How Lantronix Is Closing the Compute Gap for Autonomous Drones and Robots

Lantronix's new Spotter board aims to make AI-capable autonomy affordable and scalable for mass-produced military drones and robots.

• Spotter launches at AUSA 2026: Lantronix unveiled its Spotter embedded computing board two days before the interview, targeting drones, ground robots and maritime autonomous platforms.
• Compute gap thesis: CEO Saleel Awsare says OEMs previously had to choose between low-cost boards like Raspberry Pi (can't run AI) or expensive, power-hungry NVIDIA/AMD GPUs.
