AI software for humanoid robots in the home, care, industry and logistics.
We develop modular software that lets a humanoid robot perceive its surroundings, map them, navigate safely, plan tasks and handle objects — with people always in control.
From software to a genuinely useful robot assistant
A robot only becomes useful once it understands what is happening around it and picks the right sequence of actions by itself. That is exactly where our work sits: the software that turns perception into useful action.
BELTH builds that software layer and the accompanying product concepts. The robot itself comes from a manufacturer. That way we combine our knowledge of AI and autonomy with the production capacity of partners who already build hardware.
01A control stack that can run on existing platforms
02Simulation in ROS 2 and Gazebo before we touch hardware
03Clear agreements on IP, licensing and division of roles
Software stack
Six modules, one coherent system
Each module works on its own, but only becomes powerful in combination.
01
Perception
The robot sees and recognises people, objects and obstacles through cameras and sensors.
02
Mapping
It builds an up-to-date 3D map of the space and knows where it is.
03
Planning
A task is translated into a logical sequence of sub-steps.
04
Navigation
It picks a safe route and adjusts as soon as something changes.
05
Manipulation
Grasping, carrying and placing objects with the right force and precision.
06
Safety
Limits, emergency stop and human oversight are built into every layer.
Product direction
A robot that learns how you live
Most humanoid programmes answer the question "what can this robot do?". BELTH is developing an answer to a different one: what can you teach it? A dedicated page sets out the direction — learning the home, learning from demonstration, household memory, and why none of it is allowed to touch the safety layer.
Learns the home as a structured world, not a floor plan
Taught by demonstration, not by recorded trajectories
Household memory that makes assistance proactive
An independent safety layer that cannot be trained away
Four domains BELTH is developing this software for. None of them is a shipping product today.
01
Household support
Helping with tidying, carrying and recurring chores at home, so people can live independently for longer.
02
Care and assisted living
Supporting care staff and residents: fetching items, keeping an eye out and simply being present, without taking over the care itself.
03
Industry and production
Taking over repetitive operations on the line, even when the setup changes regularly.
04
Warehousing and logistics
Assembling orders, moving boxes and feeding material between people and machines.
How it works
From perceiving to acting safely
Four steps the robot runs through again and again.
01
Perceive
Sensors capture the environment: who is there, what is where, what is moving.
02
Understand
The software links that picture to the task and works out what is needed.
03
Act
The robot performs the steps: moving, picking up, handing over, putting away.
04
Supervise safely
Every action is checked and logged, and can always be stopped by a person.
The core
One software layer, many environments
A living room, a care room, a production hall and a warehouse look completely different, yet they ask exactly the same of a robot: see what is there, understand what needs to happen and act safely. We build that layer properly once, then tune it per environment.
01The same modules for perception, planning and safety
02A dedicated task library and behaviour rules per environment
03Human oversight built in from the start, not bolted on
Development status
Where the project stands today
We are open about what is finished and what still lies ahead.
01In place
Software architecture
The modular structure from perception through to safety is settled.
02In progress
Simulation in ROS 2 and Gazebo
We test behaviour, navigation and manipulation in a virtual environment.
03Next phase
Physical integration
The next phase: running our software on a real robot platform.
04Partner wanted
Manufacturer and pilot partners
We are looking for a hardware partner and a test environment to take that step.
Divisions
Four domains, one technology base
The same perception, navigation and integration modules return in every division. What runs in software today is the foundation for what we are building in robotics and autonomous mobility.
