Serve Robotics has acquired the assets of Phantom Auto and its subsidiary Voysys for approximately $5.75 million, adding ultra-low latency video streaming and teleoperation technology to its autonomous delivery robot fleet. The Swedish company’s technology enables glass-to-glass latency as low as 50 milliseconds, which will help Serve maintain safe operations as it rapidly scales its sidewalk delivery operations in dense urban environments.
What you should know: Voysys brings industry-leading video streaming capabilities that have already been integrated into Serve’s production fleet of hundreds of robots.
• The company’s proprietary bandwidth regulation, advanced video compression, and multi-link redundancy technology sets new benchmarks for autonomous vehicle connectivity.
• Serve’s team has already seen “considerable and immediate improvements in connection quality and latency” that will reduce data infrastructure costs and improve operational metrics.
• Voysys will continue operating as a standalone technology provider while serving Serve’s expanding fleet.
Who else is involved: Voysys will maintain its existing global client relationships while expanding under Serve’s ownership.
• Current clients include a major European commercial vehicle manufacturer, a middle-mile autonomous trucking company, and next-generation robotics company Maniro AI.
• The acquisition complements Serve’s recent purchase of Vayu Robotics, positioning the company at the forefront of autonomous delivery and embodied AI industries.
How it works: Voysys’ technology enables connection to autonomous vehicles, machinery, and robots over heterogeneous networks with ultra-low latency performance.
• The platform’s visualization toolbox allows customers to customize their user experience with 3D, VR, bird’s eye, and other views.
• Founded in 2014, Voysys developed solutions specifically designed for the demanding connectivity requirements of Level 4 autonomy at scale.
In plain English: Ultra-low latency means there’s almost no delay between when something happens to the robot and when a human operator can see it on their screen—like having a nearly instantaneous video call. Level 4 autonomy refers to robots that can operate independently in most situations but may occasionally need human oversight for complex scenarios.
Why this matters: The acquisition strengthens Serve’s position as it scales operations while creating a recurring revenue stream through its Software & Data Services platform.
• Owning core teleoperation capabilities reduces dependence on third-party providers for mission-critical autonomous delivery functions.
• The deal supports the broader autonomous vehicle ecosystem by expanding Voysys’ capabilities across multiple industries beyond delivery robotics.
What they’re saying: Leadership from both companies emphasized the strategic importance of reliable connectivity for autonomous operations.
• “As we rapidly scale our fleet, Voysys technology will be a critical enabler of safe and reliable operations in dense urban environments,” said Dr. Ali Kashani, CEO and co-founder of Serve Robotics.
• “We are excited to bring our technology to Serve’s delivery robots to deliver the unmatched latency and reliable connectivity essential for Level 4 autonomy at scale,” added Torkel Danielsson, Voysys co-founder and CEO.

DOE fusion roadmap targets 2030s commercial deployment as AI drives $9B investment
The Department of Energy has released a new roadmap targeting commercial-scale fusion power deployment by the mid-2030s, though the plan lacks specific funding commitments and relies on scientific breakthroughs that have eluded researchers for decades. The strategy emphasizes public-private partnerships and positions AI as both a research tool and motivation for developing fusion energy to meet data centers' growing electricity demands. The big picture: The DOE's roadmap aims to "deliver the public infrastructure that supports the fusion private sector scale up in the 2030s," but acknowledges it cannot commit to specific funding levels and remains subject to Congressional appropriations.
