  • FFMs are purpose-built for robotics, operating on-edge without cloud dependency.

Technical approach

As reported
Physics-first design

Models built for robotics, not adapted from vision/language

FFMs are architected for robotic tasks rather than adapted from language or vision models, handling physics constraints and uncertainty natively.

Belief World Model

Risk-aware reasoning under uncertainty

The BWM predicts what robots should expect, enabling them to adapt when reality differs from expectations.

On-edge operation

No cloud dependency

EDGE operates entirely locally without cloud connectivity, enabling GPS-denied and unmapped terrain deployment.

Universal platform

One brain across different robot types

FFMs run the same brain on humanoids, quadrupeds, drones and industrial rovers, reducing morphology-specific engineering.
