A scattered swarm of heterogeneous robots converges into a coordinated hexagonal formation, linked by glowing graph lines, with a single pulse of light orchestrating them.
The cognitive operating layer of Physical AI
Many robots. One mind.
VALIS is the cognitive layer that orchestrates fleets of heterogeneous robots, picking the best model for each task. Not another model — the layer that makes all the others work.
What makes VALIS different
Three ideas separate an orchestration layer from yet another model.
Planner→Perception·locate target
Multi-agent orchestration
A fleet of different robots working as one mind — coordinated, decentralized, resilient when a node drops. Agents share an inner speech: they negotiate sub-goals and hand off work in real time, so the team behaves like a single intelligence rather than a crowd of separate machines.
Best model for the best task
Each agent uses the best model for its task: a flexible ecosystem, not a single brain trying to do everything. A request is routed to the right model — a VLA to manipulate, a navigation policy to move, a perception model to see — and swapped the moment a better one appears.
Knowledge graph
A living map of robot, agent and model capabilities: the core that decides who does what, and lights up the path to the right choice.
One platform, many worlds.
One system, very different markets — from the autonomous store to elder care, from the factory to the field. The robots, models and constraints change; VALIS recomposes them.
One core. Many machines. One coordinated mind.
VALIS holds a living picture of every robot, agent and model — and composes them, in real time, into a single system that acts in the physical world.
Why this team
The rare combination Physical AI needs.
Physical AI is polarized: those who master AI rarely master robotics, and the reverse. We bring both together — applied AI shipped to production and frontier robotics research — in one team that understands what's actually missing.
Meet the teamApplied AI, in production
Built and shipped with Fusion AI Labs — AI that runs real businesses, not demos.
Frontier robotics research
Cognitive robotics, task & motion planning and HRI at the University of Genoa (Mastrogiovanni group).
Verifiable, not hand-wavy
190+ peer-reviewed publications, patents and spin-offs behind the approach.
The Physical AI moment is now. What's missing is what puts it to work.
Capital is flowing to the brains and the bodies. VALIS is the layer in between — the one that decides, coordinates and recovers on real fleets.
