The company

A company built to invent the future.

We’re creating new methods, tools and interfaces to change how people use technology.

Starting with AI that runs on physical devices themselves, with no reliance on the cloud.

We’re developing new methods to make machines intelligent.

We bring research and engineering together to carry new ideas through to working technology.

Live pilot in Bristol
Scootrr

Our first edge-AI camera module, designed from the ground up to be retrofitted onto e-scooters and e-bikes. It runs its AI on the vehicle itself, and it is live on Bristol’s streets today in a pilot with Dott.

Our approach

From research to working technology.

Research and engineering happen side by side. We develop and test ideas in hardware and software, carrying what we learn into the next build.

New methods for intelligence

We’re researching ways to bring more capable AI to devices with limited memory and power.

New ways to work with technology

We’re developing the tools and interfaces that make new capabilities useful to people.
