sensor-fusion stacks. Robots can consume raw position and quaternion pose directly from the mobile over USB-connected workflows or through the event stream, depending on the integration architecture.

Stream high-accuracy motion data into ROS2, teleop controllers, robotics logging pipelines, simulation environments, or perception-fusion stacks with minimal integration overhead.

Better than Traditional Mocap

Legacy Challenges

Traditional motion capture systems rely on cameras and optical markers that often break down in industrial and field settings due to occlusion, lighting variability, limited range, specialist-heavy setup, and difficulty scaling across large areas.

ZeroKey’s Solution

ZeroKey delivers industrial-grade motion tracking powered by millimeter-accurate RTLS. It scales across robots, operators, and equipment, deploys quickly without specialist crews, and provides the absolute spatial reference that robotics teams need for control, training, and validation in real-world environments.

Fast Setup.
Real Data.

ZeroKey is designed for rapid deployment in robotics environments without specialist installation workflows. Set up measurement zones quickly, connect to the API, and start streaming usable position and pose data in under an hour.

• Rapid setup of measurement zones
• No specialist survey crew required
• Easy expansion across larger spaces
• Practical for labs, pilot lines, warehouses,
and field environments
• IP-rated hardware options available

Position Payload

Timestamped, unique, robot-ready data

Each mobile outputs a unique identity, timestamped measurement data, 3D position, velocity, and quaternion rotation. That makes it easy to synchronize events, detect packet loss, and filter downstream data based on status and quality signals.
