viam-server (Edge Runtime)

The core open-source binary written in Go that runs on the machine. It manages local drivers, motion planning, and exposes gRPC endpoints for remote control.

2. Data-Centric AI Pipeline

Viam focuses on the "capture-to-cloud-to-inference" loop, enabling rapid ML deployment on heterogeneous hardware.

Selective Edge Capture

Capture data based on specific triggers or intervals, optimized for low-bandwidth edge conditions.

Hardware-Agnostic ML

Deploy TFLite or ONNX models to any device through a standard Vision Service API.

Strategic Partnership Opportunities

Viam's modular registry and cloud integration offer multiple entry points for hardware OEMs and industrial integrators.
