What We're Building

Robots have been able to move boxes and weld cars for decades. What's always been expensive is teaching one to do a specific job. That took custom engineering, and it only paid off for work you repeat millions of times identically, like a car assembly line.

Almost no real work looks like that. Most of it is varied, changes often, and happens at too small a scale to justify a purpose-built robot, so it never got automated, even where a robot could physically do the task.

What's changed is the agent. When you can tell a robot what to do the way you'd tell a person, instead of reprogramming it for every task, the cost of putting it to work drops far enough that the rest of that work becomes worth doing.

Asimov

Asimov is our humanoid, and it's already out in the world doing real work. It's about 1.2 m and 35 kg, with 25 powered joints to walk and work with two hands, and the most developer-friendly humanoid out there.

  • Right to repair: Public bill of materials, assembly manual, and docs, so you can understand, repair, and modify the whole robot yourself
  • Sim-to-real: Train policies in simulation with our MuJoCo and URDF models, then run them on the real robot with no extra tuning
  • Built with partners: We work with a growing network of manufacturing and R&D partners worldwide, spreading supply chain risk and growing a global ecosystem
  • Embodiments: Modular and customizable, so Asimov adapts to specific use cases and environments, from bimanual arms to a legged humanoid to a wheeled base

Asimov already ships to customers in 12+ countries.

Jan

Jan is the brain for robots: it puts an AI agent inside a physical body. You tell Jan what you want done instead of programming the robot by hand. It started on the desktop as a private, local alternative to ChatGPT and grew into one of the most widely used open-source AI apps.

  • 6.7M+ downloads: Available on macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows, and Linux
  • Apache 2.0: Fully open, free to run, fork, and self-host
  • Local-first: Models run on your own machine, so your data stays yours
  • Built in public: Developed in the open on GitHub, with the community

Download Jan to try it yourself.

The Long View

We believe dangerous, dirty, and dull work shouldn't fall to people when a robot can do it instead. That's true in a warehouse today, and one day it'll be true in places humans can't easily reach. Long-term, space.
