olive® Joins NVIDIA Inception Program to Scale AI-Native Sensor Fusion for Embedded Systems

Munich, Germany — July 9, 2025
Olive Robotics GmbH is proud to announce its official acceptance into the NVIDIA Inception program, a global accelerator for disruptive AI startups. This milestone recognizes our deep-tech leadership in developing AI-powered sensor fusion platforms for embedded robotics and perception systems.

Redefining Embedded Perception with AI

Unlike traditional approaches that rely on hardcoded algorithms like Kalman filters, Olive Robotics designs intelligent sensors that natively perform sensor fusion using AI models — trained on millions of real and simulated sensor datasets.

Our technologies power low-latency, high-resolution perception for a new generation of smart robotic systems. Key platforms include:

• IMU & INS Modules: Built-in AI filtering for ultra-precise motion sensing

• Thermal and Vision Cameras: Real-time multi-modal fusion for robust situational awareness

• olixSense™ Architecture: ROS-native, DDS-compliant embedded sensors

• olixAI™: On-sensor AI stack for perception and fusion at the edge

These platforms enable robotic systems to interpret and adapt to the environment in real time — with unprecedented responsiveness, reliability, and modularity.

What NVIDIA Inception Brings

As part of the Inception program, Olive Robotics gains access to:

• ⚙️ NVIDIA Hardware & SDKs
  GPU acceleration, AI tools, and early access to cutting-edge technologies

• 🧠 Training & Technical Resources
  Courses and coaching from the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute

• 🌐 Marketing & Visibility
  Global co-marketing opportunities, demo day exposure, and partner networking

• 💼 Investor & Industry Access
  Connections to top VCs, system integrators, and robotics OEMs

Our Mission

At Olive Robotics, we’re building a unified sensor intelligence layer for robotics — modular, interoperable, AI-native. Our vision is to become the go-to platform for:

• Embedded AI sensor fusion

• Real-time, software-defined sensing

• DDS/ROS-native hardware for robotic perception

From autonomous mobile robots to AGVs, drones, and industrial machines — our solutions are built to scale, adapt, and perform.

Statement from Our CEO

“Joining the NVIDIA Inception program reinforces our commitment to pushing the limits of embedded sensor intelligence,” said
Dr.-Ing. M. Leox Karimi, CEO of Olive Robotics. “By integrating high-performance AI with robust hardware, we’re building the backbone for the next generation of perception systems — agile, precise, and truly intelligent.”

Statement from Our CTO

“This partnership with NVIDIA validates the architectural approach we’ve taken with our olixSense™ and olixAI™ stacks,” said
Dr. Edwin Babaians, CTO of Olive Robotics. “Our vision is to transform sensor units into AI-native computational modules — capable of understanding, predicting, and interacting with the world around them. With NVIDIA’s support, we’re accelerating that transformation.”
