RESEARCH MAP / 04

Structure becomes intelligence.

A research map built around one belief: the body is not just hardware for intelligence—it is part of the computation.

01

Structure

Mechanisms that adapt before computation.

Six-bar tracked mechanism
02

Perception

Transforming terrain and operator signals into state.

03

Control

Coordinating embedded motion across physical systems.

Embedded motor coordination
04

Intelligence

Closing the loop between body, world and decision.

RESEARCH QUESTION

Can morphology carry part of the intelligence?

The flagship tracked mechanism offers a concrete starting point. Its geometry reacts to obstacles without a dedicated perception-and-actuation loop for every shape change.

The next step is to connect that morphological capacity with sensing, control and learned decision-making—so mechanics and intelligence are designed as one system.
