Numurus LLC
Seattle software company building NEPI, a source-available ROS 2 edge AI platform with plug-and-play drivers and AI orchestration for robots and smart systems.
Numurus LLC is a Seattle, Washington-based software company founded in 2017 by CEO Jason Seawall and co-founder Ian McKissick. The company is headquartered at 909 NE Boat St, Seattle, WA 98105, USA. Seawall previously founded BlueView, a robotic sonar sensor company acquired by Teledyne in 2012, and leveraged that experience to address what he identified as a critical AI technology gap in robotic and smart sensing system development.
Numurus's flagship product is NEPI (Numurus Edge Platform Interface), a source-available edge AI software platform built on ROS 2. NEPI provides approximately 90% of the infrastructure required for building smart systems — robots, autonomous vehicles, sensor arrays, and industrial automation devices — out of the box, dramatically reducing software development timelines from years to months. Core NEPI features include a plug-and-play hardware abstraction layer with standardized drivers for a wide range of sensors and actuators; AI model deployment pipelines; low-code automation and orchestration tools; a browser-based monitoring and control interface; and data and system management utilities.
Numurus holds USPTO patent US 12/222,307B2 covering the core Smart Edge Platform technology that underpins NEPI, specifically the architecture for standardized hardware abstraction, automated device recognition, and edge-native AI deployment.
The company joined NVIDIA's Metropolis program to accelerate industrial edge-AI and robotics applications, leveraging Jetson-based compute hardware. Numurus offers NEPI-enabled edge-compute hardware in several configurations: models built around NVIDIA Jetson Nano, Jetson Xavier NX, Orin NX, and Orin AGX processors, each pre-installed with Ubuntu OS, NVIDIA JetPack, and the NEPI software stack, with optional environmental packaging for industrial deployment.
Target verticals include defense and government (DARPA programs for autonomous threat detection and maritime domain awareness), maritime and underwater robotics, industrial inspection automation, and university research teams. Numurus secured $2 million in seed funding from Tokusui Corporation of America. The NEPI codebase is publicly available on GitHub under the nepi-engine organization. The company employs 11–50 people.
