How a robot
builds a map.1

It starts as a rough guess.

Gaussians move, resize and recolour, again and again.

Until the scene matches what the cameras saw.

Gaussian Splatting

A scene made of small, soft, coloured blobs called Gaussians. Seen together, from any angle, they look like a photograph of the place.

Building one takes a datacenter GPU.
Mapping should happen on the robot.

Today1

Robots record now and get their map hours later, from a server.

The goal1

The map grows on the robot, while it moves.

Ateno AX

A chip built for one job:
3D mapping on the device.3

Builds the map.

Training in hardware, designed for edge power budgets.

Renders it.

A full pipeline, from Gaussians to pixels.

Fits a robot.

As a compute module or a licensed block.

Ateno AX

Plug it into your computer.3

We're designing Ateno AX as a module that connects to your computer over USB-C.
