Mach  /  Perception

Your machines
need to see.
Not sometimes. Always.

Mach Perception is a rugged HDR stereo vision platform built for autonomous off-highway machines. It gives your platform reliable environmental awareness — in the dust, glare, vibration, and GPS-denied terrain that end most autonomous programs.

The Problem

Autonomy fails when machines can't see reliably.

Most autonomous programs don't fail because of software. They fail because the perception hardware wasn't built for the environment. Standard stereo cameras perform well in lab conditions. Off-highway machines don't operate in labs.

Every condition below has ended a real autonomous program. Perception was designed to keep running through all of them.

Dust & Particulate

Construction sites, agricultural fields, and mining haul roads generate enough airborne debris to blind standard cameras within minutes..

Glare & Deep Shadow

A machine moving from shade into direct sun, or working at dawn and dusk, overwhelms standard cameras with ~60 dB dynamic range..

Vibration & Shock

Off-highway machines transmit continuous shock loads that cause calibration drift in sensors not rated to MIL-STD-810 standards..

GPS-Denied Terrain

Orchards, forests, underground facilities, and dense urban environments degrade or eliminate satellite positioning — machine must navigate on its own..

The Solution

Built for the
conditions that
matter most.

Perception is a complete, integrated stereo vision compute platform — not a camera module that needs a separate box. The sensor, compute, and AI runtime ship as a single ruggedized unit your engineering team can mount and integrate through CAN or Ethernet.

What It Enables

Four capabilities your autonomy program needs.

01

Detect Every
Obstacle

Detect and classify obstacles in real time — people, vehicles, equipment, and terrain features — even in dust, backlit scenes, or mixed lighting that defeats standard cameras. 120 dB HDR means your machine sees the obstacle in the shadow and the bright sky above it in a single frame.

02

Position Without Satellites

Visual odometry, visual localization, and row following give your machine accurate positioning when satellite signals are gone. Proven in dense orchard canopy and underground environments where RTK drops out entirely.

03

Run AI On the Machine

40 TOPS of onboard AI compute runs your perception models locally — no cloud dependency, no cellular latency in the safety loop. The machine stops for the person standing in its path whether it has signal or not.

Integrate Every Modality

Stereo vision alone isn't enough in every environment. Perception is designed to integrate with Mach RadX radar — adding through-dust and through-rain detection where cameras reach their limits. One platform, every modality.

In the Field

Production deployments.
Real conditions.

Mach perception technology runs in production on autonomous vehicles today — not pilots, not demos. These are operating deployments in the environments that matter.

Agriculture · Orchard Autonomy
GUSS Technology

GUSS autonomous orchard sprayers run complete operations under full tree canopy — dense coverage that degrades GPS to the point of uselessness. Mach perception handles obstacle detection, row following, and visual localization, keeping the machine on path and the nozzles on target without satellite positioning.

Construction · Grade Autonomy
Autonomous Fleet Operations

Autonomous grading and compaction equipment operating on active construction sites — heavy dust loads, mixed lighting, and personnel proximity that demands real-time obstacle classification. Mach perception runs continuous detection across shift cycles, in conditions where cameras without 120 dB HDR lose the operator in the shadow of the machine.

Every spec earned in the field,
not the lab.

Every number below exists because off-highway autonomy demanded it — not because it was the easiest spec to hit.

120dB

HDR Dynamic Range

2× the range of a standard stereo camera. Shadow detail and highlight detail in a single frame — simultaneously.

40TOPS

Onboard AI Compute

NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano. Enough headroom to run Mach perception models and leave capacity for your custom networks.

IP67

Ingress Protection

Dust-tight. 30 minutes at 1 meter submersion. MIL-STD-810 vibration and shock. Deployed in real machines, not labs.

Fits your existing machine architecture

CAN bus + 100/1000Base-TX Gigabit Ethernet. 9–32 VDC input, 3 A max. Integrates directly with Mach Command, Nexus, and RadX — or your own control architecture.

OEM Integration

One layer in a complete autonomy stack.

Perception is designed to plug into Mach's full autonomy platform — or to integrate into your existing architecture. You don't need to adopt the whole stack to use the best perception hardware.

Works standalone

CAN + Ethernet output. Mount it, power it, receive detections. No other Mach hardware required.

No vendor lock-in. Your models, your stack.

Open neural network architecture — deploy Mach's pre-trained detection and localization models, or bring your own. Perception runs on the edge. No cloud subscription required for the safety loop.

Scales to full stack

Combine with Mach Command, Nexus, RadX, and Ops Cloud when you're ready for a complete autonomy platform.

Two form factors

Horizontal and vertical mount options to fit your machine's envelope and cable routing.
