Pendulum Systems
"AI-powered positioning where GPS fails"
Seattle AI software company delivering device-native alt-PNT navigation for GPS-denied environments across drones, defense, and supply chains.
Pendulum Systems, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, is an AI software company that builds hardware-agnostic geolocation and positioning solutions for environments where GPS is unavailable or unreliable. Its flagship product, Navigate, is an alternative positioning, navigation, and timing (alt-PNT) platform that runs entirely on-device using inertial and sensor data—requiring no new hardware, cameras, or connectivity. Navigate enables assured PNT for drones, personnel, and assets in GPS-denied or GPS-degraded settings.
The company holds contracts with the US Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) and Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) to expand Navigate to small UAS platforms. Pendulum also operates a supply chain optimization API that predicts demand, optimizes supply, and geolocates assets continuously. Founded as Macro-Eyes, the company rebranded as Pendulum Systems and has raised $22 million in total funding.
Customers span national security organizations, global retailers (including Victoria's Secret), and health organizations in Africa. The company employs approximately 51 people across North America, Europe, and Africa.

Legged robots fall over for control reasons, not mechanical ones. Tedrake's free MIT 6.832 notes explain why, and what a controller must do about it.
