We instrument the physical world.
Edgesight is a research company building ideas and experiments for measuring the physical world — sensor nodes, edge inference, and unmanned aircraft that turn raw signal into patterns our clients can act on.
What we do
We're a research company that offers ideas and experiments for measuring the physical world. Our work spans IoT sensors, edge computing, and unmanned aircraft — built to identify patterns that answer real business questions, for clients whose problems live outside a browser window.
Four disciplines, one loop
Sense the physical world, compute at the edge, learn from what changes over time, and build the hardware to hold it all together.
Sensing & remote acquisition
We measure energy across the spectrum — thermal, optical, and acoustic. Field rigs draw on Sony CMOS imaging, TDK InvenSense MEMS microphones arranged for 3D acoustic beamforming, Texas Instruments photodiodes, and Pyreos pyroelectric sensors, alongside LiDAR and thermography from our aircraft.
Edge compute & firmware
Sensor nodes run their own intelligence. We write ESP32 and MCU firmware for field-deployed sensors, and pair Google Coral TPUs and Nvidia Jetson edge GPUs with Raspberry Pi carriers for inference where power and connectivity are both scarce.
Models & edge AI
Convolutional networks classify imagery and acoustic signatures; LSTMs track how a sensor's readings evolve over time; large language models turn raw telemetry into a report a client can actually use. All of it is built to run at the edge, close to the sensor, not just in the cloud.
Fabrication & hardware
Every sensor node needs a body and a board. We prototype enclosures and mounts with 3D printing, design the PCBs that hold the sensors and MCUs together, and lean on additive manufacturing and EMS partners to carry a working prototype into something deployable.
What we've shipped
The capabilities above aren't just a menu — they're the pipeline behind four fielded systems.
Listens for the acoustic signature of catalytic converter and copper-pipe cutting and dispatches an alert before the cut finishes — acoustic classification running close to the microphone, not in a distant cloud.

In-field deploymentRadar-based shot-speed and release detection paired with GPU-accelerated signal processing at the edge. The same sensing-and-inference pipeline is the foundation for our work extending toward AI-enhanced robotics.
Active R&DSensing, edge compute, and edge AI come together in robotic systems — arms and mobile platforms that inspect welds, seams, and finished assemblies for defects, and that carry out physical assembly steps guided by machine vision rather than a fixed program.
Active R&DAircraft
Research and innovation are our core capability — these are the platforms we fly to get there.
Our workhorse for thermography and LiDAR measurement, carrying the H20T and L1 payloads for high-resolution thermal and point-cloud capture.
4K visual imagery for object detection and tracking, where a lighter platform gets us closer to the subject.
How we work is just as important as what we build
Integrity is our guiding principle. At our core we're educators, focused on sharing our creative ingenuity through respectful collaboration and adaptive communication with our clients.
We've benefited immensely from open-source technology, and we offer our clients clear transparency alongside respectful confidentiality. We believe in real economic value — our projects are structured solely as the time we invest collaborating on and testing a proof of concept.
Where research becomes a minimal viable product
We believe in the power of technology as a tool to open minds and enlighten others, and we lean on trusted partners to get proof-of-concept work the rest of the way.
“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” — L. Wittgenstein
Our additive manufacturing and EMS service partners let us take a proof-of-concept and turn it into a minimum viable product that scales — for local municipalities, small businesses, and large corporations alike.
