Last week we had the chance to showcase our prototype TEMAS at KI Palooza – an AI-focused conference in Germany.
We’re a young company working at the intersection of robotics and computer vision, and this was the first time we presented TEMAS to a larger audience.
What is TEMAS?
TEMAS is a modular 3D sensor platform that combines:
- RGB camera
- LiDAR
- ToF (Time of Flight) sensor
All sensors are pre-calibrated and synchronized so developers get reliable, aligned data right out of the box.
Powered by a Raspberry Pi 5 (PoE, optional AI accelerator), TEMAS delivers:
- Colorized 3D point clouds
- Easy integration via Python SDK on PyPI (
pip install rubu)
Why synchronization matters
Anyone who has tried to integrate multiple sensors knows:
- Different frame rates create time misalignments
- Calibration between depth and RGB can take weeks
- Data streams don’t just “fit” together
This was one of our biggest challenges.
Our solution:
- Factory pre-calibration for sensor alignment
- Raspberry Pi 5 acting as a central sync unit
- Unified data stream → a single, aligned point cloud
This saves labs and developers a huge amount of time.
Road to Kickstarter
After KI Palooza, we’re now officially on the Road
to Kickstarter: from Pre-Launch to Launch.
And this is where we’d love your support:
- Feedback on use cases where you’d see TEMAS being most useful
- Ideas for reward tiers that would make sense for devs/researchers
- Tips from anyone who has been through a hardware Kickstarter before
Closing thoughts
We’re excited to share more of our journey here on DEV.
As a young company, this community means a lot to us – honest feedback from developers is exactly what we need to improve TEMAS and make the launch successful.
*From KI Palooza → to Kickstarter * – thanks for being part of the journey!
(More technical deep-dives coming soon – e.g. streaming point clouds and integrating with robotics.)
