Ex-Apple engineers launch startup to improve robots' vision
Los Angeles Times
|January 07, 2026
Top members of the team behind Apple Inc.'s Face ID are launching a startup to develop technology to help robots see better and move more safely in the world around them.
Lyte
LYTE technology aims to enable robots to move more safely in the physical world.
The company, Lyte, emerged from stealth on Monday after raising about $107 million to date from investors including Fidelity Management & Research, Atreides Management, Exor Ventures, Keyl Capital, VentureTech Alliance and a group of private investors led by the Israeli entrepreneur Avigdor Willenz.
Mountain View, Calif.-based Lyte was founded in 2021 by three former Apple employees — Alexander Shpunt, Arman Hajati and Yuval Gerson — who played a major role in building the depth-sensing and perception technology that Face ID uses to capture faces. Earlier, Shpunt co-founded and served as chief technology officer of the 3-D-sensing technology provider PrimeSense, which was acquired by Apple in 2013 for $350 million and was the genesis for what would become Face ID. Gerson also worked at PrimeSense before the Apple takeover.
