Intelligent Humanoid Robot

AIVOT builds intelligent humanoid robots to perform various complex tasks in dynamic environments using the latest AI advancements.

The robots can navigate autonomously with their mobile bases and perform dexterous tasks using their two arms. They learn new skills by listening to spoken instructions and watching human demos. The robots follow operators' voice commands and act using vision. The robots can perceive the dynamic world state, understand the task context, and plan actions to accomplish the specified goals. They can be instructed to keep humans in the loop for strategic decision-making when the conditions arise. The robots do all the processing onboard without requiring any network connection.

Problem With Existing Automation

Existing automation solutions have limited scope and do not scale. They are built for specific actions and work only in predictable conditions. They are resource-intensive to implement and need technical expertise. They require reimplementation if there is a change in the workflow or objects. An operator is required to teleoperate the machine for complex scenarios.

Cognitive Agent

AIVOT robots have basic cognitive abilities to identify common objects, understand the natural language used to describe tasks and perform everyday actions. Additionally, layperson operators can show unique objects and other visual conditions for the robot to learn to identify and associate names with them. They can show the specific actions that must be performed in the tasks. They can describe the desired workflow in different conditions. The operators can also provide verbal feedback to the robot on its task performance. The operator instructions are in terms of goals to accomplish rather than specifying robotic hardware motions. The robot analyzes the environment state in real-time in multiple modalities and generates the low-level instruction code for the configured hardware systems to achieve the desired goals.

Once a robot has mastered a skill, the skill can be saved onboard and referenced as a building block in a higher-level workflow description. The learned skills can also be transferred to other robots in the deployment. Multiple AIVOT systems can be deployed to accomplish a mission collaboratively as a team. They can also be configured to digitally interface with other systems and invoke their procedures when required.

Hardware Configuration Flexibility

AIVOT’s end-to-end software stack can be deployed on any off-the-shelf commercial hardware, like robotic arms, AMRs, and unmanned vehicles. The software is architected to be hardware agnostic and can integrate any hardware by importing its configuration. This allows AIVOT to configure appropriate robot hardware for the desired scenario. For example, large robotic arms with unmanned ground vehicles can be deployed to pick up and move supplies weighing over a hundred pounds. A different system can be configured to navigate complex terrain and perform dexterous tasks for EOD and CBRN-related operations.

AIVOT has also designed its own humanoid hardware and built a prototype that drastically reduces hardware costs compared to the commercially available options. It uses AI models to extract high-fidelity information from commodity sensors and guide the low-precision sturdy hardware motion components to achieve precision parity seen with expensive and intricate hardware.

Defense Scenarios

AIVOT is focused on deploying its innovative technology for national defense needs and addressing the unique requirements that automation of defense scenarios demands. It can enable effective Human-Machine Integration. Soldiers can speak instructions and hear answers instead of carrying remote controls. AIVOT robots can automate Logistics tasks in the field, allowing warfighters to focus on strategic missions. They can perform EOD tasks and operations like testing in CBRN-related dangerous environments with high autonomy. Personnel do not have to be present near unsafe areas for teleoperation. AIVOT robots can automate repetitive manual tasks in maintenance and sustainment operations. They can also be used for other defense scenarios like surveillance & reconnaissance, repair & construction, warehouse, terrain shaping, and mundane task support.

AIVOT’s software development is complete, and the robots can be deployed in the field using off-the-shelf hardware components. AIVOT’s custom hardware design will be finalized for production after defense pilots. AIVOT can also be used in commercial sectors like manufacturing, food services, retail, and healthcare. The company successfully completed a pilot at Evergreens in 2023 for beverage bottle production. It is working on pilot opportunities with US manufacturers to automate their high-mix tasks.

Defense Events

AIVOT is participating in several defense experimentation events in 2024 to demonstrate its technology for real-world missions in the field. AIVOT will exhibit its humanoid robot in the Pacific Northwest Defense Coalition booth at the AUSA Annual Meeting & Exposition in October 2024.
