We bring the brain into your system.
One brain, carried from machine to machine. We take it into the systems you already run, turn what goes wrong there into its rules, prove it where the other side hits back, and build toward combat-capable humanoids under human command.
Nothing here has been in the field. Everything so far was measured in games and simulation; each step below says what exists and what does not.
The plan, in four steps
- Into your system. The brain goes into the drones, vehicles, simulators and test ranges you already run.
- Your failures become its rules. What went wrong on your systems becomes what the brain knows on day one.
- Into the ring. A humanoid in sanctioned robot-vs-robot bouts: the cheapest place to find out what breaks when the other side hits back.
- Combat-capable humanoids, under human command. The goal. Each step has to be proven before the next one is taken.
01 · Into your system
We take the brain into partners’ own host environments — their drones, ground vehicles, simulators and test ranges — and run it there, against their conditions instead of ours. We write the adapter to your machine; your system stays yours.
It starts small: one job, in an isolated copy, with the brain in shadow mode next to your operator. It writes down what it would have done and refused, and why, and touches nothing. No partner integration exists yet — this is the next step, not a result.
02 · Your failures become its rules
Once it is inside, your failed-run logs and incident telemetry become what it learns from. What went wrong on the last system becomes a rule for the next one, including weapons-capable platforms under human command — and every rule points back to the records that earned it.
We have done this once from a public record: 8,219 US federal crash and incident reports on automated vehicles became 15 driving rules, 6 of them enforced so far.
03 · The ring: why a robot boxing ring before a battlefield
Simulation and your test ranges still let us control the fight. The ring doesn’t. Perslis plans to buy a commercially available humanoid fighting robot and enter sanctioned robot-vs-robot bouts, with the remote pilot replaced by the brain. It is the cheapest place to find out what breaks when the other side hits back — independently built opponents, real contact, lost balance, blocked sensors, wear, moves nobody scripted — and it is where we raise the money for what comes next. We do not build the robot hardware.
- Robot sensors
- Eye
- Peel
- Floor
- Robot actuators
A human keeps the stop button and safety authority the whole time, but does not steer the robot during an autonomous run. The vendor’s own safety systems stay on. Sanctioned robot-vs-robot bouts only: no bouts against people.
What we score is not just “did it win?” A lost bout is evidence. Every impact goes through the same drill — what happened, why, one change, run it again, keep it only if it wins clearly — and the losses stay on the public record.
- Human interventions per autonomous hour
- Recovery rate
- Failure types it has never met before
- Floor vetoes
- Fixes the brain proposed to itself
- Rules kept and thrown out
- Fewer repeated failures
- Lessons carried to opponents it has never seen
Where the field is today: humanoid bouts are mostly piloted by people with VR rigs and gamepads, with short autonomous sequences; a robot in the Unitree G1 class starts at about US$13,500. Our question is different — not whether a robot can fight on its own, but whether a brain that learns without a neural network, under a floor, with a trace for every decision, survives contact.
04 · Combat-capable humanoids, under human command
That is where this goes. Learning may change the brain’s tactics and what it knows about the ground; it never silently expands what the machine is authorised to do. People hold authority over the use of force, the floor holds the machine to the rules they set, and every decision is on the record. None of it is built yet, and each step above has to be proven before the next one is taken.
The robot is not the product. The brain is. Seed funding lets us stop controlling the fight, one step at a time.
