Flexible and powerful prototyping platform that allows you to connect up to 3 FFC camera modules that best fit your project requirement in terms of resolution, FPS, FOV, shutter type, and depth of focus.
CPU preserved for robotics logic
Major vision issues during deployment
MUSE set out to solve the realities of modern retail: labor shortages, physical burnout, and the growing need for real-time store data. Armo was designed as a collaborative robot coworker - handling heavy transport and automated shelf scanning so store teams can focus on customer service and high-value operations.
Retail autonomy requires reliable perception in complex, human-first spaces:
MUSE redesigned Armo’s architecture around Luxonis Edge AI. Instead of running high-resolution vision and AI models on the robot’s main PC, Armo offloads intensive perception to the OAK onboard AI chip. This keeps the central computer cool and responsive while Armo continuously runs human/obstacle detection, door recognition, and environmental perception in real time.
Luxonis gave MUSE a stable, scalable vision stack for retail autonomy - turning OAK devices into Armo’s dedicated “visual cortex” while keeping the main PC free for higher-level robotics tasks.
On-device inference offloads intensive perception workloads and preserves system responsiveness.
Modular form factor enables tight, sleek integration into Armo’s chassis without bulky hardware.
Reliable hardware + software ecosystem that worked as advertised during deployment and testing.
Cost-effective scaling from prototypes to larger fleets without breaking unit economics.
With Luxonis Edge AI, MUSE scaled Armo from prototype to fleet-ready retail automation - delivering safe navigation, real-time shelf intelligence, and a better customer experience without sacrificing performance or design.
