Independent test facility · Canada
Prometai is a neutral proving ground with real homes, offices and work sites built inside. Robot makers, research labs and companies buying robots run repeatable trials and get evidence they can trust, before a robot ships or before they buy one.
Phase 1 (homes and offices) is in planning. Founding partners help decide what we build first.
01 — Why Prometai
Robots are usually evaluated in the developer's own space, on a handful of setups, with too few trials to say how often they really succeed.
Clutter, changing light, worn surfaces and unfamiliar objects break policies that looked solid in sim. You only find out in the real world.
Makers grade their own robots and buyers rely on vendor demos. There's no independent place to compare robots on the same tasks.
02 — Test zones
Each zone is a full-size set that we rearrange between trials: furniture moved, objects swapped, lighting changed. A robot never gets graded on a scene it has memorized.
A separate, secured zone with standard response-robot test lanes: mobility, dexterity, inspection and handling in tough conditions.
Planned for a later phase. Access will follow Canada's Controlled Goods Program requirements.
Option
Prefer not to ship hardware? Send us a policy checkpoint and we run it on our in-house robots, on the same tasks as everyone else.
Option
The same runs can be recorded as training data, including the failure cases your model needs most.
03 — How it works
Your robot or your model, the tasks that matter to you, and what counts as success.
Our team builds the setups, sources the objects and plans the variations, then resets everything between trials.
Trained operators run repeated trials without knowing which version is which, and log video and robot data for every run.
Success rates with confidence intervals, a searchable library of failure clips, and the raw logs.
04 — Who it's for
Show customers and investors results you didn't grade yourself, and find failure modes before your customers do.
Evaluate policies across many real scenes without building and maintaining them in your own space.
Bring two or three vendors, run your own tasks side by side, and decide on evidence instead of demos.
Public agencies and defence teams: talk to us about Phase 3.
05 — Founding partners
We're confirming demand before we build. Founding partners decide which zones and tasks come first, and get priority booking once Phase 1 opens.
Takes about two minutes. No commitment.
We read every response ourselves and will write to you at the email you gave us.
06 — FAQ
Not yet. We're signing founding partners and confirming demand before we build Phase 1.
In Canada. Site selection is under way: [CITY — TO CONFIRM].
No. Ship a robot if you want it tested as-is, or send a model and we'll run it on our in-house robots.
You do. Video, logs and reports from your trials belong to you unless we agree otherwise in writing.
We're designing our protocols around published methods, such as ASTM's standard test methods for response robots and ISO 13482 for personal care robots.
Later. A separate secured zone is planned for Phase 3, run under Canada's Controlled Goods Program.
