Embedded IoT, Autonomous Systems, In-Vehicle Infotainment & Secure Connected Platforms
IAST designs and delivers production-grade IoT solutions. From secure wireless access systems and sensor-rich autonomous platforms to in-vehicle infotainment systems. Built on proven hardware platforms, real-time embedded software, and robust communication protocols.
Three production-proven IoT solution areas — from secure wireless access to autonomous perception platforms and in-vehicle infotainment — each engineered with precision hardware and intelligent embedded software.
Key Fob Entry System
IAST engineers secure wireless key fob entry solutions for automotive and access-control applications. Our implementations encompass low-power RF communication, challenge-response authentication, and seamless integration with body control modules (BCMs) — delivering reliable, secure, and low-latency keyless entry experiences.
Autonomous Driver Bot
IAST has built an autonomous driver bot platform integrating a rich sensor stack — IMU, GNSS/GPS, NVIDIA SoCs, Radar, Camera, and 2D LiDAR — to enable real-time perception, localization, and decision-making for autonomous navigation and driver assistance applications.
In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) System
IAST develops In-Vehicle Infotainment systems on Texas Instruments (TI) hardware, delivering high-performance multimedia, connectivity, and HMI frameworks for automotive cockpit domains. Our IVI stacks are built for scalability, safety integration, and OEM configurability.
The IAST Autonomous Driver Bot integrates six complementary sensor modalities fused with high-performance compute to achieve robust real-time perception, localization, and path planning in complex environments.
IMU Sensors
Inertial Measurement Units provide 6-DOF motion data — accelerometer and gyroscope — enabling dead-reckoning, attitude estimation, and vibration-aware navigation when GPS signals are unreliable or unavailable.
GNSS / GPS
Global Navigation Satellite System receivers deliver centimetre-to-metre level absolute positioning and velocity data, forming the backbone of global localization and long-range route planning for the autonomous platform.
NVIDIA Processors
NVIDIA Jetson-class SoCs provide GPU-accelerated compute for deep learning inference, real-time sensor fusion, object detection, and autonomous decision pipelines — all within an embedded, power-efficient form factor.
Radar Sensor
Millimetre-wave radar provides velocity and distance measurements in adverse weather and low-visibility conditions. Used for adaptive cruise control, obstacle detection, and complementary to camera and LiDAR perception layers.
Camera Sensor
High-resolution cameras feed colour and texture data into the vision pipeline for lane detection, traffic sign recognition, object classification, and depth estimation via stereo or mono-camera algorithms.
LiDAR — 2D Sensor
2D LiDAR provides a high-accuracy planar point cloud for close-range obstacle mapping, occupancy grid generation, and simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) — critical for safe navigation in structured indoor and outdoor environments.
Sensor Fusion Architecture
All sensor modalities are fused using an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and deep-learning-based perception pipeline running on the NVIDIA compute platform — producing a unified, low-latency environment model used by the autonomous navigation and control stack.
IAST builds full-stack IVI solutions on TI SoC platforms, integrating multimedia frameworks, connectivity stacks, and automotive-grade HMI — tailored for OEM cockpit domain controllers.
TI Hardware Platform
Built on Texas Instruments automotive SoCs (TDA / Jacinto series), providing heterogeneous compute with ARM Cortex cores, DSPs, and hardware accelerators purpose-built for automotive multimedia and vision workloads.
HMI & Display Framework
Custom HMI development with Qt/QML or Android Automotive OS overlays — delivering fluid, responsive touch interfaces, multi-display cluster support, and pixel-perfect OEM branding.
Connectivity Stack
Integration of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB, and automotive Ethernet into the IVI stack — supporting Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and OTA update capability for field-deployed vehicles.
Multimedia & Audio
Full multimedia pipeline — video decode/encode, audio routing, and surround sound management — integrated with TI's hardware video accelerators for smooth 4K playback and low-latency camera preview.
Our end-to-end delivery process ensures robust, production-grade IoT solutions — from requirements to deployment — with rigorous validation at every stage.
Requirements & Feasibility
Understand use-case, define functional and non-functional requirements, assess hardware constraints, and establish sensor/compute selection criteria.
Hardware & Platform Selection
Select and validate the appropriate SoC, sensor suite, and communication modules — including NVIDIA Jetson, TI automotive SoCs, or custom embedded platforms.
Embedded Software Development
Develop firmware, BSPs, RTOS/Linux drivers, sensor fusion algorithms, and application-layer stacks using rigorous software engineering practices.
Integration & Sensor Fusion
Integrate all sensor and compute subsystems, implement fusion pipelines (EKF, DNN), and validate end-to-end data flow, latency, and accuracy in lab environments.
Validation & Testing
Execute HIL/SIL testing, field trials, RF compliance testing, and functional safety assessments to verify system performance against defined KPIs before production release.
Deployment & Support
Support production bring-up, OTA update pipelines, remote diagnostics, and continuous improvement programs to keep deployed IoT systems performant and secure.
