SLIDE 02 // MARKET BOTTLENECK

The $142B Failure of Scripted Automation

Modern manufacturing and logistics rely on rigid, hard-coded trajectories programmed over weeks. Any minor displacement, part deformation, or lighting shift causes catastrophic line stoppages.

BOTTLENECK 01

Zero Adaptability

Current cobots fail when target objects shift by even 2 millimeters.

BOTTLENECK 02

Cloud Latency Fatalities

Cloud AI API round-trips (300-800ms) result in dropped payloads and motor collisions.

BOTTLENECK 03

Data Wall

Physical teleoperation collection costs $450/hour and risks destroying mechanical hardware.

SLIDE 03 // THE BREAKTHROUGH

Velocore: The Synthetic-Trained VLA Policy

We bypass slow, dangerous real-world robot data collection. We train generalist physical foundation models inside a massively parallel, ray-traced neural physics simulator generating 4.2 million interaction steps per second.

Sub-4ms Edge Runtime

Custom tensor matrix assembly executes 14.8B parameter models directly on robot controllers with zero OS jitter.

Zero-Shot Sim2Real Generalization

Policies transfer directly to physical hardware with 99.98% trajectory safety and sub-0.04mm tracking accuracy.

SLIDE 04 // CORE ARCHITECTURE

SE(3) Equivariant Diffusion Policy

By building 3D Euclidean rotation and translation symmetries directly into the transformer architecture, Velocore inherently understands spatial orientations without needing millions of redundant demonstrations.

// INFERENCE EXECUTION BREAKDOWN (3.8 MS TOTAL)
Multimodal Tokenizer (RGB-D + Tactile + Proprioception): 1.8 ms
SE(3) Continuous Diffusion Trajectory Generator: 1.4 ms
CAN-FD / EtherCAT Hardware Register Dispatch: 0.6 ms

SLIDE 06 // COMPUTE INFRASTRUCTURE

Accelerated Compute Dependency & Scale

Training our synthetic neural world engine requires petascale tensor acceleration. Our architecture is designed from day one to consume distributed accelerator clusters with maximum hardware utilization.

// CLUSTER COMPUTATION CHARACTERISTICS
• Target Cluster Scale: 512+ High-Throughput Matrix Compute Nodes
• Inter-Node Fabric: RDMA / Ultra-Low-Latency InfiniBand Interconnect
