Home / Physical AI

AI that controls a machine needs to know what the machine feels.

Most AI systems interpret data after the fact. In a battery, a seat or a robot gripper, a result that arrives late or without context has no value. FLEXOO builds the physical data layer: sensors placed where pressure, contact and heat actually occur.

The loop FLEXOO sensors feed

Each step runs close to where the system operates and passes straight into the next. Without the first one, the rest is estimation.

  1. Sensing

    Printed sensors at contact surfaces, inside materials and between cells.

  2. Data

    Real-time readings from real operation, not from simulation.

  3. Learning

    Models trained on how the system actually behaves.

  4. Validation

    Outcomes checked against measurements in the operating environment.

  5. Action

    Control decisions that respond to the physical state, closing the loop.

In validation with leading battery manufacturers, cell-level data from FLEXOO sensors showed capacity improvements of up to 5 %, without battery redesign or new chemistry.

The same data supports early warning systems that flag a failing cell before it becomes a safety event. FLEXOO's sensors also help pack makers meet the Chinese EV battery safety standard GB38031-2025.

Three conditions for usable physical data

FLEXOO's own definition of what a Physical AI system needs before any model is trained.

Captured where physics happens

Inside systems, at contact surfaces and under real operating conditions.

From real operation

Simulations and indirect measurement are not enough for learning systems.

Fit for validation

Data has to reflect actual behaviour so results can be tested, not only predicted.

Funded to scale

The €11M Series A, led by eCAPITAL and AUMOVIO with support from the EU InvestEU Fund, goes into three things.

  • International sales and supportFor customers leading in battery storage and automotive.
  • Platform prototypesThe advanced Physical AI platform, delivered to close partners first.
  • Foundational IPProtecting the platform and dexterous sensing for robotics.

Research partners include DFKI, the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence. FLEXOO also joined Siemens at CIIF 2026 to present Physical AI applications.
