Milestones
A phased approach. Start simple — a robotic arm with a gripper. Scale to a full autonomous fleet building mega structures in space. Each phase unlocks the next.
Phase 1
Build and perfect a single robotic arm. Gripper/claw end effector. Low payload, high precision. Prove manipulation in controlled environments. This is the atomic unit of everything that follows.
Gripper claw · Low payload · Precision manipulation · Ground testing
Dual arms · Cube chassis · Onboard AI · Sensor suite
Phase 2
Mount two arms on a compact cube body. Add sensors, compute, and battery. The AMP-1 Assembler is born. Test autonomous assembly tasks — connecting parts, tightening fasteners, installing panels.
Phase 3
Get an AMP unit on a rocket. Prove the system works in microgravity. Demonstrate basic manipulation in orbit — even a simple task validates the entire architecture.
Launch opportunity · Microgravity testing · Orbital demonstration · Flight heritage
Mothership · Multi-unit coordination · Autonomous charging · Mission control
Phase 4
Launch the NEXUS mothership. Establish a permanent orbital platform where AMP units can dock, charge, and receive updates. The base is the foundation for fleet operations.
Phase 5
Deploy the full suite — Assemblers, Scouts, Haulers, Welders, Medics, Sentinels. Coordinated multi-robot operations. Autonomous construction of structures larger than any single unit could build alone.
Full fleet · Multi-robot coordination · Autonomous construction · Self-repair
Mega structures · Orbital habitats · Lunar bases · Mars infrastructure
Phase 6
The endgame. Fleets of hundreds of AMP units constructing infrastructure at scale. Solar farms, orbital stations, lunar outposts. The robots build the future — autonomously, continuously, endlessly.
Near-Term
Secure funding to build the founding team and establish the lab. Capital for hardware, compute, and the first flight opportunity.
Custom simulation environment for testing robot autonomy and manipulation in virtual space conditions. Thousands of training runs before touching hardware.
AI-driven mechanical design tools for rapid iteration on robot geometry, arm kinematics, and structural components. Design at the speed of thought.
In-house 3D printing, CNC, and electronics workbench. Design today, hold the part tomorrow. No external vendor delays.
Thermal vacuum chambers, vibration tables, radiation testing. Simulate space conditions on the ground before committing to flight.
Assemble a small, elite team of roboticists and AI engineers. Every person ships. High output, no dead weight.
