Technology

This Nordic deep-tech startup provides high-mobility physical AI capabilities for autonomous ground operations in extreme, contested, and GPS-denied environments, including permanently shadowed or low-illumination regions. They specialize in the development of rugged, modular unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) platforms designed for rapid deployment and interoperability across defence, security, and space domains. Their work focuses on proprioceptive mobility and vehicle–terrain interaction intelligence, enabling autonomous ground systems to maintain operational continuity in low-visibility, sensor-degraded, or energy-constrained environments, such as snow, ice, rubble, subterranean areas, or solar-shadowed regions. Physical AI capabilities are being developed as reusable and platform-adaptable modules, simultaneously validated on their own UGV platforms and suitable for integration into third-party ground systems. By applying physics-informed autonomy principles, company's solutions help bridge the gap between laboratory robotics demonstrations and reliable field performance in defence, security, and exploration-relevant scenarios. The company is structured to support EU, ESA, and NATO research and development consortia, offering (1) a field-capable ground platform for experimentation and demonstration, and (2) physical AI capabilities that can be evaluated independently or in combination with partner systems. The platform is intended as an enabler and testbed, complementing higher-level command, control, and information systems rather than replacing them. The company seeks to join or form consortia for EDF 2026, Horizon Europe, ESA, and NATO calls, contributing as a specialised AI, mobility and autonomy partner, while also engaging with strategic and financial investors aligned with defence, security, and dual-use technologies. Advantages and innovations: -Dual deliverable model -The company provides both rugged UGV platforms for experimentation and demonstration and physical AI capabilities that can be evaluated independently or integrated into third-party ground systems. Mobility intelligence beyond perception: Focus on vehicle–terrain interaction and mobility resilience rather than perception-only autonomy, improving reliability in degraded and denied environments. Operation in denied, shadowed, and extreme conditions: Being designed for GPS-denied, low-illumination, visually degraded, and energy-constrained environments, including Arctic, subterranean, and solar-shadowed regions. Modular, payload-agnostic architecture: Rapid integration of mission-specific payloads. Consortium-ready by design: Optimised for applied research and experimentation, system integration, and validation within multi-partner EU, ESA, and NATO funded projects. Expected role of a partner: The company is looking for partners for joint R&D, consortium building, and pilot projects related to AI-based ground mobility and sensor fusion for unmanned or autonomous vehicles. They are interested in collaboration within EDF, Horizon Europe, and similar programmes. Partners may contribute mobility platforms, testing environments, integration expertise, or end-user validation in defence, dual-use, industrial, or construction contexts. The objective is joint development, shared pilots, and preparation of competitive European funding proposals.
