Your model
Bring any AI
Open weights, an API, or your own model. The thinking layer is yours, and you can swap it whenever you like.
Mechanical
Brainchips for humanoids.
Mech-1 is a safety chip for humanoid robots. You choose the AI that does the thinking. Mech-1 holds the final say over every movement, so the robot stays inside the rules you set.
Mech-1. The safety core, ready to design into a humanoid today.
How it works
Safety lives on the chip.
The robot runs any model you like for thinking. Mech-1 sits between that model and the motors. It checks each movement against your rules in hardware, and it answers only to those rules. Because the rules live in silicon, they hold steady.
The final say
Approved in hardware
Mech-1 gates the motors and clears each movement against your rules. It decides on the chip, in under a millisecond.
Steady rules
Set once, held everywhere
Your rules live in silicon and stay the same across the whole fleet. Every robot follows the version you signed.
Humanoids are getting strong, fast, and common.
Mech-1 keeps them safe around people.
What we make
The chip and the software.

The Mech seal
A mark buyers trust.
We certify robots that carry Mech-1. The seal tells a buyer, an insurer, and a regulator that a robot meets the standard. It works the way UL, Dolby, and USB work, earned through adoption.
How the seal works
The roadmap
Software first, then silicon.
We start in software and move into silicon as demand grows. Each step earns the next, the way ARM grew.
01
Mech Protocol
Open software anyone can run. It sets the rules and defines the cert.
02
Safety co-processorwe are here
The safety core on certified ASIL-D silicon, ready today. We wire it onto open platforms like the Unitree G1.
03
"Mech Inside" module
A certified module robot makers design in. Buyers ask for the seal by name.
04
Fabless Mech die
Our own safety die, built fabless. The heavy compute stays a commodity others supply.
05
License the seal
The standard, the registry, and the mark. We own the test.
