Physical AI, from the lab to the field.
Every venture we co-found draws on the same toolbox: autonomy, perception, robot platforms, and the engineering to build and certify them. Proven outdoors since 2014, available to machine builders as a service, and pushed further in our research.
Physical AI
Machines that perceive, decide and act.
AI that understands the world, built into machines that move through it. We combine our own field-trained software with the best available foundation models, and make them work safely outdoors, in rain, mud and full shifts.
Physical AI
Perception, reasoning and action in one loop, so a machine can handle a task it was not explicitly programmed for.
Robot foundation models
We adapt open vision-language-action models with our field data, so robots learn new tasks with less hand-coding.
Edge AI on board
Running perception and decision models on the machine itself, in real time, without relying on a network connection.
Simulation & digital twins
Train and test robot behaviour in a virtual copy of the site before the first field trial, to cut iterations outdoors.
Autonomy & navigation
Getting from A to B, outdoors, every shift.
Our autonomy stack has been in development since 2014 and runs on ground robots and drones in rough, changing terrain.
Exobotic Navigation
Localisation, path planning and control with GPS, IMU and cameras, for autonomous vehicles in unstructured terrain.
Fleet management & updates
Scheduling routes per shift, monitoring robots remotely and delivering software updates over the air.
Drones & ground stations
Autonomous flight for crop inspection and mapping, including a ground station for automatic take-off and landing.
Perception & machine vision
Seeing clearly in rain, mud and speed.
Cameras, LiDAR and algorithms that let machines recognise plants, obstacles and targets, and measure them accurately.
Machine vision
Detecting diseased plants, measuring growth, quality control and automated picking and sorting.
LiDAR & stereo sensor fusion
Combining LiDAR, stereo cameras and bumpers for obstacle detection and safe operation around people.
Inventory & measurement
QR labelling, mobile measurement and live stock counts, from a single tree to an entire nursery.
Robots & arms
The right body for the job.
We start from our own robot bases, and add arms when the task calls for hands as well as wheels.
Base platforms
Our own robot bases, the starting point for new applications: from idea to field trial in months.
Precision robotics
Targeted actions on a single plant or part: spot spraying, weed treatment, delicate pruning, intricate assembly.
Robot arms & mobile manipulation
Industrial and collaborative arms on mobile bases for picking, pruning, sampling, loading and sorting.
Engineering & production
From first sketch to series production, in one team.
Keeping every discipline in-house means one team answers for the whole machine, on site or remote, with testing at every stage.
Mechanical & electronic design
Chassis, drivetrains, tools, sensor mounts and the electronics that power and connect them.
Control & embedded software
Algorithms and embedded code that turn sensor input into smooth, safe movement.
Manufacturing & assembly
Precision manufacturing, assembly and production, from a single prototype to a first batch.
Field testing & validation
Testing at the customer's site and in endurance runs, like 1,500 repetitions over 5 days at Agribex 2023.
Safety & go-to-market
Not just a robot that works. A product that sells.
The steps most robotics teams underestimate: proving the business case, certifying the machine, and building the company around it.
Safety & CE certification
Risk assessment, safety design and a structured path to CE marking for autonomous machines under the EU Machinery Regulation.
Feasibility & market fit
Feasibility studies, market-fit analysis and user-centred design before anything is built.
Venture building
Pricing, structuring, founder recruitment and fundraising for robotics companies, refined with each launch.
For machine builders
Make your machine autonomous and CE-ready.
From January 2027 the EU Machinery Regulation sets stricter requirements for autonomous and AI-driven machines. We bring the autonomy and the safety case to your machine, so you can sell it without building a robotics department.

Where our core goes next.
Wherever a machine has to work on its own, far from help, the core problems are the same: perceive, decide, act safely. Through Horizon Europe, ITEA and our own R&D, we test our core on new bodies and in new environments. Today's research is where tomorrow's ventures start.
