KWR-1 / CURRENT PLATFORM01
Kitchen work robot.
Full stack.
Geometry, subassemblies, scene export, BOM, electronics schedules, wiring, assembly notes, and verification all leave the same pipeline.

We use AI to design the body, mechanisms, physics, and controller for a real work cell—fast enough to make specialty robots radically cheaper.

One loop.
Many bodies.
The kitchen robot is the proving ground. W1 Wriggler is the first robot we intend to build to test whether AI-designed bodies survive contact with reality. Biology labs are the next room already inside the design search.
Kitchen work robot.
W1 / WRIGGLER / FIRST BUILD TARGET02
The first build.
The sharp test.
A small worm-like crawler with printable geometry, a firmware starting point, motion videos, and 12/12 simulated gates—still explicitly unbuilt.
OPEN W1 BUILD PACKAGE ↗BIOLOGY LABS / NEXT ROOM03
New room.
Same pipeline.
Plate handling, instrument tending, sample movement, and safe repeatable interaction are the current specialty direction for the next body search.

03 / DESIGN SEARCH / MANY BODIES
Don't pick a body.
Search the room.
We generate candidate bodies, put them into the same task suite, break them on contact and reach, then train the controller against the outcomes. The KWR-1 challenge library is the proving ground; these renders make the search legible at a glance.

THE BET / SPECIALTY HARDWARE
The next useful robot is built for one room.
Kitchen Robot Now is the first proving ground. Biology labs are the current specialty design focus: plate handling, instrument tending, sample movement, and safe repeatable interaction.

CURRENT DESIGN STUDIES / BTHE DESIGN LOOP / TARGET UNDER A MONTH
From environment brief to finalized controller.
TARGET30DAYS
Start with the room, not the robot.
Describe the environment, the work, and what counts as a safe failure. The same spec becomes the language for geometry, simulation, and verification.

THE FIRST PROOF / KITCHEN ROBOT NOW
A prototype is a chain of inspectable artifacts.
KWR-1 is the first room where the loop has teeth: geometry, contact, failure, learning, and an export package you can open.

SIMULATED EVIDENCE, NOT A CLAIM OF PHYSICAL DEPLOYMENT READINESS.
06 / EXPORTS / RENDER → BOM → WIRING
Make the depth inspectable.
Real robotics work is not one hero render. It is the body, its subassemblies, the export formats, the wiring map, the build notes, and the reasons a gate is still open.
ACTUAL MODEL / CABLE ROUTINGKWR-1 / ENGINEERING EXPORT
From body render to wiring schedule.
Open the actual package: GLB bodies, subassemblies, BOM CSV, one-line wiring SVG, connector and cable schedules, assembly notes, and machine-readable verification.

SIMULATION / OBSTACLE AVOIDANCEW1 / FIRST BUILD TARGET
Small enough to build. Honest enough to fail.
W1 carries the question into hardware: printable parts, firmware starting point, motion evidence, and a report that says exactly what is still only simulated.

THE POINT OF THE LOOP
Make bespoke hardware feel more like software.
The target is not cheap as a slogan. It is a design search over body, drives, sensors, materials, and build routes until a specialty robot can exist at radically lower cost.

Have a specialty job that deserves its own robot?
Bring the environment, the constraints, and the awkward work. We are building the AI-native system that makes a robot worth testing in weeks—not years.
