Atomathic, the company once known as Neural Propulsion Systems, is stepping into the spotlight with a bold claim: its new AI platforms can help machines “see the invisible”. With the commercial launch of AIDAR™ and AISIR™, the company says it is opening a new chapter for physical AI, AI sensing and advanced sensor technology across automotive, aviation, defense, robotics and semiconductor manufacturing.
The idea behind these platforms is simple yet ambitious. Machines gather enormous amounts of signal data, yet they still struggle to understand the faint, fast or hidden details that matter most when making decisions. Atomathic says its software closes that gap. By applying AI signal processing directly to raw physical signals, the company aims to help sensors pick up subtle patterns that traditional systems miss, enabling faster reactions and more confident autonomous system performance.
"To realize the promise of physical AI, machines must achieve greater autonomy, precision and real-time decision-making—and Atomathic is defining that future," said Dr. Behrooz Rezvani, Founder and CEO of Atomathic. "We make the invisible visible. Our technology fuses the rigor of mathematics with the power of AI to transform how sensors and machines interact with the world—unlocking capabilities once thought to be theoretical. What can be imagined mathematically can now be realized physically."
This technical shift is powered by Atomathic’s deeper mathematical framework. The core of its approach is a method called hyperdefinition technology, which uses the Atomic Norm and fast computational techniques to map sparse physical signals. In simple terms, it pulls clarity out of chaos. This enables ultra-high-resolution signal visualization in real time—something the company claims has never been achieved at this scale in real-time sensing.
AIDAR and AISIR are already being trialled and integrated across multiple sectors and they’re designed to work with a broad range of hardware. That hardware-agnostic design is poised to matter even more as industries shift toward richer, more detailed sensing. Analysts expect the automotive sensor market to surge in the coming years, with radar imaging, next-gen ADAS systems and high-precision machine perception playing increasingly central roles.
Atomathic’s technology comes from a tight-knit team with deep roots in mathematics, machine intelligence and AI research, drawing talent from institutions such as Caltech, UCLA, Stanford and the Technical University of Munich. After seven years of development, the company is ready to show its progress publicly, starting with demonstrations at CES 2026 in Las Vegas.
Suppose the future of autonomy depends on machines perceiving the world with far greater fidelity. In that case, Atomathic is betting that the next leap forward won’t come from more hardware, but from rethinking the math behind the signal—and redefining what physical AI can do.

Rokid has reached a significant crowdfunding milestone in Taiwan. Its Rokid Glasses campaign surpassed NT$62 million in pre-order funding on zeczec, Taiwan’s creative-oriented crowdfunding platform. The campaign ranked No. 1 across all categories on the platform in 2025 and entered the Top 10 funded campaigns in zeczec’s history, setting new records for AI and XR-related projects.
The campaign launched on October 28 and became one of the platform’s most prominent technology initiatives of the year. According to the company, the outcome followed growing visibility for Rokid Glasses after product showcases in New York, Berlin, Singapore and Paris, positioning the Taiwan campaign within a broader international rollout.
The crowdfunding achievement coincided with Rokid’s official market entry in Taiwan. On December 10, the company debuted Rokid Glasses locally, introducing the product to media, partners and early users in the region. The Taiwan launch mirrored earlier international events and connected the online crowdfunding campaign with a physical market presence.
Rokid Glasses combine augmented reality displays with built-in AI functions, including real-time multilingual translation, live transcription, navigation, object recognition and voice assistance. These capabilities were central to how the product was presented during both the crowdfunding campaign and the Taiwan launch, without framing the project as a traditional consumer electronics release.
The Taiwan campaign builds on Rokid’s prior crowdfunding history. The company previously raised more than US$4 million on Kickstarter, where Rokid Glasses became the highest-funded XR wearable project on the platform. The zeczec campaign extends that track record into one of Asia’s most established consumer electronics markets.
“Taiwan has one of the world's most mature and discerning consumer electronics markets”, said Said Justo Chang, Head of Global Channels at Rokid. “Reaching the top of Taiwan's crowdfunding platform is a great commercial achievement. We are excited to finally introduce Rokid Glasses to Taiwan”.
More broadly, the campaign highlights how crowdfunding platforms continue to function as launch and distribution channels for emerging AI and XR hardware. In Rokid’s case, product rollout, market entry and public participation converged within a single campaign, marking a notable moment for AI-enabled wearables in Taiwan’s technology landscape.
