OUR TECHNOLOGY

Active inference

The model predicts what its sensors register, then adapts to the difference. Sensing, Adapting, and Acting are the same computation.

What it does

The hard part

01

Generalizable Model

One model that works across multiple scenarios.

02

Confidence Driven

Models are intrinsically motivated to minimize both surprise and uncertainty.

03

Goal Driven

Outcomes encoded as probability distributions in the model.

04

Edge based

Up to 1 kHz on local compute. No cloud in the control path, nothing leaving the site.

“The technology that underwrites ThoughtForge is beautifully simple and almost magically powerful. Its power is inherited from a deep commitment to first principles — originating in cybernetics — and evincing the fundamentals of self-organisation: by engineering fast, free energy minimising dynamics in silico, ThoughtForge can create artefacts that respond optimally in the blink of an eye. This remarkable capacity rests on exploring configuration spaces dynamically within milliseconds. It is a fundamentally different approach – to context-sensitive, optimal behaviour — that opens up new avenues in control theory and a myriad of applications."

Karl Friston, Inventor of the Field of Active Inference.

Connector Mating

A single control model picked, aligned, and mated two dissimilar connector families with zero per-connector programming and zero reconfiguration to switch between connector types.

Wire Harness

Wire harness automation does not fail on any one case. It fails on the long tail: each exception is solvable, but innumerable, and the engineering cost never amortises.

Valve Manipulation

BP wanted a robotic arm that could reliably manipulate a variety of valves with no prior knowledge of each valve: no CAD model, no measured geometry, no knowledge of its physical properties.

Adaptive Robotic Insertion

A single model handles many parts: rather than training and tuning a separate model for every part number, one controller adapts to whatever part it is given.
