Summary

About

About Hailo

Founded in 2017, Hailo is a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Tel Aviv. It develops neural-processing hardware, software toolchains and deployable modules for computer vision and generative or multimodal workloads at the edge. The portfolio spans accelerator chips and standard form-factor modules that system designers can integrate into existing compute architectures.

The company has direct physical-AI exposure through named deployments rather than generic AI positioning. Hailo processors have been integrated into Bluewhite autonomous agricultural systems, Husqvarna robotic mowers, Limelight robot controllers and drone compute boards. These examples show repeatable use across vehicle classes, but they do not disclose customer unit volumes or Hailo revenue by robotics vertical. Korthos therefore tracks Hailo as an enabling compute supplier, not as the developer of the downstream machines or their full autonomy stacks.

Timeline

Events

  • 2026-09-21 - Acquisition - Microchip completes acquisition of Hailo

    The closing is a separate milestone from the definitive acquisition agreement announced on July 24, 2026. Microchip said transaction terms were not disclosed and the acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on its financial results. Hailo brings more than 100 customers and a developer community exceeding 10,000 users; Microchip plans to continue supporting Hailo’s products, software environment and customer engagements.

  • 2026-01-15 - Product Launch - Raspberry Pi launches AI HAT+ 2 for local generative AI

    The AI HAT+ 2 uses Hailo's Hailo-10H accelerator and 8 GB of dedicated LPDDR4X memory to deliver up to 40 TOPS INT4 on Raspberry Pi 5. Raspberry Pi positioned the board for local LLM, VLM, vision and voice workloads without cloud connectivity, with launch support for multiple small language models.

  • 2025-12-18 - Capability - Husqvarna Automower integrates Hailo-8 edge AI

    Hailo-8 runs AI inference directly on the mower. The integration supports real-time obstacle detection and navigation without cloud dependence. The disclosed deployment covers Husqvarna’s 430X NERA and 450X NERA models and targets continuous operation across large, challenging outdoor environments.

  • 2025-01-09 - Product Launch - Limelight Vision launches Limelight 4 with optional Hailo acceleration

    Limelight 4 combines global-shutter and colour cameras with an integrated IMU for robot localization and vision workflows. A separately purchased Hailo-8 or Hailo-8L module can add accelerated neural object detection; the accelerator is supported but is not included in the base unit. The platform supports object detection, segmentation and 3D robot localization through Limelight’s low-code and zero-code software workflows.

  • 2024-04-02 - Funding - Hailo extends Series C with $120 million round

    The additional $120 million extended Hailo’s Series C and took disclosed funding above $340 million. Hailo-10 was rated at up to 40 TOPS and under 5 W, with cited performance of up to 10 tokens per second for Llama2-7B and under five seconds per Stable Diffusion 2.1 image. Hailo said Hailo-10 uses the software suite shared with Hailo-8 and Hailo-15 and planned sample shipments for the second quarter of 2024.
