WHY IT S HARD TODAY

Why embedded vision AI feels harder than it should be

Energy constraints, integration complexity, and fragile setups turn embedded computer vision into a constant source of friction for autonomous systems.

Discuss your use case

AI eats into battery life

Vision AI works, but at the cost of autonomy. Systems spend more time charging than operating.

AI hardware requires specialized expertise

Programming specialized AI hardware is often painful, and requires to specific expertise in your team. No matter how powerful and versatile is the chip if you cannot use it to it's full potential.

AI hardware integration feels too heavy

Integration is made difficult by the use of various specific communication protocols.

How it fits

Effortless endurance

We are entering a new age of autonomy. Devices that need to do more, understand more, and adapt more - without demanding more power, complexity, or attention. Device Duration is the critical new metric.

Durance enables AI that’s awake when needed, asleep when not. Active when and where it matters.

Efficient by design. Seamless by default. By extending how long autonomous devices can perceive, decide and act within real-world constraints, we enable technology that remains continuously attuned to its surroundings. Devices don’t just last longer - they behave better. Autonomy stays smart in the real world - for longer.

Our technology is designed to remove friction from real-world AI development. Integration is straightforward. Tooling is intuitive. Performance is predictable. Developers can focus on delivering better behaviour and richer experiences. Products that are easier to ship, easier to trust in the field. Durance makes it easy to deploy intelligence that lasts.

We make endurance effortless. For developers. For devices. For day-to-day deployment.

Trusted already

Validated by leading industrial and technology partners

Durance technology is already trusted by major industrial players exploring next-generation autonomous systems.

Durance works closely with established industrial and technology leaders to develop and validate its neuromorphic vision processor in real-world conditions. These collaborations are not marketing showcases, but concrete technical partnerships focused on demonstrators, integration, and system-level performance.

Being trusted at this stage confirms the maturity of our technology and its relevance for demanding industrial environments where reliability, efficiency, and long-term viability truly matter.

Who we are

Built from research, focused on the real world

Durance is a French deeptech startup turning years of neuromorphic research into deployable industrial technology.

Durance was founded in June 2025 as a spin-off from the LEAT laboratory, bringing more than a decade of public research into neuromorphic computing and embedded vision into the industrial world. The company builds on work conducted within CNRS and Université Côte d’Azur, with a clear objective: make advanced AI hardware usable in real systems.

Our team combines researchers and engineers with deep expertise in neuromorphic architectures, embedded systems, and computer vision. We focus on one thing only : computer vision in autonomous systems, making vision AI efficient, stable, and easy to integrate so it can quietly do its job in the background of autonomous systems.
