Lyte

Lyte, founded in 2021 and emerged from stealth in 2025, builds the perception layer of Physical AI. The company develops end-to-end vision systems that unify sensing, compute and software to deliver reliable 4D perception for robots operating in the physical world, an area it describes as a decades-old perception gap in robotics. It was founded by former Apple Face ID engineers.

Its product is an integrated sensing, compute and software platform built around ultra-low latency AI processing of dense 4D data at the edge, turning raw sensor data into intelligent action. The system is designed to provide reliable perception across varying weather, lighting and terrain conditions. Technical work spans computer vision, 4D perception, sensor fusion, edge AI processing and low-latency edge compute.

Lyte reports $107m in total funding. Its vision systems support five robot platforms: autonomous mobile robots, robotic arms, quadrupeds, robotaxis and humanoids. The company emphasises reliability in messy, real-world conditions across the robotics and autonomous vehicle sectors.
