Lyte

580 Howard St Unit 401, San Francisco, CA, United States

Overview

Headquartered in Mountain View, California, Lyte develops LyteVision, an end-to-end perception system that fuses advanced 4D sensing, RGB imaging, and motion awareness into a single connection for autonomous machines. The platform delivers unified spatial and visual data so developers no longer have to calibrate and integrate multiple third-party sensors, shortening deployment time for mobile robots, robotic arms, quadrupeds, robotaxis, and humanoids. Lyte pairs its hardware with an AI-driven operating layer that continually improves as vision, language, and action models advance. The company was founded by Alexander Shpunt, Arman Hajati, and Yuval Gerson—the architects behind Apple Face ID and Microsoft Kinect—and is backed by semiconductor veteran Avigdor Willenz as founding investor and chairman. Lyte’s technology has already earned a CES 2026 Best of Innovation Award in Robotics and an Honoree title in Vehicle Tech and Advanced Mobility. To date, the company has secured $107 million in aggregate funding from leading institutional investors. This capital supports the build-out of its unified sensing stack, global hiring, and commercialization plans aimed at capturing a share of the projected $125 billion AI robotics market by 2030.
