Innate

Consumer marketcobotCurated record

Innate builds general-purpose personal AI robots centred on a multi-model orchestration brain that combines nine specialised models for navigation, manipulation, reasoning, and planning. Their first robot, Maurice, is a mobile robot with a teachable arm that users can train through natural language prompts, conversations, and physical demonstrations in under five minutes. The inference stack runs on a Jetson Orin Nano for onboard real-time control with cloud-based training pipelines for arm data collection and model fine-tuning. The platform is open and SDK-accessible, positioning it as a consumer and developer-facing general-purpose robot.
