VLC Creator Builds Real-Time Robot Control System

Jean-Baptiste Kempf, creator of VLC Media Player with over six billion downloads, is now revolutionizing robotics with Kyber—an ultra-low-latency SDK for real-time control of remote devices. Inspired by Star Wars lightsabers, Kyber syncs video, audio, and sensors with near-zero delay, making it ideal for physical AI. Just secured $5M from Lightspeed (also behind Anthropic and Mistral), Kyber is built for millions of devices at scale—far beyond current systems—and supports AI-driven fleets. Open-source by design, it also offers commercial tiers with dedicated engineering support. Already deployed in defense, telecom, robotics, and AI, Kyber is poised to make robots as ubiquitous as VLC.
