Atomathic, the company once known as Neural Propulsion Systems, is stepping into the spotlight with a bold claim: its new AI platforms can help machines “see the invisible”. With the commercial launch of AIDAR™ and AISIR™, the company says it is opening a new chapter for physical AI, AI sensing and advanced sensor technology across automotive, aviation, defense, robotics and semiconductor manufacturing.

The idea behind these platforms is simple yet ambitious. Machines gather enormous amounts of signal data, yet they still struggle to understand the faint, fast or hidden details that matter most when making decisions. Atomathic says its software closes that gap. By applying AI signal processing directly to raw physical signals, the company aims to help sensors pick up subtle patterns that traditional systems miss, enabling faster reactions and more confident autonomous system performance.

"To realize the promise of physical AI, machines must achieve greater autonomy, precision and real-time decision-making—and Atomathic is defining that future," said Dr. Behrooz Rezvani, Founder and CEO of Atomathic. "We make the invisible visible. Our technology fuses the rigor of mathematics with the power of AI to transform how sensors and machines interact with the world—unlocking capabilities once thought to be theoretical. What can be imagined mathematically can now be realized physically."

This technical shift is powered by Atomathic’s deeper mathematical framework. The core of its approach is a method called hyperdefinition technology, which uses the Atomic Norm and fast computational techniques to map sparse physical signals. In simple terms, it pulls clarity out of chaos. This enables ultra-high-resolution signal visualization in real time—something the company claims has never been achieved at this scale in real-time sensing.

AIDAR and AISIR are already being trialled and integrated across multiple sectors and they’re designed to work with a broad range of hardware. That hardware-agnostic design is poised to matter even more as industries shift toward richer, more detailed sensing. Analysts expect the automotive sensor market to surge in the coming years, with radar imaging, next-gen ADAS systems and high-precision machine perception playing increasingly central roles.

Atomathic’s technology comes from a tight-knit team with deep roots in mathematics, machine intelligence and AI research, drawing talent from institutions such as Caltech, UCLA, Stanford and the Technical University of Munich. After seven years of development, the company is ready to show its progress publicly, starting with demonstrations at CES 2026 in Las Vegas.

Suppose the future of autonomy depends on machines perceiving the world with far greater fidelity. In that case, Atomathic is betting that the next leap forward won’t come from more hardware, but from rethinking the math behind the signal—and redefining what physical AI can do.

TECO Electric & Machinery is expanding further into Southeast Asia’s AI data center infrastructure market through a new acquisition in Malaysia.

The Taiwan-based company has signed an agreement to acquire approximately 78 percent of Malaysian engineering firm Dynaciate Engineering in a deal valued at around MYR 200 million (US$50.8 million). According to TECO, the acquisition is aimed at strengthening its modular data center manufacturing capabilities and supporting its expansion across Southeast Asia’s data center infrastructure sector.

Under the agreement, Dynaciate will become TECO’s global manufacturing hub for modular data center and power equipment products. The company will also serve as an engineering hub supporting TECO’s regional expansion efforts, particularly in AI data center infrastructure projects.

TECO Chairman Morris Li said the integration between both companies has improved execution efficiency and increased the company’s in-house modular prefabrication capabilities. According to the company, the collaboration has reduced data center delivery timelines to as little as six months.

Dynaciate is headquartered in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Its facilities span approximately 36,000 square meters and include eight production buildings focused on stainless steel and carbon steel fabrication. The company said the site is also eligible for export tax incentives that support future global supply chain deployment.

According to TECO, Dynaciate has experience in engineering, steel fabrication and large-scale industrial projects for multinational corporations. The company added that Dynaciate has expanded into the data center engineering market since 2025 through projects involving international cloud service provider clients.

TECO estimates that after the acquisition, around 65 percent of future data center-related revenue will come from modular data centers and prefabricated products, while the remaining 35 percent will come from AI data center engineering projects. The company also forecasts that data center-related revenue within its Power & Energy Business Group will rise from below 10 percent to 30 percent this year.

Dynaciate CEO Ng Kim Thiea said the company is entering a new phase of growth through the partnership with TECO. He added that Dynaciate has extensive experience supporting engineering and industrial projects across the region.

The acquisition marks a further expansion of TECO’s presence in the AI data center infrastructure sector as companies continue increasing investments in modular infrastructure and regional engineering capacity.
