Deploying computer vision on robots still feels harder than it should. AI drains the battery, and “specialized” AI hardware is often a nightmare to program and integrate.
Durance makes it easy. We’re building RIVER, a breakthrough silicon technology purpose-built for embedded computer vision in robots. Inspired by the brain, RIVER delivers unprecedented energy efficiency—up to 100× better than GPU-based approaches—without compromising speed or accuracy.
And it’s designed for real-world teams: simple to program, straightforward to integrate, and focused on what matters. It fits into existing robot stacks with minimal friction, accelerating development from prototype to production. With RIVER, computer vision at the edge isn’t just possible—it’s effortless, for robots and the people who build them.
