About Ubitium
Ubitium uses a programmable array to perform sensing, AI inference and real-time machine control on the same processor architecture. Computing resources are allocated at runtime, rather than assigning each workload to a separate fixed-function chip. Unified memory and standard RISC-V tools are intended to simplify development and reduce transfers between processors in embedded systems.
The German company has working UB108 engineering silicon with 256 processing elements, fabricated on Samsung’s 8nm process. Its planned UB410 commercial processor increases that array to 4,096 elements, with evaluation units scheduled for 2027. Initial customer applications focus on radar and audio processing, while autonomous machines are the wider target. Ubitium is headquartered in Düsseldorf, with research and engineering offices in Rülzheim and Karlsruhe.

Events
- 2026-10-13 - Funding - Ubitium raises $14M seed financing for physical-AI processors
OpenOcean, KBC Focus Fund, Runa Capital, Inflection and personal investor Florian Seibel participated. The company has working UB108 engineering silicon combining signal processing, AI inference and real-time control. Its first commercial UB410 processor and customer evaluation units are planned for 2027.
Source - 2026-07-16 - Production Milestone - Ubitium receives first engineering silicon
The first chip serves as a technology proof for the reconfigurable architecture. A second chip was already in development for productization and subsequent customer evaluation.
Source - 2026-04-27 - Capability - Ubitium runs Linux directly on its reconfigurable processor prototype
The prototype remained RISC-V compatible and used existing compilers and software tools. The demonstration preceded engineering samples from Samsung Foundry’s 8nm process.
