APPLIED / ABOUT
Intelligence, embodied.
Applied Robotics Company is building humanoid robots and the intelligence to move them. The interesting work happens where model architecture, silicon, and the physical world meet.
Beyond the next token.
Generative pretrained transformers changed what machines can learn from language. Our research direction extends that ambition into physical action: vision-language models to connect what a robot sees with what you ask, and Gaussian diffusion action modeling to turn observations into sequences of movement. Think iterative denoising in action space, conditioned on the scene and the task.
Models and silicon, co-designed.
Mk. 1 Peregrine is our planned neural network accelerator, with a design target of 3000 TOPS at FP4 precision, co-designed with our next-generation transformer. The objective is more useful inference within a robot’s power and latency budget. Precision, memory movement, and model architecture all matter. A TOPS figure is a compute specification, not a benchmark of robot capability.
A few details remain in the lab.
Our research team brings experience from OpenAI, Tesla, Meta AI, and Google Research. We’re turning cutting-edge AI models into a magical product experience: sophisticated intelligence that feels natural to interact with.
We’re keeping the full architecture under wraps for now. The outline is deliberate: multimodal perception, generative action, and compute designed around the model. We’ll share more in future technical releases.
