Kshana

क्षण

/ kṣaṇa

The whole stack, on the robot, in real time.

Kshana runs the models on the robot's own compute — real-time inference at the edge, with no datacentre in the control loop. Intelligence that lives where the body is.

01CapabilitiesWhat it does
01

On-device

The control stack runs on low-power hardware the robot carries.

02

Real-time

Inside the tight loop actuators need — latency you can stand next to.

03

No cloud dependency

Works disconnected; the robot keeps its mind when the network drops.

04

Efficient

Compiled, closed-form models are small enough to run without a GPU farm.

02In depthThe work, in full
01Note A

Embodied intelligence cannot wait on a round-trip to a datacentre — the control loop is too fast and the stakes of a dropped link too high. Kshana puts the whole stack on the robot.

02Note B

Because Yantra's models are compiled rather than trained, they are compact by construction — small enough for real-time inference on hardware a robot can actually carry.

03Note C

The robot keeps its mind in a basement, a field, or a factory with no signal. Autonomy that doesn't borrow its intelligence from the cloud.
