Custom silicon, multimodal 4D sensors and spatial software that give robots a trustworthy real-time view of the world — owned from the transistor up.
Lyte builds the sensing layer for robots: custom silicon, multimodal 4D sensors and the spatial software that interprets their signals, developed and owned from the transistor up rather than assembled from third-party parts. Its LyteVision platform fuses 4D vision with RGB and inertial data so machines can tell where they are and what is moving around them in messy real-world conditions, addressing data alignment, latency and predictive safety; LyteGalaxy is the wider platform around it. Founded in 2021 in Sunnyvale by three former Apple sensing-and-perception engineers — Alexander Shpunt, Arman Hajati and Yuval Gerson — the company came out of stealth in January 2026 and ships to customers in inspection, logistics and manufacturing.
