Affordable Physical AI
for real-world automation
Low-cost robotic workcells for coffee service, 3D-printer tending, and SME automation.
- Ukrainian Deep-Tech
- Prototype tested
- ~€3k BOM target
- Coffee workcell beachhead
- SME automation platform
The Problem
Routine work is too expensive to automate
Small businesses need automation but can't afford the traditional approach
Industrial robots cost too much
Integration, programming, and safety systems make automation prohibitive for SMEs.
Labor shortage is real
Restaurants, factories, and print farms struggle to hire for repetitive tasks.
Current robots are rigid
Changing a workflow means new integration work and more cost.
The Solution
Low-cost robotics that learns by demonstration
Show the robot what to do once. It learns the motion, adapts to variations, and works autonomously. No programming required.
Human guides the robot arm through a task trajectory. The system learns and reproduces the motion.
Affordable hardware
6-DOF arm with 3D-printed parts and modular joints. No expensive industrial components.
Learn by showing
Guide the robot through a task by hand. It records, refines, and repeats autonomously.
Vision-enabled
Camera perception for task verification, object detection, and safety monitoring.
Complete workcell
Enclosed cell with HMI touchscreen, telemetry, and all workflow tooling included.
One platform. Multiple applications.
First validation
Coffee robot
Autonomous drink preparation for restaurants and high-traffic locations.
Next vertical
Printer farm tending
Part removal, sorting, and operator assistance for 3D-printer farms.
Platform play
SME automation
Sorting, handling, inspection, and packaging for small manufacturers.
“Coffee is the beachhead. The platform is the business.”
