The Problem
Autonomy programs don’t stall at the sensor layer. They stall at the gap between what the machine sees and what it does next. Integrating perception hardware is solvable. Building a reliable, safety-validated control layer that closes the loop from sensor input to machine action — that’s where most programs fail.
Every scenario below has ended a real autonomy program. Command was built to close that gap.
Cameras and radar generate environmental data continuously. Without an intelligent control layer, that data doesn’t translate into machine behavior. It sits in a buffer while the machine waits for instruction.
A machine that can see obstacles but can’t respond correctly is a liability event. Safe autonomous behavior demands deterministic, real-time control logic — not best-effort software running on a shared processor.
Autonomous machines must handle steering, speed, implement state, and safety responses simultaneously — in real time, under changing field conditions — without an operator making judgment calls.
Most failed autonomy integrations don’t fail at the sensor level. They fail because the control architecture between perception output and vehicle action was never engineered for production loads and real-world edge cases.
Mach Command is the decision and control layer of the Mach autonomy stack. It receives data from every sensor, processes it in real time across dedicated compute cores, and delivers precise instructions to the vehicle — continuously, without interruption, across changing conditions and real-world hazards.
// Dual-processor architecture: High-performance application processor + dedicated real-time MCU. Your autonomy logic and your safety logic don’t share compute.
View Technical Brief →Continuous vehicle guidance without operator input. Command interprets route plans, sensor feedback, and terrain data to keep machines on task — adapting to changing field conditions in real time throughout the mission.
Real-time route generation and re-planning in response to obstacles, terrain changes, and mission updates. The machine doesn’t stop when conditions change —it adapts and continues executing the job.
Direct command of steering, speed, implement state, and auxiliary systems via CAN bus and high-side drive outputs. Command speaks your machine’s language — wired directly into the vehicle control architecture at factory.
A dedicated 480 MHz real-time Cortex M7 MCU handles safety-critical decisions independently of the main application processor. Safety logic isn’t a software layer — it’s a separate compute domain that cannot be blocked by application load.
Job mapping, in-field path planning, implement automation, and command & control flow through Command’s application processor. Load a mission. Command executes it continuously — managing people, obstacles, and real-time hazards without interruption.
Coordinates operator inputs from Mach Pilot, sensor data from Perception and RadX, fleet communications from Nexus, and mission analytics to Ops — all synchronized through a single control intelligence layer at the center of your platform.
