Our Mission

Our mission is to identify, assist and facilitate researchers, scientists and individuals with great product or service ideas in their journey of transforming them into marketable solutions. Since our 2020 pilot in open-source robotics with SCUTTLE Global Open-source program, we are now offering solutions for learning in AI & Robotics under KROSS X platform and AI service platform for retails and services through AI.RA platform.

Our current focus areas:

KROSS X Robotics for All

Our Katapult Asia open-source solutions platform or KROSS X provides the learning environment and hardware kits for you to learn, build then accelerate your idea in solving real industry problems through multiple platforms from our partners and collaborators like SCUTTLE Robotics open-source mobile robotics hardware, Viam open-source software, Intel Robotics and Physical AI and many other open-source AI/LLM/VLA platform to create an interesting yet purposeful solutions.

AI.RA AI-driven Service Robotics

While we still have the healthy living for the elderly
through technologies as a priority area, we are expanding our AI-driven service robotics solutions into showroom and retail, hypermarket and supermarket, medical and elderly care, security and concierge segments. Since 2025 we have piloted service robots for the showroom, retail, elderly care and enterprise patrolling through students’ final year project and direct collaboration with strategic industry partners.
