The embodied-AI labor force
from the ocean floor to Mars.
Project Hyperion is a high-performance humanoid engineered to provide human versatility in the harshest environments, from deep ocean hydrothermal vents to frozen mountain slopes to orbit and beyond. Expanding the foundation of civilization...exploration, resource development, production and construction, to new domains, finally unlocks the limitless expansion of civilization.
Legacy labor cannot scale into harsh domains
Global infrastructure is aging and commodity demand is rising. The work is getting harsher, deeper and more remote, while the willingness of humans to do dangerous, repetitive tasks is collapsing. At the same time, every new industrial asset is expected to be monitored, inspected and maintained continuously.
Industrial pain points
Operators in energy, maritime, heavy industry and space systems all report the same pattern:
- Essential work in fire, flood, chemical and high-radiation zones still relies on human exposure.
- Deep sea and orbital operations are constrained by cost, risk and the limits of legacy robotics.
- Labor shortages and regulatory risk turn every repair, inspection and rescue into a board-level event.
Why humanoids
The world is built for humans—ladders, hatches, valves, tools, vehicles. Instead of redesigning the planet for robots, we build robots that natively use human infrastructure.
Our thesis
Labor is the last unscaled input in heavy industry. When humanoid hardware becomes reliable, repeatable and mass-produced, operators will re-price risk across entire sectors: offshore energy, maritime, space, municipal services and beyond.
Hyperion exists to be the first credible embodied-AI labor force: a single, mass-produced platform upon which verticals can standardize and capitalize.
A super-humanoid built for extremes
Designed from first principles for intrinsic resistance to deep sea pressure, intense heat, harsh chemicals and space, with no reliance on fragile plastics or rare-earths.
Chassis
Armored chassis and radiation shielded electronics. Critical joints are inherently resistant to heat, water and debris, enabling emergency operation in fires and floods.
Helios actuators
Light-cooled 500°C motor-actuators derived from our Helios program. Designed to operate from deep ocean pressures to the vacuum of orbit, with no fragile permanent magnets, plastics, or complex cooling systems.
Embodied cognition
Vision, sensing and control tuned for industrial tasks: welding, cutting, inspection, valve operation, lifting and rescue. Hyperion is a worker and a hero able to respond in emergencies.
From municipal agencies to oceanic and orbital economies
We start where the pain is highest, the environments are harshest and the unit economics are most compelling.
Phase I — Municipal & industrial
- Fire & flood rescue: rapid deployment into burning or submerged structures to locate and carry survivors and pets to safety.
- Chemical & confined-space response: inspection, valve operation and sampling without risk to human workers.
- Heavy industrial plants: hot-zone maintenance, high-risk inspection and shutdown operations.
Phase II — Offshore & deep sea
- Offshore platforms: welding, inspection and repair in spray, storm and spill conditions.
- Subsea infrastructure: deep-sea inspection and intervention where traditional ROVs are slow or cost-prohibitive.
Phase III — Orbital & lunar
- In-orbit assembly, inspection and repair, leveraging a humanoid that already thrives in hostile environments.
- Lunar and off-world infrastructure build-out: the same platform, extended to vacuum and regolith.
Strategic advantage
A single mass-produced super-humanoid operable across all domains with a unified hardware, controls, AI, and network stack, deployable via @LAS, a streamlined logistics, arbitrage, and service platform made to maximize client ROI. That compounding simplicity birthed from relentless innovation to serve our clients is our moat.
Deep tech demands the right capital partners
nMECH Robotics is a deep-tech company building real hardware and real embodied intelligence. We seek investors who understand the difference between cinematic demos and engineered progress.
What we look for
- Conviction in the inevitability and value of super-humanoid labor at scale.
- Appetite for impact: Transforming the foundation of civilization.
- Ability to add value through industrial, maritime, aerospace or municipal networks.
We are deliberate in choosing our stakeholders to maximize synergy and drive relentless innovation and progress.
