One platform · two patents
A deterministic reasoning coprocessor and a wired safety monitor for embedded autonomy.
The problem
Satellites, drones, robots and isolated equipment can't wait for the cloud or trust a compromised host.
The platform
Branxa moves the costly, safety-critical step into dedicated hardware.
Decide on time. Without the cloud. On battery.
Give it the situation, a goal and the possible actions. It tries every action at once and returns each next step with its distance to the goal.
The dangerous effect, made physically impossible.
A dedicated circuit that vets every command before it reaches an actuator — even if the host is fully hacked.
How it works
Automated reasoning is a loop. Branxa wires the costly step into hardware. Click a step.
The host sends the current state to the chip.
The chip tries every possible action at once.
The host keeps the best branch.
Repeat until the goal.
The whole compute path is wired — no operating system can interrupt it.
Why now
Evidence & maturity
The circuit isn't compared to frozen values. A second model recomputes every expected result.
This protocol has already flushed out a subtle defect — proof that it bites.
Our journey
