About Mantis-Edge

Mantis is a specialised Australian technology venture focused on bio-mimetic sensor intelligence. Operating from our R&D and assembly facility on the NSW Central Coast, we develop advanced edge-AI and machine-vision systems for the world’s most demanding environments.

Mantis-Edge delivers the sub-millisecond visual intelligence required for autonomous machines to see, think, and act in real-time. By bridging the gap between biological efficiency and machine intelligence, we provide a critical layer of situational awareness where speed and reliability are the only metrics that matter.

Founded by the core engineering team behind Haltech Engine Management Systems, Mantis leverages decades of experience in designing ruggedised hardware and high-frequency software for mobile, high-stress, and mission-critical applications.
