About Tycho.AI Tycho.AI is a venture-backed pioneer in autonomous intelligence for unmanned systems, delivering breakthrough performance at the edge. Led by serial entrepreneurs with successful exits and roots at MIT and Harvard, we design advanced hardware and software as an integrated whole, enabling AI systems that sense, decide, and act in real-time, without dependence on remote infrastructure. Our modular architectures combine advanced sensing, adaptive AI models, and high-performance edge compute to create resilient, mission-ready autonomy. By uniting hardware optimization with cutting-edge algorithms, Tycho.AI is transforming how AI is built, deployed, and sustained in the world’s most demanding operational environments.
