Four pillars of noise-robust edge intelligence

Each technology addresses a distinct sensing modality with a unified design principle: structural robustness without runtime overhead.

Audio AI

NC-SSM KWS

Noise-Conditioned State Space Model for always-on keyword spotting. Five noise-conditioning mechanisms achieve structural robustness without separate denoising — works on $5 MCUs with 7ms latency.

7,443 params 7.1ms latency 95.3% accuracy 7.3KB INT8
Live Demo
Visual AI

NC-SSM Vision

NC-Conv extends noise-conditioning to vision. A learned quality gate blends dynamic and static convolution paths — enabling robust lane detection through fog, rain, tunnels, and low-light on an $8 MCU.

253K params 28 FPS +6.1% vs baseline 0.5W power

Signal Intelligence

COP-RFS

COP resolves up to 2ρ(M−1) sources from M sensors via 4th-order cumulants, coupled with RFS multi-target tracking. Mamba-COP-RL adds a selective SSM temporal encoder with PPO-based adaptive track management — achieving GOSPA −4.5% and false tracks −8% over baseline.

Spoken Language Understanding

NC-SLU

First sub-100K parameter end-to-end spoken language understanding with few-shot intent addition. NC-OPAL two-stage incremental learning (prototype imprinting + LoRA + KD) adds new voice commands from just 20 examples — 23× smaller than SpeechCache.

About

Built by a researcher, for real-world deployment

NanoAgentic AI is an IP-driven research company focused on building the smallest, most robust AI models for edge deployment. Our work spans audio intelligence, computer vision, and signal intelligence.

Every architecture we design follows a single principle: structural robustness without runtime overhead. Rather than bolting on denoising modules or augmentation hacks, we engineer noise immunity directly into the model's computation graph.

Our technologies are protected by a growing patent portfolio and validated through peer-reviewed publications at top-tier venues including IEEE, Interspeech, ACCV, CVPR, and ICCV.
