Covariant Company Profile

Since the first industrial robots were introduced in the 1960s, millions have been deployed globally. Their impact is undeniable. Robots have automated countless dangerous and repetitive tasks. They have not only transformed manufacturing, but they've also reached a fraction of their potential, noted Covariant.

Incapable of thinking on their own, most robots can only do pre-programmed tasks in tightly-controlled environments. They can't understand, learn, or adapt, said the company, legally known as Emboided Intelligence Inc.

Building on experience at Berkeley and OpenAI, the company's vision is the Covariant Brain: universal AI that allows robots to see, reason, and act on the world around them. It is bringing the Covariant Brain to commercial viability, starting with the industries that make, move, and store things in the physical world.
