MIPS has launched its groundbreaking Atlas product suite, bringing real-time intelligence to autonomous edge platforms.
As industries race towards automation, real-time intelligence is becoming the backbone of next-generation autonomous solutions. MIPS, a global leader in compute subsystems, has unveiled its revolutionary Atlas portfolio, designed to empower industrial robotics and autonomous platforms with cutting-edge computation, safety, and efficiency.
Revolutionizing Physical AI with Real-Time Computing
The MIPS Atlas suite is crafted to address the rapidly growing Physical AI sector, an industry projected to exceed $1 trillion. By integrating high-performance real-time computing with functional safety and post-generative AI model deployment, the Atlas suite enables industries to create intelligent, autonomous platforms that can sense, think, and act with unmatched precision.
A Strategic Leap Forward
“The demand for high-efficiency autonomous platforms is accelerating across various sectors, including driverless vehicles and smart factory automation,” said Sameer Wasson, CEO of MIPS. “With the Atlas portfolio, we’re delivering a comprehensive tech stack that supports real-time data processing, safety, and automation, making it a game-changer for Physical AI platforms.”
The Three Pillars of Physical AI: Sense, Think, Act
The Atlas suite is structured to provide seamless enablement for the three fundamental aspects of Physical AI:
- Sense: Leveraging advanced sensors to interpret the environment in real time.
- Think: Processing data at the edge with ultra-fast, private decision-making capabilities.
- Act: Enabling low-latency control of motors and actuators for precise, autonomous movements.
This framework ensures that AI-driven platforms can operate with enhanced accuracy and speed, making them ideal for mission-critical applications.
Accelerating Time to Market with Atlas Explorer
The MIPS Atlas suite is further supported by the Atlas Explorer software platform, which allows developers to employ a shift-left methodology to expedite application development and deployment. With digital twin simulations, companies can refine their AI models and optimize performance before launching physical prototypes.
Industry Recognition and Future Developments
Experts in the field are already acknowledging the potential of the Atlas suite. Jim McGregor, Principal Analyst at Tirias Research, stated, “MIPS has developed a unique multi-threaded architecture that optimizes low-latency event-driven computing, making it a key player in emerging Physical AI applications.”
The suite’s roadmap includes the release of the M8500 real-time compute subsystem for select customers in mid-2025, with evaluation boards arriving by the fourth quarter of 2025 and reference silicon platforms expected in early 2026. A key milestone will be the production rollout of an automotive platform featuring the M8500 in 2027.
Pioneering the Future of Autonomous Platforms
By integrating safety, efficiency, and real-time intelligence, MIPS is set to redefine the landscape of autonomous technologies. With industries increasingly adopting AI-driven automation, solutions like the MIPS Atlas suite are crucial in ensuring seamless, intelligent, and safe autonomous operations.
