The technology

Physical AI, in the room.

Physical AI combines robotics, computer vision and machine learning to deliver autonomous, personalised recovery — the intelligence of a great therapist, in a machine that never has an off day.

What is Physical AI?

Software that understands the body — and acts on it.

Most AI lives on a screen. Physical AI reaches into the real world: it perceives a person in three dimensions, decides what their body needs, and moves with therapist-trained precision to deliver it — safely, and the same way every time.

That combination — perception, decision and safe motion — is what turns a robot arm into recovery infrastructure.


The stack

Four layers, working as one.

01

Computer vision & sensing

On-board cameras and sensors read the body in real time — posture, shape and response — adjusting pressure as the session unfolds.

Perception
02

3D body model

A point-cloud scan builds a precise model of each person, so Self knows exactly where to work — and remembers for next time.

Mapping
03

Therapist-trained intelligence

Techniques modelled on real therapists are planned by AI and tuned to the individual, session over session.

Decision
04

Human-safe robotics

A CE-marked collaborative robot delivers the motion with force-limited, multi-layer safety — built for unsupervised public use.

Motion

It compounds

Every session sharpens the next.

Self isn't static. Each visit feeds a profile unique to the individual — so the recovery fits a little better every time, and the intelligence behind it keeps improving across every machine on the network.

That's the long game: millions of sessions compounding into the operating system for recovery.

Safety & certification

Built to run unsupervised, in public.

01

CE marked

Certified to European standards for safe operation in public, unstaffed environments.

02

Force-limited cobot

A collaborative robot designed to work safely alongside people, with motion that yields on contact.

03

Layered fail-safes

Multiple independent safety systems and an always-available stop keep every session in the user's control.


The platform

The robot is the first product. The platform is the company.

The same Physical AI that powers the recovery robot is a layer others can build on. "Powered by Self" licenses the intelligence beneath other brands and surfaces — with biometric sensing as the long-horizon upside.
