HOLOTYPE ROBOTICS
-
I. Our Vision
-
A. Robot Objectives
- 1. Learn from Physical Interactions
- Robots operate in home and office spaces, acquiring knowledge through
movement and object interactions, akin to infants. Varied senses, including
touch, vision, and balance, contribute to expanded neural models.
- 2. Behavior-Based Actions
- Robots assess unfolding scenarios to determine appropriate activities.
- Actions are based on internal goals and the environment rather than external
commands.
- Goal-directed yet reactive actions driven by internal state and external stimuli.
- 3. Knowledge Transfer
- Learned skills transfer across robots through a cloud knowledge base,
facilitating rapid skill-building through shared experiences.
- 4. Inner Common Subspace for Context
- Sensor fusion using HTM enables the representation of environmental context
in time and space.
- Correlating occurrences in time and space provide environmental insight and
causal inference.
-
B. Guiding Principles
- Fluid lifelong learning.
- Critical sensory associations.
- Transferable hierarchical knowledge.
- Predictive planning from experiences.
-
C. Target Markets
- Robotics kits.
- Toys.
- Vehicles.
- Home automation.
-

B. Business Model
-
1. Accessible Robotic Solutions
- We freely share design files for our robots' mechanical components,
encouraging customization through easy modifications or 3D printing.
-
2. Community-Driven Software Progress
- Our control software, and machine learning modules are publicly released under
open licenses, inviting external contributions that enhance real-world
capabilities.
-
3. Knowledge Sharing at the Core
- We collect and link insights from the robotics community, accelerating progress
through collaborative learning.
-
4. Sustainable Business Growth
- While our ecosystems remain open, we sustain our business through:
- Direct sales of complete robots, kits, and components via our online shop
- Collaborations with leading hardware suppliers through distributor partnerships
- Offering value-added support services for enterprise deployments
- This approach enables us to maintain a sustainable business model, fostering open
development while delivering quality products, documentation, and services.
Revenues support the continual expansion of collective innovation
