Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Nervous system platform for robots and AI

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building a nervous system for physical AI - hardware and software that lets industrial robots sense, learn, and react in real time. Our platform integrates sensors and ML models, giving robots the sort of feedback loop nerves give biological systems. This system helps manufacturers monitor, adapt, and optimize their machines autonomously.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We're based in San Francisco, CA, and will stay here during and after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the global center for robotics and AI talent. Staying here keeps us close to the best engineers and potential customers.
