Human–AI Co-Embodied Intelligence
Mixed-reality goggles, agentic AI, and human researchers united in a closed loop — bringing real-time reasoning, guidance, and protocol co-development into the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) cleanroom.
APEX is a physical AI framework in which agentic AI provides contextual reasoning, adaptive planning, and real-time analysis, while humans perform dexterous physical execution. Wearable mixed-reality hardware streams experimental context to the AI and delivers in-situ guidance back to the operator.
