Stop unsafe robot commands before a motor moves.

Kyntic is a small box that sits between your AI and your machines. It reads every command, checks it two ways, and only lets the safe ones through. When it blocks something, you get a text that explains what it stopped, in plain English.

How it works

One command, two checks, then the motor

Every instruction from your AI runs this path before a single motor turns. Pass both checks and it goes through. Fail either one and it never reaches the machine.

  1. 1

    Your AI asks the robot to do something

    The command can come from a model in the cloud or one running right on the Kyntic box.

  2. 2

    The AI judge reads it on the box

    A second AI checks the command against your own rules for this robot. It catches a hijacked prompt, a poisoned input, or a model that has drifted off track.

  3. 3

    The safety check runs the math on the box

    A deterministic check tests the actual motion against hard limits: reach, joint angles, speed, force, and keep-out zones around people. The answer is only ever pass or fail.

  4. 4

    Only approved commands reach the motors

    Clear both checks and the command goes through. Fail either one and Kyntic blocks it before anything moves, then texts you why.

Blocked

When Kyntic stops a command, you get a text

Why it's different

Most tools watch. Kyntic stops.

Wherever an AI can move a motor, Kyntic sits between the model and the machine and refuses any command that breaks your rules. Other tools only tell you after the fact.

Two checks

An AI judge and a math judge

One AI reads the intent and weighs it against your rules. A separate deterministic check runs the hard physics. A command has to pass both before it reaches a motor. If the AI judge is ever fooled, the math still has to hold.

Preventative

It blocks, it doesn't just warn

Alerting tools tell you after the damage is done. Kyntic sits in the command path and drops the unsafe instruction before the robot moves. The motor never gets the order.

Provable

Refusals that survive the model

Every command and every block is written to a signed, append-only log. Even if the AI is compromised, your refusals stay provable to an outside reviewer. Nothing to take on faith.

Setup

How you set it up

One real cable, then your rules. We do the hard part before the box ships.

Wire it to your robot

Connect the box to your robot's motor network: CAN bus, EtherCAT, or EtherNet/IP. That is the one cable that matters.

Send your AI through it

Run your model right on the box, or point a cloud model at it. Either way, every command now passes through Kyntic first.

Confirm your rules

We preload your robot's limits and your safety rules before it ships. Review them, change them, and approve them any time.

Power on

It checks every command from the very first one. Nothing reaches the motors unchecked.

Failsafe

If the box fails, the robot stops

Kyntic fails closed. If it loses power or faults, a hardware relay brings the robot to a controlled stop instead of letting raw commands through. When in doubt, nothing moves. We can break; your machine still ends up safe.

Under the hood

Built to be trusted

Two checks that can't interfere with each other, on industrial hardware made for the factory floor.

A real boundary lives outside the model

A safety check that runs inside the same computer as the AI can be fooled by the same attack that fools the AI. So Kyntic keeps the two apart. The AI judge runs on a high-performance accelerator. The deterministic check runs on its own isolated safety processor that does not trust the judge or the model above it. If one is fooled, the other still holds the line.

Your limits are an operating envelope you can read, change, and approve, not a black box. And every command and every block is written to a signed, append-only log, so your refusals stay provable to a safety or insurance review long after the moment has passed.

The deterministic checks are designed to map to the robot-safety and functional-safety standards your team already has to meet.

Why this exists

Safety teams can't sign off on a black box

Companies want AI to run their machines. Safety teams can't approve a system that might do the wrong thing. Kyntic gives them a hard line they can trust.

AI doesn't always get it right

Models hallucinate, get tricked by prompt injection, and drift over time. One bad command to a heavy arm is a real accident, not a bad chat reply.

The damage is physical

A wrong move doesn't leak data. It crashes a machine, ruins a part, or hurts the person standing next to it. You can't undo it.

A guardrail in the model isn't a boundary

A check that runs inside the AI can be fooled by the same attack that fools the AI. A real boundary lives outside the model and judges the command itself.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers. Read the full FAQ.

Will it slow my robot down?
The deterministic check is built to run in real time, inside the command path. It adds a small, fixed delay measured in milliseconds, not a judgment that varies from command to command. The AI judge runs on a dedicated chip on the box so it keeps up with the stream.
Can the AI talk the box out of blocking it?
No. The deterministic check never reads the AI's words or reasoning. It checks the actual motion against hard physical limits, on a separate processor that does not trust the AI. Even if the AI is fooled by a clever prompt, the math still has to pass before a motor moves.
Where does the AI run, on the box or in the cloud?
Either works. Run your model right on the box, or point a cloud model at it. Every command gets checked the same way before it reaches the robot.
Does it work with our robot?
If your robot speaks CAN bus, EtherCAT, or EtherNet/IP, yes. That covers most industrial arms, humanoids, mobile robots, and grippers. We load your robot's limits and your safety rules before the box ships, so it's tuned to your machine from the moment you power it on.
What happens if the box loses power?
It fails closed. A hardware relay brings the robot to a controlled stop instead of letting unchecked commands through. The box can break and your machine still ends up safe. This is the opposite of a network device that fails open to keep traffic flowing.
How are the two checks kept separate?
They run on different parts of the hardware. The AI judge runs on the main processor. The deterministic check runs on an isolated safety processor that does not trust the AI judge or the model above it at all. It only ever evaluates the physical command against fixed limits.
