AI needs a
physical layer
The first wave of AI automated knowledge. The next wave is physical. We invest early in humanoids and robotics, not because robots are cool, but because it is the logical step after AI software.

Robots on the farm,
August 2026
At a Voka workshop on our farm in Lummen, Flemish agriculture minister Jo Brouns drove our robot through an exoskeleton. We showed drones that map fields and pinpoint weeds, a robot that pulls water hyacinth by hand, and what fruit picking could look like.
Less spraying, more targeted decisions, and a first step towards the partnerships with universities and companies we are looking for.

Our stance
Co-existence, not replacement
Humanoids are too often positioned as a fix for labor shortages. We look at it differently, and we believe that difference is what will make adoption actually succeed.
Human & humanoid
We build for co-existence between people and machines. Investing in co-existence accelerates adoption; without it, robotics stalls.
Societal purpose
Robotics with meaning: agricultural innovation and our Study Buddy program show what a socially useful humanoid can be.
Open platform
We deliberately choose humanoids and robotics on open platforms, so we stay free to build our own ideas into them.
Why us
Only as good as
its data
A humanoid depends on exactly the domains we already build for our clients every day. Robotics is the next step on that foundation, not a new business.
- Data pipelines
- Machine learning
- Real-time decision systems
- Cloud infrastructure
- Digital twins
- Automation
Our focus on AI-ready data and modern data architectures connects directly to what future robotics solutions need.
What's next
We look where
others stop
There is still a steep growth curve in language models. Meanwhile, the next model families are already being tested.
- LLM
Large language models
Text and reasoning: the wave that automated knowledge work.
- WAM
World Action Models
Systems that model an environment and act inside it.
- VLA
Vision-Language-Action models
Seeing, understanding and moving in one loop.
