Robots can see. Robots can plan.
But can they read the room?
SpatioTemporal is building the trust layer for Physical AI, starting with Motion Intelligence – a foundation model that understands movement and intent.
Movement is a language all humans understand.
We call it Motion Intelligence.
Movement carries information: a pedestrian hesitates. A cyclist begins to turn. A vehicle drifts towards a lane. Long before an action is complete, motion reveal our intent, and our intent colours what may happen next.
SpatioTemporal models these patterns directly, giving machines another source of intelligence for understanding the dynamic world around them.
Compressing space and time into Motion Tokens – the alphabet of movement.
We represent continuous movement as a discrete vocabulary of 10,000 learned motion primitives. Motion is a language, and this is its alphabet.
Motion Tokens give models a compact way to reasoning about how things move, how movement changes, and what those changes imply.

Research
We are deliberately not building robots, vehicles or autonomy stacks. We build intelligence that can integrate with them. Our research explores Motion Intelligence, intent, human behaviour and the emerging intelligence requirements of Physical AI.

Near-collisions in an NVIDIA Cosmos simulation, comparing an unchanged navigation planner against the same planner augmented with Motion Intelligence.
Earlier yielding. Smoother shared-space negotiation. Less planner volatility.
