Acceleration Robotics
"Faster robots."
Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain semiconductor startup founded 2021 by Victor Mayoral Vilches; builds FPGA and GPU hardware acceleration for ROS 2 robots.
Acceleration Robotics is a robotics semiconductor company founded in 2021 by Victor Mayoral Vilches and headquartered in Vitoria-Gasteiz, in the Basque Country of Spain. The company designs compute architectures that offload Robot Operating System (ROS and ROS 2) workloads from general-purpose CPUs onto FPGAs and GPUs.
Its flagship line, ROBOTCORE, is a family of hardware acceleration cores built around a robot-specific processing unit that combines 16 CPU cores with a GPU and an FPGA in a single embedded compute unit, kept API-compatible with ROS 2 so existing application code runs unchanged. Variants target specific workloads: ROBOTCORE ROS 2 and ROBOTCORE RTPS implement the DDS-RTPS inter-robot communication protocol in FPGA hardware for low-latency messaging between robots, ROBOTCORE Perception and Transform accelerate mapping, localization and coordinate-frame computation, and ROBOTCORE Collaborative targets dynamic collision avoidance for human-robot interaction. The company has partnered with AMD to co-design compute architectures pairing ROS 2 toolchains with AMD's Adaptive SoCs and programmable logic.
The technology targets industrial robots and autonomous mobile robots that need deterministic, low-latency control and perception, along with research groups developing custom robotic compute architectures.
