What We're Engineering

Open specifications. Transparent timeline. The Standardized Autonomous Safety Module (SASM) — three form factors, one universal connector, hardware-enforced safety for autonomous robots.

The ATX standard for robot brains.

Safety ProcessorYes — dedicatedYes — dedicatedYes — dedicated
Target RobotsDrones, companions, small mobile platformsQuadrupeds, small humanoids, industrial cobotsFull-size humanoids, heavy industrial, autonomous vehicles

All three tiers share: common MIM connector position, common primary mounting holes, common status indicator layout. A smaller brain fits in a larger chassis with a bracket adapter.

Safety Architecture

Every tier. Every form factor. Hardware-enforced safety that the AI cannot override.

Safety Processor

Dedicated SIL-rated MCU on its own power rail. Completely independent of the AI processors it monitors. Boots first, validates AI before power-on.

Power Gating

Hardware kill — cuts AI compute power in <10ms. Safe Torque Off applied to AI (IEC 61800-5-2 analog). The AI cannot prevent its own shutdown.

Multi-Vendor Consensus

Up to 9 AI models from 9 different vendors vote on every safety decision. Majority consensus allows motion. Dissenting opinions logged as training signal.

Immutable Audit Trail

Hash-chain logging on shared storage. Every decision recorded in human-readable files. Regulators can inspect without special tools. EU AI Act Articles 12, 13, 14 compliance by architecture.

SASM Dual-Brain Architecture — cognitive brain (LLM consensus) and reflexive brain (micro-agents) with amygdala hijack pathway to hardware power gating

SASM Dual-Brain Architecture — cognitive reasoning + reflexive safety with hardware-enforced shutdown
