Active Physical Intelligence for Awareness

Technology and infrastructure have expanded to mega-scale, reshaping industries worldwide. Yet, awareness of their operational state has lagged. Companies rely on outdated, reactive, and inefficient information, leaving businesses, governments, and communities vulnerable to catastrophic failures.

  • Unplanned shutdowns cost Fortune 500 companies up to $1.5 trillion in operational losses.

  • Undetected faults lead to safety incidents, risking injury and loss of life.

  • Leaked emissions cause irreversible environmental damage, harming ecosystems and communities.

Passive Data and Fragmented Intelligence

Current monitoring and learning systems rely on passively collected data, limited sensors, and fragmented views of operations. As a result, massive shutdowns and large-scale accidents have become a frequent reality.

Challenges of Awareness at Scale

Difficulty is in precisely pinpointing problems (precision) in a timely manner (proactiveness). Existing solutions (e.g., scanning with specialized robots or ubiquitous yet generic IoT platforms) trade off the extremes in a zero-sum fashion.


What can Active Physical intelligence achieve?

Active Physical Intelligence eliminates blind spots and adapts in real-time. Unlike existing solutions and their passive AI models, active physical intelligence simultaneously ensures precision (focus on critical areas) and proactiveness (real-time response).
