Abstract

A technical overview of the six-layer architecture shared by every MANUSH machine.

Abstract

We describe the MANUSH core intelligence stack — a six-layer architecture intended to let one intelligence platform inhabit many robot bodies.

Layers

  1. SENSE — Vision, Audio, Touch, Depth, Force, Proprioception
  2. UNDERSTAND — Perception, Language, Spatial AI, World Model
  3. THINK — Reasoning, Planning, Memory, Prediction
  4. ACT — Locomotion, Manipulation, Navigation, Tool Use
  5. LEARN — Demonstration, Experience, Simulation, Fleet Learning
  6. IMPROVE — Cloud, Models, Skills, Software Updates

Sovereign architecture

Edge-first processing, cloud-assisted heavy models, offline operation, authenticated OTA updates, cryptographic robot identity and a safety kernel that high-level AI cannot bypass.
