Value proposition
Enables robots to handle the unpredictability of real-world industrial environments by learning from internet videos, allowing them to operate beyond controlled laboratory demonstrations without requiring manufacturers to rebuild existing systems.
Products and solutions
["FutureVision (Robotic Intelligence Platform)","Direct Video-Action Model"]
Unique value
Trains foundational models on millions of publicly available internet videos rather than relying on traditional teleoperation or scarce lab data, allowing robots to generalize across varied environments and handle real-world unpredictability.
Target customer
Manufacturers, logistics operators, and industries requiring adaptable robots for real-world environments
Industries served
["Manufacturing","Logistics","Industrial Automation","Humanoid Robotics"]
Technology advantage
Utilizes a 'direct video-action' model based on video-predictive control. The platform is hardware-agnostic, designed to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of existing robotic hardware.
How they differentiate
Trains hardware-agnostic foundational models on millions of internet videos (Direct Video-Action Model) to handle real-world unpredictability, avoiding reliance on teleoperation or scarce lab data.
