What is Project Marika?

Project Marika

We are in a changing age of intelligence. Thanks to generative AI, the physically intelligent world is unleashed. IoT devices, sensors, robotics, drones, autonomous vehicles and more can unleash a new age of prosperity.

Simplifying Edge Development

Mobile-like Development for Edge Devices

With Marika, developers can easily deploy their code to the devices of the physically intelligent world and usher in a new age of technology.

We're seeing a massive resurgence in developers creating physical intelligent edge devices: whether it's a cutting humanoid robot or an autonomous lock for dams. However, developing for the edge is mired with a horrendous developer, deployment and communication experience.

  • Simplified Development. Today's edge development process is complex and time-consuming. Marika brings the convention and productivity of mobile app development to the world of the edge.
  • First-class Swift Support. Marika brings Swift as its first-class citizen, along with a cross-platform set of packages and frameworks.
  • Production Ready. An operating system designed for both development environments and battle-tested production deployments.

Mobile-like Simplicity

If we compare this with today's mobile device development, we don't see that problem. A mobile phone is no different than another edge device. For example, to build an iOS app, a developer only needs to plug-in a phone, code in Swift, and press Cmd+R to run and see his creation. Marika brings this same simplicity to edge development.

“Convention over configuration is about taking the guess work out of development and letting you focus on what's different about your application rather than what's the same.”
