About Us
Founded in 2016, Ubotica Technologies provides technical expertise in the areas of Computer Vision and Machine Learning in embedded systems at the Edge.
Ubotica is headquartered in Ireland with a team of AI Engineers based in DCU Alpha, Glasnevin, Dublin and also has a team of Computer Vision Engineers in Spain based in UCLM, Ciudad Real.
The founders of the company have over 100 years of combined expertise in the information technology sector and have been instrumental in the success of several companies including Parthus Technologies (silicon IP), GloNav (GPS receivers) and most recently Movidius (low power vision processing), which was acquired by Intel in 2016.
Ubotica has developed Computer Vision and Machine Learning algorithms for several different market segments including Space, IoT, Industry 4.0 and Biomedical. The Intel Movidius Myriad family of Vision Processing Units (VPU) is used to provide Computer Vision and Machine Learning functionality for many of Ubotica’s solutions.
