Scaling Real-Time Robot Control to Millions of Devices: VLC Creator's New Venture

Jean-Baptiste Kempf, the legendary creator of VLC Media Player, is channeling decades of optimization expertise into Kyber, a low-latency infrastructure platform for controlling millions of robots in real time. As physical AI systems demand millisecond-precision control at unprecedented scale, Kyber addresses a critical infrastructure gap that existing enterprise solutions have yet to solve. The $5M funding from Lightspeed reflects growing investor recognition that robust, scalable control infrastructure will be essential to unlocking the next generation of AI-powered robotics and autonomous systems.
