Dumb modules.
One smart brain.
A Titan machine is a brain plus attachments. Hardware modules — wheels, legs, sensors, speakers, radios, batteries, the hand — are deliberately cheap, dumb, and swappable, because all the intelligence lives in the brain. Ten module types, one rule: I/O with a connector, zero smarts on board.
Intelligence is expensive.
Centralize it once.
Putting smarts in every peripheral makes every peripheral expensive, fragile, and unupgradable. Titan splits the machine three ways instead — and only one of the three needs to be intelligent.
Makes every decision.
The compute unit running Titan Core OS. Fuses every sensor into one picture, runs the models, plans the mission, commands every actuator. All intelligence, one place, updated over the air.
Software, loaded in.
What the brain knows how to do: map, localize, plan, decide, grasp, run a patrol. Each skill is one signed registration — easy to load, swap, or leave out.
Deliberately dumb.
Wheels, legs, sensors, speakers, spotlights, microphones, radios, the hand. Near-zero onboard intelligence — so they stay cheap, interchangeable, and replaceable in the field in minutes.
Cheap parts.
Expensive picture.
A module is I/O with a connector: signal out, commands in, health reported. The brain merges every sensor stream it's given into one fused picture — so adding a $40 infrared camera makes the whole machine smarter, without a line of firmware.
Wheels · Legs · Rotors
Drive trains, leg assemblies, and rotor sets carry no autonomy of their own — they execute velocity and gait commands from the brain and report encoder state back.
Cameras · IR · LiDAR · Microphones
RGB and thermal-infrared cameras, LiDAR, radar, ultrasonic, microphones — each module just streams calibrated signal. Understanding happens in the brain, which fuses every stream into one picture.
Speakers · Spotlights · Beacons
Announce, illuminate, signal. An emitter is a switched output with a health report — the decision of when to speak or light up is always the brain's, and always audited.
Radios · Cellular · Satellite
Link hardware is swappable per deployment — Wi-Fi on a closed site, cellular in the field, satellite beyond coverage. The brain classifies whatever link it gets and picks the operating mode.
Module ESP — Extended Sensor Pods
Droppable sensing pods with no locomotion at all: a machine disperses them along its mission and they watch continuously — cameras and probes holding position between fleet passes.
Battery Packs · Solar Panels
Power is the one dependency every robot shares, so it's modular too. Battery packs are swappable units a machine can carry as spares — and hand its own to another. The solar panel module keeps outdoor units topped up between missions.
Module 1T3F Hand
The hand is the proof of the model: an underactuated tendon mechanism with no intelligence of its own. Snap it onto an ISO-9409 mount and the brain loads the grasp skill; remove it and nothing else changes.
Accelerator Packs
The brain itself can take a spare: an accelerator pack adds inference headroom for heavier on-device models. In a model-first OS, more compute is a module away — not a new machine.
Lockers · Tanks · Winches
What the machine carries is modular too: lockable delivery compartments, liquid tanks for spraying, winches for aerial lowering. The mission profile knows which payload it has; the payload knows nothing.
Task Tools
Task-specific implements — brushes, cutters, probes, task grippers — mount downstream of the wrist via the tool-changer. Dumb by design, driven by the brain's skill for that task.
Displays · Buttons · Indicators
Where machines meet people: a status display, an acknowledge button, delivery confirmation. Pure I/O — the brain decides what to show and how to respond, and logs every interaction.
Spare parts and spare skills.
Because modules are dumb, doubling one is cheap: two cameras fuse into a better picture, two radios back each other up. Because skills are registered, doubling one is a single registration: a standby localizer or a conservative fallback planner, with an arbiter deciding who's active and every switchover audited.
