## Summary

TorqueAGI is providing a "world reasoning model" intelligence layer for industrial robots and heavy machinery rather than developing its own hardware. The model represents objects, machines, and workflows as spatiotemporal graphs and incorporates physics and geometry into its reasoning. The company says new tasks typically require only dozens of examples rather than tens of thousands, and must be validated in simulation and in supervised operation at customer sites before unattended operation is possible. The same model has already run on single-arm and dual-arm robots, mobile platforms, scissor lifts, humanoid robots, and tractors, while details specific to each machine body still need to be described per machine.
