Sensor fusion is foundational infrastructure being treated like custom engineering. It wastes time, costs money, and breaks in production.

Developers building production robotics hit the same wall on every deployment. Low-level sensor drivers written from scratch. Adapters rebuilt. DDS configurations tuned by hand. Calibration logic rewritten. When it breaks, timestamps drift, QoS misconfigures, latency goes inconsistent, sensor fusion fails. Bad perception. Bad decisions. Robots that fail in the field.

The opportunity: Become the sensor fusion layer every robotics team consumes instead of builds. Own the data foundation, then expand into the constraint layer, the policy layer, and the full middleware stack sitting between hardware and AI models across every robotics vertical.

We're looking for Founders to leverage their domain expertise, and are convinced AI can deliver the outcomes better than humans to build full-stack, AI Native services in industries where outcomes depend on expertise, regulation, and trust.
