Problem

Physical AI Starts with Accurate Perception

READY

Brain — AI

Foundation models keep getting more capable and cheaper — every year.

MISSING

Perception

Seeing and understanding the real world precisely. Everything else depends on it.

READY

Body — robot hardware

Actuators and chassis are commoditizing fast as volumes scale.

“Fine components cannot make a fine result.”

WHAT MAKES IT HARD

Any one of these is tractable on its own. Holding all four at the same time, outside the lab and across a full shift, is the part that has stayed unsolved.

Depth accuracy

A distance is only useful if the machine can act on it. Error that reads as negligible on a datasheet becomes a missed grip or a late stop at the point of contact.

Thermal drift

A module calibrated on the bench warms up in service, and its optics and sensor move with the heat. Calibration that was true at power-on stops being true, and the data gives no warning.

Sensor registration

Depth and color are assumed to describe the same point in space. Mounted and timed separately, they do not — and every measurement taken downstream inherits the offset.

Deterministic latency

An answer that arrives after the control loop has moved on is not an answer. Perception has to finish inside the machine’s cycle, on the machine, every cycle.

“$3–5 of integration for every $1 of hardware.”

WHY IT STAYS HARD

That integration cost is structural. The pieces a working perception system needs are each developed at a different company, and nobody owns the seams between them.

Imaging module

Sensor and optics, across a range of different image sensors.

Camera firmware

For module bring-up and setup.

Vision controller

For the AI vision solution.

Machine vision SDKs

Various, and AI-based.

“Who handles the integration?”

Solution

Modular Perception, Sensors to On-Device AI

We do. The two halves of the platform ship together, and there are two ways to put them to work.

Precision sensing

Depth and fused imaging at the source. Metric depth for every pixel, from a sensor priced for volume.

Edge intelligence

Detection and pose computed on-device. Server-grade spatial AI, running on the robot.

Industrial scale

Same blocks, recombined per customer. Application-specific configuration, without rebuild.

“It arrives calibrated, it holds steady outdoors, it updates itself in the field, and it drops onto whatever compute they already chose.”

Two ways to work with us

Which one fits is settled by profiling your environment, not by picking from a page.

MARU module supply

Your environment maps onto blocks that already exist. We fix the module mix and tune it against your profile before hardware ships. What you buy is a configured product.

How this works

Co-engineering

Your environment falls outside what a configuration can reach. We design with you on the same stack, so the result stays reusable instead of becoming a one-off.

How this works

Product lineup

Three ways to build the same platform

MARU Gen 2 assembles horizontally, stacks vertically, or arrives integrated. The perception blocks are the same in all three.

All products
MARU Link: sensor modules docked into a finned edge body

Assembled · horizontal

MARU Link

Four sensor modules — vision wide, vision narrow, ToF 4-VCSEL, ToF 1-VCSEL — dock into three edge bodies over Ethernet, USB-C, or SerDes. Same connector on every module, so a change of configuration is a swap.

MARU Tower: sensor, edge, and interface stages stacked into a compact cube

Assembled · vertical

MARU Tower

Sensor, edge, and interface stages stacked on one vertical axis — the smallest installed area of the three builds, for cells and cabinets where bracket space is the constraint.

MARU ONE, an all-in-one perception device

All-in-one

MARU ONE

Optics, edge compute, and I/O in one sealed housing. One mount, one cable, nothing to assemble on the line — for volume deployments where install time dominates.
