A legged inspection platform for mines, plants and warehouses — paying customers today, not a single mandated buyer three years out.
Every mine, refinery and plant runs scheduled manual inspection: gauges read, leaks checked, thermal anomalies caught, by a person walking a route a wheeled robot can't follow — stairs, gantries, uneven yards, loose gravel.
This is the customer who pays this year, in a purchase order, not a customer who pays after a multi-year trial process.
Stairs and gantries — most inspection routes include at least one flight.
Uneven yards — gravel, mud, cable runs, spill containment lips.
Doorways and racking — warehouse aisles built for people, not wheeled platforms.
Existing wheeled robots already tried and stalled on exactly these routes at these sites.
Rumi walks untethered, on its own compute, at 0.3 m/s — designed, printed and trained in-house. The industrial version is the same hardware and the same design→simulate→train→transfer loop, aimed at inspection routes instead of border terrain.
The loop that made it walk is the same loop that gets it onto a catwalk. We are not building a second robot for this market — we are pointing the first one at it.
Monthly fee per deployed unit — capex off the customer's books, opex on ours to sell against.
Priced against the manual round it replaces — the customer's existing cost is the anchor, not a number we invent.
Annual site-wide agreement once a pilot proves out — the recurring layer that compounds.
Every site walked, every failure mode measured, feeds back into the same policy library that improves the border-terrain and defense variants later. Industrial revenue funds the R&D the harder markets need.
