Where Overtone is headed
What ships today, what we're building next, and where we're taking machine hearing after that.
Available now
Shipping in every Overtone module today.
360° sound localization
Direction and distance for every sound source around the robot.
Speech and voice commands
Wake words, commands, and speaker separation, recognized on the module.
Acoustic event detection
Alarms, breaking glass, mechanical faults, and other sounds that matter.
Self-contained compute
All processing happens on the module, with zero load on your robot's CPU or GPU.
ROS 2 integration
Native ROS 2 support with SDKs for Python and C++.
Next up
What we're building now.
Shared clock
Hardware-level time sync between Overtone and your robot, so every audio event lines up exactly with camera, lidar, IMU, and servo data.
Exploring
Ideas we're researching with early partners.
Multi-module arrays
Link several Overtone modules into one array for large robots and facilities.
Over-the-air model updates
Push new acoustic models to modules in the field without touching the robot.
Help shape what's next
Tell us what your robots need to hear, and we'll factor it into the roadmap.
