Principles
Ethics & Safety.
Power requires control. We embed safety into the silicon itself.
No Harm
Our robots will never hurt a person, and they will never stand by while someone is put at risk. That promise is built into our LiDAR reflex loops, so it is part of how the robot reacts, not an option someone can turn off.
Obedience
Our robots listen to the people they work with and follow their instructions, unless an instruction would put someone in danger. They only act on commands from verified operators, so the right people stay in charge.
Self-Preservation
A robot should look after itself, as long as that never puts a person at risk or goes against an operator’s instruction. We care about this because a robot built to last keeps serving people for years.
The Moral Imperative
Liberation of Potential
The human mind is made for creativity, empathy and big-picture thinking, not for doing the same task over and over. When machines take on the repetitive work, people are free to follow what they care about most.
Sanctity of Life
Nobody should have to risk their safety to earn a living. We send machines into the fire, the cold and the dark, so that people can stay safe.
Eradication of Scarcity
As robot labor gets cheaper, goods and services become cheaper and easier for everyone to reach. We see that as a first step towards a future where nobody goes without.
End of Servitude
For most of history, society has depended on some people serving others. We are building a new kind of helper, made of metal and code, to serve everyone equally, so that no person has to live in servitude again.
