KadCore gives your quadruped robot real-time control, voice, vision, and hardware-safe servo power — one platform engineered from the ground up for legged machines.
Every controller on the market is either a general-purpose MCU board or a full Linux SBC. KadCore is purpose-built — real-time where it must be, connected where it should be, and safe by hardware design.
Servo power rail is physically isolated from control electronics. A dedicated hardware circuit cuts all servo power instantly — regardless of firmware state. No software bug can leave your robot uncontrolled.
Safety by designAn ultra-low-power wake-word processor listens always-on at minimal draw. Once triggered, a full mic array activates for command recognition — no always-hot processor burning battery.
Efficient by architectureReal-time gait control never competes with WiFi, camera, or display processing. Two processors with dedicated roles means predictable motion latency and full connectivity bandwidth — simultaneously.
No scheduling conflictsKadCore is engineered as a long-term platform — modular by design, with room to expand capability as your project and the robotics ecosystem evolve. Same connectors, same footprint, forward-compatible software.
Future-proof platformKadCore separates every concern cleanly — perception from processing from actuation. Each domain operates independently, communicates precisely, and fails safely.
KadCore ships in two configurations. Start with Core and expand as your project grows — same platform, more capability.
Full documentation — hardware setup, firmware flashing, ROS2 integration, and API reference — ships with KadCore. Early access for university and research lab partners.
Request Early AccessWe take on embedded engineering engagements as a technical partner — one team, full ownership from hardware to firmware, led by a former Apple engineer with 20+ years of experience and backed by 10+ embedded and robotics specialists who are genuinely passionate about the craft.
Motor control, power management, real-time MCUs. Schematic through layout to production-ready Gerbers, BOM, and DFM review.
Real-time OS, wireless stacks, ROS2 integration. Low-level HAL drivers through application layer — tested, documented, maintainable.
Gait control, sensor fusion, Nav2, perception pipelines. Bring your concept — we build the complete system from controller to autonomy layer.
We don't take embedded projects to fill a calendar. Embedded systems are what we build for ourselves — KadCore exists because we set out to solve a hard problem in robotics. When you engage us, that same standard comes with it.
Every engagement begins with an honest technical conversation — no sales deck, no commitment. We'll tell you plainly what we think your options are, and whether we're the right partner to build it.
Kadavi works with a global network of embedded and robotics engineering partners to deliver on engagements of any scope and scale — so the right expertise is always available for your project.
Simulation platforms, software toolchains, and robotics integrators working with legged platforms are welcome to explore technical partnerships with Kadavi.
