What is AirPath®
The Real-Time On-Device AI Platform for Robotic Intelligence

To unlock the next generation of robotics,
machines must process, reason, and respond in real-time — without relying on the cloud.
AirPath® is a high-performance on-device AI platform built to power humanoids, service robots, AI home agents, and intelligent mobility systems.

More than just model compression,
AirPath® delivers a complete integration of SoC architecture, OS, firmware, AI runtime, and middleware,
setting a new standard for embedded intelligence at the edge.

AirPath® enables real-time, scalable AI that brings the age of hybrid and hyperintelligent robotics into reality.

The Rise of On-Device & Hybrid AI ,
Why AirPath® Matters Now

As AI applications move closer to the edge, the demand for high-performance, real-time inference is rapidly transforming the robotics industry. Traditional cloud-dependent systems are no longer sufficient to support the intelligence and autonomy required in next-generation robots.

AirPath® is a purpose-built on-device AI platform that combines: 


– High-speed tensor SoC and NPU integration
– ML workload acceleration through advanced AI programming
– A flexible and scalable software architecture
– Optimized firmware and embedded OS support
– Lightweight, high-performance AI models

These capabilities converge to provide a ready-to-deploy development environment for building intelligent robots, humanoids, smart mobility systems, LLM-powered home agents, and industrial AI machines.

More than just a development kit, AirPath® is an end-to-end AI solution stack — the brain for advanced robotics, enabling tight integration, edge-level inference, and hybrid intelligence across the AI spectrum.

On-device AI cannot be achieved through model optimization alone.
A high-performance on-device AI pipeline requires deep understanding of the SoC architecture and stack, combined with kernel and firmware-level optimization.

End-to-End Pipe Line for On-device AI

From Silicon to Intelligence — Building the Brain for AI Devices

At Integrit, we go beyond lightweight AI model compression.
We design the full on-device AI pipeline — from silicon to intelligence.

Our development process spans every critical layer of the embedded AI stack, integrating SoC architectures, firmware systems, runtime frameworks, and multimodal AI models into one unified ecosystem.

01

Next-Generation AI SoC Integration

Integrit’s BSP platform brings together Qualcomm Dragonwing™ and NVIDIA Orin™ SoCs, combining AP, NPU, and TPU resources into a high-efficiency edge AI environment. Our expertise in SoC software stacks, hardware resource control, and low-power design enables the creation of unified, high-performance BSPs optimized for AI inference at the edge.

02

OS & Firmware Development

We design embedded firmware and kernel-level integration for Linux, Ubuntu, Android, and ROS2 environments. This includes sensor driver synchronization, LiDAR and multi-camera control, and memory resource management — ensuring a stable, real-time AI execution environment across complex robotic and IoT systems

03

AI Runtime & Middleware Frameworks

Integrit optimizes the operation of global AI runtime libraries such as TensorRT, SNPE, ONNX, and TVM, building an AI middleware architecture tailored for each SoC and operating system. This ensures maximized performance, lower latency, and energy-efficient AI inference across devices running multimodal workloads.

04

Lightweight AI Model Integration

Finally, we integrate optimized and compressed AI models directly into the device runtime. Our on-device LLM, VLA, and multimodal AI architecture enables real-time tensor computation, adaptive reasoning, and multimodal perception — all executed locally, without reliance on the cloud. This allows multiple AI models to coexist and cooperate seamlessly within a single embedded platform.

An End-to-End AI Solution for High-Performance Robot Brains

Integrit builds the full brain.

From chip-level kernel drivers to multimodal runtime,

What is commonly called “on-device AI” today is often just cloud-trained models compressed through public quantization or lightweight conversion frameworks. Yet real on-device AI—running multiple models concurrently, under strict compute and thermal limits, on robots that require deterministic real-time inference—demands a fundamentally deeper engineering approach.

Integrit delivers this by architecting and optimizing the complete execution stack: tensor SoC core scheduling, memory and bandwidth orchestration, firmware-level tuning, and real-time control integration, creating a truly operational and intelligent embedded brain.

From AI model development to hardware execution, AirPath® provides a unified workflow—
an all-in-one development environment that enables model development, deployment, execution, integration, and scalable expansion on a single platform.

Echo System for On Device AI Develpoment

From Silicon to Intelligence — Building the Brain for AI Devices

AirPath® delivers a fully integrated, SoC-aware AI execution pipeline that spans the entire lifecycle of embedded AI deployment—covering model generation, quantization and lightweight optimization, hardware-level graph mapping, firmware driver binding, and deterministic real-time control. All processes are engineered to align with the underlying SoC architecture, accelerator topology, and hardware interface subsystems.

By tightly coupling model execution with low-level hardware operations, AirPath® provides synchronized control across heterogeneous compute units, sensor arrays, and multimedia pipelines. This includes coordinated driver-layer integration (I2C, SPI, GPIO, PCIe, V4L2, GStreamer), timing-accurate multi-sensor fusion, and runtime orchestration within the SoC’s AI, DSP, GPU, and ISP domains.

Through this unified SoC–firmware–AI stack, developers can rapidly prototype, optimize, and validate AI workloads and deploy them seamlessly to AirPath®-enabled devices—achieving predictable real-time performance and stable operation in resource-constrained edge and robotic environments.

Firmware Development
& Optimization for On-Device AI

Engineering AI & Enabling Edge

On-device AI and autonomous robotics require a fully integrated system stack. True on-device AI is not achieved by simply compressing a model and deploying it to a device; it demands the seamless integration of the AI SoC, firmware, operating system, sensor pipelines, multimedia subsystems, networking, and real-time control.

Integrit possesses deep-tech capabilities to build software-defined hardware, developing and integrating the most fundamental and complex layers—including the kernel, system components, firmware, and hardware interfaces—to deliver a fully optimized on-device AI platform.

Building a truly optimized on-device AI system requires an integrated and finely tuned stack that spans the AI SoC–based hardware, firmware, operating system, and robotics layers. On-device AI is not achieved through high-level models or applications alone; it depends on a deeply engineered foundation—kernel optimizations, device drivers, sensor control, multimedia pipelines, connectivity frameworks, security, and the full boot chain—all tailored to the underlying hardware.

Integrit has established the full-stack capabilities required for this foundation, including: 

 

  • Linux/Ubuntu-based Rootfs development

  • Kernel and device-driver optimization (I2C, SPI, USB, PCIe, UFS, Ethernet, HDMI, and more)

  • Multimedia and compute pipelines for multi-sensor and camera processing (V4L2, OpenCL, OpenGLES, GStreamer, etc.)

  • Connectivity stacks for WLAN, Bluetooth, and 5G

  • AI/CV acceleration using Qualcomm® Hexagon DSP, Neural Processing SDK, DirectNN, and Computer Vision SDK

  • Robotics frameworks including MoveIt, SLAM, and ROS/ROS2

  • System integrity and update mechanisms such as bootloaders, Fastboot, A/B OTA, and DM-verity

 

These layers form the essential infrastructure enabling real, deterministic on-device AI performance.
