Trener Robotics is a Physical AI company building the intelligence layer for industrial robots. Headquartered in San Jose, California and Trondheim, Norway, we transform robots from rigid, scripted machines into intelligent, self-learning systems that operate reliably in real production environments. Our approach replaces traditional point-to-point programming with training rather than hard-coding, enabling greater flexibility and autonomy. At the core of our platform is Acteris, a standard robot operating brain and integration suite that powers a growing library of production-ready skills. Built on foundation models that combine vision, language, and action understanding, Acteris enables intuitive, scalable automation while keeping deployments repeatable through trusted partners. To advance embodied intelligence, we operate T-Labs, our dedicated R&D engine for robotic skill development and validation. Together, Acteris and T-Labs enable software-defined automation that delivers unprecedented adaptability on the factory floor.

Variant Security is the first company to bring an industrialized anti-AI-exploitation technology to market. Rather than racing to patch vulnerabilities faster than AI can discover them, we eliminate the scalability of exploits at the binary level. Our compiler-level technology makes every device in a fleet run its own structurally unique binary, with no code changes and no performance impact. We protect software fleets in aerospace, defense, and critical infrastructure.

Swarmer develops software systems that allow unmanned vehicles to act autonomously and work together in large teams. Its systems are centered on ethical AI and require humans to make all life-or-death decisions, while also allowing computers to do what they do best—processing large quantities of information and reacting to the rapidly changing environment in split seconds. Swarmer has successfully demonstrated swarms of up to 25 drones working together in GNSS-denied environments. In the near future, it plans to demonstrate combined-arms operations involving 100+ drones of various kinds, working in concert to seamlessly integrate UAS, USV, UGV, and stationary launchers into a single swarm that functions as one unit. Beyond defense applications, Swarmer’s hardware-agnostic platform positions the company to transform civilian markets from precision agriculture and emergency response to infrastructure inspections and environmental monitoring.
