01 / Ingest
Normalize robot telemetry, video, maps, events, and mission state.
How it Works
Formant connects robot systems to the people, workflows, data, and agents that make them operational.
Built for technical evaluators, robotics leaders, physical-AI partners, and enterprise automation teams. Technical credibility without the documentation.
Architecture Overview
Five compounding steps from robot signal to reliable operations.
02 / Context
Join live and historical context into one queryable operational record.
03 / Govern
Apply access controls, approvals, and auditable operating workflows.
04 / Operate
Power teleop, intervention routing, and fleet command surfaces.
05 / Improve
Feed post-mission learning back into deployment and policy.
From siloed robot data → one accessible operating layer
Core Data + Control Surfaces
Unified interfaces for operations, diagnosis, and governance.
Telemetry + Events
Enterprise-grade controls with fleet-wide visibility across environments, time, and machine types.
Video + Imagery
Enterprise-grade controls with fleet-wide visibility across environments, time, and machine types.
Transforms + Maps
Enterprise-grade controls with fleet-wide visibility across environments, time, and machine types.
Command + Policy
Enterprise-grade controls with fleet-wide visibility across environments, time, and machine types.
AI Agent Access
Secure pathways for agentic systems to act in physical environments.
Route model outputs through policy-aware interfaces, with human-in-the-loop control and auditability before commands reach real machines.
Integration Model
Robot/OEM Layer
Neutral and extensible architecture designed for mixed fleets, mixed tools, and long-lived production deployments.
Formant Operating Layer
Neutral and extensible architecture designed for mixed fleets, mixed tools, and long-lived production deployments.
Enterprise Systems
Neutral and extensible architecture designed for mixed fleets, mixed tools, and long-lived production deployments.
Production Reality
Directionally impressive demos are not production systems.
Direction
Single environment, curated tasks, limited governance, and one-off integrations.
Production
Multi-site operations, reliability targets, operator workflows, policy enforcement, and continuous improvement loops.

FROM SILOED ROBOT DATA → ONE ACCESSIBLE OPERATING LAYER
Core Data & Control Surfaces
Six surfaces, one governed model.
Telemetry & time-series history
Continuous time-series capture, retained and queryable across the fleet.
Video, images & sensor context
Multi-sensor context tied to the moment and place it was captured.
Events, incidents & logs
Events, incidents, annotations, and logs unified into a reviewable record.
Commands, SSH & teleoperation
Bounded commands, workflows, SSH, and live teleoperation with operator control.
Device metadata & fleet state
Normalized device metadata and operational context across every vendor.
Permissions, roles & auditability
Role-based permissions and audit trails enforced across every surface.
AI Agent Access
Agents are useful only when they operate through governed context.
Route model outputs through policy-aware interfaces, with human-in-the-loop control and auditability before commands reach real machines.
Boundary
No direct model-to-actuator path. Every action is bounded, attributable, and reviewable.
Inspect fleet state and history
Conversational analysis over telemetry, events, images, logs & incidents
Run data analysis to surface patterns, anomalies & likely causes
Initiate bounded workflows or commands where allowed
Support objective-driven orchestration patterns with exception escalation
Integration Model
Integrated around the outcome, not a fixed catalog.
Implementation is tailored to fleet topology, customer systems, and operating model — with governed execution from day one.
Robot systems & vendor APIs
Connect robot-specific interfaces into one operational layer.
Customer systems & workflows
Integrate ticketing, alerting, identity, and operational workflows.
Site-specific telemetry & events
Ingest and normalize local sensor, event, and facility context.
Implementation services
Forward-deployed support to land outcomes and scale deployment safely.
What Is Real Today
A clear line between production and direction.
Production Today
Multi-vendor fleet visibility and governance
Operator workflows, incidents, and reviewable history
Bounded command execution and teleoperation
Auditable permissions, approvals, and policy controls
Direction
Objective-driven orchestration across systems
Expanded agentic analysis and workflow delegation
Greater automation with exception-first escalation
