INTELLIGENCE
THAT RUNS ON
THE BODY

A research platform where perception, balance and reasoning close in one loop — 38 ms, entirely on the chassis.

01 — Manifesto

UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU MOVE

We are not building faster machines. X–2Q0 is a research platform for embodied intelligence — an investigation into how perception, balance and reasoning collapse into one continuous loop, running entirely on the body.

Four vectors · one loop · zero round trips

02Research vectors
01

LOCOMOTION

Whole-body control resolved at 1 kHz. Dynamic balance across terrain the system has never mapped, recovered from a single unlabelled contact event.

Control rate1 kHz
Recovery1 contact
02

PERCEPTION

Fourteen sensors — depth, thermal, acoustic — fused into one latent field, rewritten every 12 ms. No modality is privileged.

Sensors14
Field refresh12 ms
03

COGNITION

A 4.2B-parameter world model runs on-device. No cloud, no round trip. The decision loop closes in 38 ms — faster than a human startle reflex.

Decision loop38 ms

EMBODIMENT

Actuator arrays with force feedback resolved to 0.1 N. The body is not the output of the reasoning — it is part of it.

DECISION LATENCY

The loop closes on the body. Nothing leaves the chassis, so nothing waits for a network.
