Problem
Robots that don’t fit the job
- Enterprises need safe, predictable robots for confined, repeatable work.
- Today’s options: risky “general” autonomy or expensive one‑off custom builds.
- Result: stalled pilots, compliance worries, and weak unit economics.
03
Solution
Canonical core for captive robots
- ROS‑2‑native RaaS platform for bounded‑intelligence, “captive” machines.
- Each robot is locked to a single role and envelope—no open‑ended behavior.
- Partners adapt the core to domains; shared features and data improve the platform.
04
Product
Bipartite captive robotics stack
- Canonical Core: Control stack, safety layer, sim worlds, RL.
- Domain Templates: Ag, facilities, inspection, construction roles.
- RaaS: Subscription + per‑robot fees for captive deployments.
05
Traction
Early captive validation
- Design‑partner discussions in agriculture and light industrial facilities.
- First captive roles defined: field patrol and indoor inspection helpers.
- Simulation demos of bounded, zone‑limited behavior and safety stops.
