MIPS Actus Platforms

Bringing deterministic intelligence into physical systems

Purpose-built for accurate, real-time performance

MIPS Actus is an event-native real-time MCU platform for robotics, industrial automation, electrification, embedded intelligence, and other systems that must continuously sense, decide, and act. Built on MIPS and ARC expertise in deterministic processing, Actus combines compute, control, software, and development infrastructure to help developers create responsive Physical AI systems.

Built for the Physical AI Future: Smooth, Accurate, Human-like Motion Performance

Deterministic control

Predictable, low-latency event handling for reliable operation

Real-time MCU

Precision control for responsive movement, sensing, safety, and actuation

Vector processing

Math-heavy control workloads, signal processing, and efficient actuator execution

Software-first development

Virtual platforms and digital twins for earlier software development

Accelerating Physical AI Development

Actus is built for systems where timing, responsiveness, and predictable control are as important as compute performance. Its architecture combines real-time processing, signal processing acceleration, control interfaces, software enablement, and safety-oriented capabilities into a unified development platform optimized for physical-world interaction. Actus combines the MIPS M8500 RISC-V CPU with high-resolution PWM, high-speed ADCs, and hardware-accelerated trigonometric functions to reduce end-to-end control-loop latency, enabling deterministic motor control, more precise motion, and safer operation in robotics and industrial systems.

The platform’s software-first foundation helps development teams start earlier and move faster. With virtual platform support, digital twin capabilities, and production oriented hardware targets, developers can evaluate control algorithms, software stacks, and application performance before committing to final hardware implementations.
