VLC Creator Launches Kyber — Low‑Latency Robotics Control Platform

Friends, I want to share news from robotics and IoT. Jean‑Baptiste Kempf, creator of VLC, is building Kyber — an SDK and infrastructure for synchronous control of remote devices: video, audio, sensor data and input with minimal latency. The startup raised $5M from Lightspeed.

Key points:
— Leverages streaming expertise and device‑compute optimizations to cut lag.
— Use cases: robots, drones, remote IT access; already commercially deployed in defense, telecom and AI.
— Model: open‑source core + enterprise product and an FDE team for deployments.

Why it matters: A scalable, low‑latency platform is critical where milliseconds determine outcomes.

How do you assess the prospects for platforms enabling physical AI?
