The Challenges in Building Smart Hardware

Real-time delays, semantic failures, and integration chaos can hinder smart hardware success and erode user experience.

Real-time Performance
Response delays break user experience and make smart devices feel dumb.
Semantic Understanding
Poor semantic understanding leads to misunderstood commands and frustrated users.
System Integration
Coordinating hardware, middleware, and AI models creates integration complexity and development delays.

Core Technologies for Intelligent Interaction

Unlock the full potential of smart hardware with six basic capabilities. Master perception through sensors, microphones, and cameras. Excel at interaction through AI understanding, natural speech, and intelligent control.

MQTT

Perceptible

MQTT delivers millisecond latency, ultra-low power, and million-scale connections as the de facto standard for IoT sensor data transmission.

WebRTC

Audible, Visible, Speakable

WebRTC enables real-time audio, video communication with ASR, TTS, and computer vision for natural multimodal interaction across platforms.

LLM/VLM

Understandable

LLM/VLM models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude power intelligent understanding through semantic processing and multimodal intelligence.

MCP

Actionable

Open MCP protocol connects AI models to smart hardware for dynamic device control with unified interfaces and real-time performance.
