01 / A PHYSICAL PLATFORM FOR AI
A capable body.
An open-ended future.
Start with the essentials: move reliably, perceive the world, hold a conversation and return to charge.
Then add capabilities through a standardized powered module bay. Upgrade the camera, compute or tools while keeping the platform you already know.

02 / EVERYDAY PRESENCE
Built for your world.
See it in motion.
A walk along the sidewalk. A ride to the next floor. Two short concept films explore how V1 could move through familiar places.

THE DESIGN, IN THREE DIMENSIONS
Take a closer look.
From every angle.
Turn the robot around, open up the assembly, and inspect the proposed track stance. Every view comes from one Blender model, with individually modeled wheels, batteries and internal components.
BLENDER STUDIO RENDERRotate, zoom, and look inside
01 / ASSEMBLED
One compact platform.
Solid wheel hubs, a low battery stack and a pan-and-tilt sensor head. Rotate to see the rear caster and service panels.
59.5 cm model height · 27 cm wheel diameter
Download 3D model Modeled in Blender at real scale. A design and packaging study; mechanisms and performance remain engineering targets.
03 / TWO WAYS FORWARD
Wheels when you can.
Tracks when you can’t.
Quiet, efficient wheels for everyday movement. Retractable rubber tracks for a proposed step-by-step stair system. Elevators remain the preferred route when available.

Track deployment study · stair performance unvalidated04 / NATURAL INTELLIGENCE
You don’t operate it.
You talk to it.
Say what you need. A conversational AI interprets your intent and calls on a library of robot skills, grounded in what the robot can see and sense.
ILLUSTRATIVE INTERACTION / FOLLOW
“Follow me and take a picture when we get outside.”
Track the owner → recognize the outdoor transition → invoke the camera skill.
01 / SENSE
Understand the surroundings.
RGB and depth sensing, peripheral obstacle detection and a microphone array provide context.
02 / REASON
Turn intent into skills.
A cloud-connected language model supports richer reasoning, preferences and context in V1.
03 / ACT LOCALLY
Keep safety close.
Navigation, perception and safety controllers run onboard. Safe movement must not depend on a cloud connection.
Additional planned skills: record video, explore / map, patrol, find me and remember object locations.
05 / POWER, GROUNDED
Energy below.
Possibility above.
Two removable battery cartridges sit low between the wheels, keeping mass close to the ground and the upper body available for new capabilities.
Automatic dock charging is a V1 target. Hot swapping is a future capability. Runtime varies with terrain, stairs and module use.

06 / BUILT TO BECOME MORE
The robot you buy
isn’t the robot you keep.
The chassis is the foundation. Independently replaceable modules let the hardware grow with your needs, without replacing the whole robot.

Optional LTE / 5G, with more connectivity options over time.
V1 focuses on mobility, perception, conversation and charging. Arms, cooking assistance, drones and complex manipulation belong to the longer-term roadmap. Autonomous escalator use is outside V1 scope.
07 / ENGINEERED AS A SYSTEM
Every part.
