Humanoid Robotics — Interaction Layer
The field has spent decades teaching machines to understand people. We are working on the other half of that problem — giving people a way to understand the machines beside them. Details to follow.
01 — Legibility
A robot that acts without being read is a robot that cannot be trusted. We are building the layer that makes machine intent legible — moment to moment, in real environments, to ordinary people.
02 — Symmetry
Current research is consumed with one direction of the relationship. We are focused on the other — and on what becomes possible when both sides of the exchange are finally considered.
03 — Proximity
Humanoid robots will share our spaces long before the world is ready. The missing infrastructure is not mechanical. It is the interface between their presence and ours.
The robotics field has made extraordinary progress teaching machines to perceive, move, and respond. What it has not solved — and what almost no one is working on — is how a person standing next to one of these machines understands what it is about to do. That is the problem we are here to solve.

Robots are coming.
Readability is not.
We're changing that.
