The new ARK-SiMa.ai Modalix MLSoC Bundles combine SiMa.ai’s Physical AI platform—centered on the Modalix System-on-Module and the Palette Neat development environment—with ARK Electronics’ manufacturing expertise. By integrating these systems, developers can potentially reduce AI development timelines from months to days, creating a more accessible path for mass-market drone production.

SiMa.ai and ARK Electronics Partner for Autonomous Drone Development
San Jose and Salt Lake City-based companies SiMa.ai and ARK Electronics are launching a joint hardware-software bundle to fast-track the creation of autonomous drones. The partnership aims to provide defense, industrial, and agricultural sectors with a US-manufactured, scalable foundation that prioritizes energy efficiency and rapid deployment cycles.
Durga Peddireddy, VP of Strategic Business Development at SiMa.ai, noted that the collaboration targets the drone industry's current inflection point by merging trusted domestic hardware with high-performance AI compute. Alex Klimaj, CEO of ARK Electronics, emphasized that the solution is designed to offer superior performance per watt while maintaining compatibility with existing industry-standard form factors. This compatibility allows drone OEMs to upgrade their systems without re-engineering entire architectures, effectively lowering the barrier to entry for high-stakes robotics applications.
