ExosphereBeta

Give robots the ability to perform autonomous tasks by combining artificial intelligence with human operators.

Like Uber, but for robots!

Exosphere empowers anyone to control robots remotely through the web — using a phone, tablet, or computer. Grant access to others for collaborative control, contribute toward safer operations, and enhance business efficiency.

When robots encounter challenges beyond their autonomous capabilities, human operators seamlessly step in to take over or assist — and every human intervention trains the global AI knowledge base for future autonomous use.

How Does Exosphere Work?

Step 1 - connect a robot
1. Connect your robot to Exosphere with the Exosphere Robot Skill.
Step 2 - instruct robot to do something
2. A robot is instructed to execute a task.
Step 3 - submit a task
3. The task is submitted to Exosphere as a contract request.
Step 4 - bid to do the task
4. AI/ML and humans provide a confidence bid to win the contract.
Step 5 - human remote controls robot
5. If AI/ML can’t control the robot to successfully perform a task, another contract is issued to a human operator to take over or assist the robot. In turn, training the global AI knowledge base for future task requests.

Bidding Process

The bidding process determines who will control the robot between human operators and AI systems. As Exosphere continues to train ML systems for AI usage, human operators will be more likely to win confidence bids and control robots. As the ML usage data grows, AI companies will increase their ability to complete tasks autonomously without human intervention. However, human operators will always be available to take over if the robot needs assistance.

Why Do Robots Need Exosphere?

Synthiam's Exosphere is the perfect solution for anyone looking to add autonomous navigation capabilities to their robot. With Exosphere, any robot can connect and be controlled remotely, making it easy to achieve successful operation regardless of your experience level. Plus, with its flexible design, Exosphere can be used with any type of robot - including humanoids and drones!

Exosphere controls as much or little as necessary to help robot companies achieve their goals. Companies work very hard to program robot products. However, there are many edge cases where robot programming is unable to prove successful. Utilizing the power of the human mind, Exosphere is able to control and program robots in even the most unpredictable of environments. With our artificial intelligence knowledgebase, autonomous tasks are trained with real-world examples for successful results.


Exosphere's Usage Scenarios

100% Human Operation
