The Platform

Physical AI, engineered for the real world.

AFK Optimus is not a software layer on top of existing hardware. We build the full stack — perception, reasoning, actuation, and deployment — purpose-built for precision surface finishing.

Architecture

A closed-loop system that sees, decides, and acts.

Most finishing automation is brittle — programmed for one part, one abrasive, one tolerance. AFK Optimus systems are adaptive. They perceive surface condition in real time, reason about variation, and adjust pressure, speed, and path on the fly. The result is a system that performs like a master finisher, not a fixed-path machine.

01
Perceive

Multi-modal sensor fusion — structured light, spectrometry, and tactile force — processed at the edge in under 8ms.

02
Reason

On-device AI models trained on millions of finishing sequences across substrates, abrasives, and geometries — updated continuously via federated learning.

03
Act

Sub-millimetre precision actuation with real-time force feedback, adaptive to surface variation, part fixturing error, and abrasive wear.

AI & Perception

The intelligence layer.

Our models are not general-purpose. They are trained exclusively on surface finishing data — millions of hours of sanding paths, gloss measurements, and defect profiles across metals, composites, and coatings. This narrow, deep training is what enables performance that exceeds human baseline on every metric we track.

Surface Mapping

Real-time 3D surface reconstruction that identifies high spots, scratches, and waviness before and during the finishing pass.

Adaptive Path Planning

Dynamic trajectory generation that adjusts to part geometry, fixturing error, and abrasive wear state without reprogramming.

Process Intelligence

Continuous gloss and roughness logging, anomaly flagging, and process optimisation — every run improves the next.

Federated Learning

Models improve across the entire fleet without centralising sensitive production data. Every deployment makes every other deployment smarter.

Deployment

From site survey to first test run in 72 hours.

01
Site Survey

Remote and on-site assessment of part geometry, fixturing, abrasive supply, and integration requirements. Completed in under 4 hours.

02
System Configuration

End-effector selection, abrasive sequence loading, and safety perimeter setup. No custom programming required.

03
Commissioning

Supervised first-run validation with our field engineers. System is certified to finish spec before handoff.

04
Live Monitoring

Continuous remote telemetry, predictive maintenance alerts, and over-the-air model updates from day one.
