Embedded AI at the Edge

Deterministic, low-latency AI inference on automotive-grade controllers, purpose-built for functional safety and real-time control.

Overview

Automata Mobility deploys AI inference directly on Edge AI Controllers, ARM SoCs, NPUs, GPUs and DSPs, running on RTOS and Embedded Linux with automotive-grade functional safety. Models are optimised for the vehicle envelope — millisecond-scale latency, thermal and power constraints — enabling safety-critical features like collision warning, blind spot detection, rider assistance and driver monitoring.
