Our Technology
Building the world's first self-replicating humanoid robots
We're developing humanoid robots that can build copies of themselves using modular hardware designs and AI planning systems. Our approach focuses on creating robots that can manipulate standard tools, process raw materials, and execute complex assembly sequences autonomously.
Technical Challenges
Self-replicating robots require solving interconnected problems across robotics, AI, and manufacturing:
Dexterous Manipulation
Robots must handle tools and components with precision comparable to human hands, including screwdrivers, 3D printers, and electronic assembly equipment.
Materials Processing
Converting raw materials (metals, polymers, electronics) into functional robot components using available manufacturing tools.
Assembly Planning
AI systems that can decompose complex assembly tasks into hundreds of precise operations while adapting to real-world variations.
Self-Manufacturable Design
Robot architectures specifically designed to be buildable using the robot's own capabilities and available tools.
Our Technical Approach
Hardware Systems
Modular Architecture
Standardized mechanical and electrical interfaces that simplify assembly and enable component reuse across robot generations.
Multi-Modal End Effectors
Hands with force/torque sensing, computer vision, and tool-changing capabilities for handling diverse manufacturing tasks.
Integrated Manufacturing Tools
Built-in 3D printing, basic machining, and electronics assembly capabilities that enable component fabrication.
Quality Control Systems
Sensors and testing protocols to verify component functionality and assembly quality during the replication process.
AI & Software
Task Planning Networks
Neural networks trained to decompose assembly tasks into executable robot actions while handling tool constraints and material properties.
Computer Vision Pipeline
Real-time object detection, pose estimation, and quality assessment for components and assembly progress.
Adaptive Control
Control systems that adjust to variations in materials, tools, and environmental conditions during manufacturing.
Simulation Environment
Physics-based virtual testing where we validate designs and train AI systems before physical implementation.
