We Provide Precision Sensing and Motion, with True Interoperability.
ROS inside. Intelligence Everywhere.
Robot hardware with embedded-AI and real-time DDS performance.
Ultra-precise, low-latency, and ready from plug-in to production.
Smarter Sensors. Faster Motion. Simpler Robotics.
We fuse embedded AI, native ROS 2/DDS, and seamless connectivity to build intelligent, interoperable sensors and actuators for robotics.
From IMUs to vision and connectivity modules — every olive™ device is plug, integrate, and scale.
Intelligence Inside. Embedded AI.
Every olive™ device integrates sensors/controllers with an AI-driven fusion pipeline. Embedded Kalman filters and adaptive signal models run directly on the chip, compensating for drift, vibration, and thermal variation in real time. Confidence metrics and anomaly detection are published alongside raw and fused data, giving roboticists a transparent, reliable foundation for autonomy.
Modular, Scalable Hardware.
Our system-in-package architecture integrates CPU, memory, and PMIC with flexible I/O on a compact footprint. Interfaces like USB-C Ethernet and Gigabit PoE are natively supported, enabling both single-cable development setups and industrial cabinet integration. A unified hardware and software abstraction layer allows the same module design to scale from IMUs to actuators, simplifying integration and reducing lifecycle cost.
ROS Native. Out of the Box.
No wrappers. No custom drivers. Each module exposes itself as a ROS 2 node from first power-on. Data is distributed via a ROS-certified DDS stack, publishing topics like /imu/data, /camera/image, or /actuator/status with deterministic QoS profiles. This ensures seamless interoperability across heterogeneous systems — from single-robot experiments to fleet deployments.
Low Latency. High Precision.
Built on a real-time Linux kernel, olive™ hardware achieves <1 ms end-to-end latency at output data rates up to 1000 Hz. Hardware-assisted IEEE-1588 PTP synchronization enables microsecond alignment across multi-sensor networks, ensuring precise fusion and control loops. This deterministic performance is what makes our hardware suited for demanding applications in AMRs, UAVs, and industrial robotics.
