He made your free video player run smoothly. Now he’s doing that for robots.
A former lead developer of VLC Media Player is applying his expertise in low-latency video streaming to build Kyber, a platform for real-time control of remote devices, including robots and drones. The startup, based in Paris, has raised $5 million to scale its infrastructure layer, which synchronizes video, audio, and sensor data with minimal delay. The technology aims to support the growing need for managing large numbers of remote devices efficiently, and it is designed to work across a wide range of applications, from small-scale IoT systems to massive fleets of autonomous machines. Kyber's open-source foundation allows broad accessibility, while enterprise customers can access a commercial version for tailored deployment.
A developer who created the popular VLC Media Player is now working on Kyber, a system that helps control robots and drones with low latency.
As robots become more common, Kyber’s ability to manage large numbers of devices in real time could be key to making them reliable and efficient.
Kyber’s open-source approach and focus on real-world applications show how technology can be built to benefit many, not just a few.
