## Competitive Advantages
- **Zero‑shot adaptability**: No retraining or retooling required when SKU mix changes – works out of the box on new items.
- **Production‑proven VLAM**: Trained on millions of real‑world picks; works in brownfield sites, not just lab conditions.
- **High reliability**: 98% first‑attempt pick success, >99% uptime, minimal human intervention (1 intervention per ~53,000 picks).
- **Platform agnostic**: Supports standard 6‑axis and humanoid robot architectures.

## Strategic Focus
- Scale deployments globally, especially in the US and Europe.
- Continue advancing the Vision Language Action Model to handle increasingly complex manipulation tasks (e.g., humanoid dexterity).
- Deepen partnerships with major logistics and manufacturing players.
