# vaos portable runtime

Vision-native runtime. In your pocket.

A pocket-sized VAOS runtime that boots from USB-C and turns any host machine into a cognition node. Bring your own camera. Drop into any site. Validate, reason, act.

Portable hardware. The same runtime that ships into production OEM modules — packaged for development, evaluation, and field deployment.

# use cases

Five ways to deploy

🛠️

Developer Kit

Build and test VAOS apps locally. Boot from USB on any laptop or workstation.

🤖

Robotics

Add a cognition runtime to existing robots — perception, reasoning, validation, action.

📦

OEM Evaluation

Evaluate VAOS against your camera modules without committing to custom hardware.

🌍

Portable Edge AI

Deploy local reasoning anywhere — field sites, vehicles, temporary installations.

📡

Live Streaming / RTSP

Real-time cognitive overlays on existing RTSP/WebRTC feeds. Pair, plug, stream.

# runtime editions

One runtime, five editions

Same kernel, different targets. Pick by capability — not vendor lock-in.

Edition	Target	Best for
VAOS Lite	Entry runtime	Lightweight, low-resource sites
VAOS Developer	SDK / testing	Build, debug, iterate locally
VAOS Stream	RTSP / live overlays	Real-time cognitive feeds
VAOS Edge	Robotics / OEM	Production edge deployments
VAOS Distributed	Federated / cloud-assisted	Multi-node cognition networks

# hardware compatibility

Hardware-neutral by design

Not locked to CUDA. Not locked to cloud. Not locked to one vendor.

✔

RK3588

Rockchip — first-class NPU integration, hardware-accelerated ISP.

✔

Jetson

NVIDIA Orin Nano, Orin NX, AGX. CUDA-accelerated SceneLM variants.

✔

Raspberry Pi

Pi 5 + Hailo, Pi 4 baseline. Lite edition runs comfortably.

✔

x86

Intel / AMD with or without discrete GPU. Developer edition default.

✔

USB cameras

UVC-class webcams, USB3 industrial. Standard pipeline.

✔

RTSP streams

Pull from any IP camera or stream. RTMP/WebRTC adapters available.

⊕

Future NPU modules

Hailo, Kinara, Cambricon, Axelera. Plugin-based silicon support.

# runtime observability

Status you can read

Every Portable Runtime ships with a live status surface — pair from desktop, mobile, or browser.

Runtime Status

# future

Runtime evolution roadmap

🔁

RTOS bridge

Bridge VAOS into real-time control loops for high-determinism robotics.

📷

Multi-camera fusion

Synchronised perception across stereo + wide + thermal + depth in one runtime.

🎯

Predictive cognition

SceneLM-predictive variant — proactive intervention from forward modelling.

🎛️

Sensor-aware adaptation

Runtime auto-tunes ISP, exposure, and inference weights per stream condition.

🌐

Distributed VAOS nodes

Multiple portable runtimes federated into a single site cognition network.
