Today's Industrial Robots Repeat

We're teaching them to adapt

We're a small, multidisciplinary team with backgrounds in advanced robotics and AI.

We work from first principles, grounded in the realities of factories and skilled labor, tackling one of the final unsolved challenges in automation.

Our mission is to make human skill learnable by machines.

The Manufacturing Foundation Model (MFM) — a system built to understand and reproduce skilled industrial work — is our single focus and roadmap.

We believe this capability can unlock a new era of robotics, where machines don't just automate the repeatable, but continue where human expertise is required… and where the world's disappearing know-how gains a future instead of an expiration date.

Will You Thrive Here?

You'll Love It Here If:

  • ✓You'd rather own 1% of a revolution than 0.001% of an evolution
  • ✓You've built tools in your spare time because you couldn't help yourself
  • ✓You want to craft something lasting, not fleeting
  • ✓You're obsessed with pushing boundaries

You'll Likely Thrive Elsewhere If:

  • ×You prefer well-defined roadmaps over navigating ambiguity
  • ×You think ChatGPT is creative enough
  • ×You're looking for work-life balance
  • ×You're optimizing for resume credentials over impact
