Physical AI hardware startup

Hardware trust for machines that act in the real world.

Celestial State builds the layer that sits between your robots and their actions — approving every high-stakes move against policy, signing the proof, and keeping a record you can stand behind.

Every consequential machine action needs a decision point — not just a log.

Software can be rolled back. A robot arm that lifts the wrong load, a vehicle that crosses the wrong boundary, or a production line that changes state unexpectedly cannot be undone. Celestial State puts a governed decision point before the action happens.

Identify

Confirm the machine's identity, its assigned mission, operator, zone, and permitted action types.

Authorize

Allow, deny, or escalate every high-stakes action before it executes — not after.

Sign

Issue a tamper-proof receipt recording the policy, timestamp, machine state, and who approved it.

Replay

Export the signed evidence trail for incident reviews, insurers, and regulatory audits.

The regulatory and risk environment for autonomous machines is changing fast.

EU Machinery Regulation takes full effect, requiring documented evidence trails for AI-driven safety decisions.

EU Regulation 2023/1230

Industrial robots operating worldwide today — and autonomy is moving from pilots into production.

IFR World Robotics

Established products for hardware-rooted, per-action proof of physical AI decisions. This category does not exist yet.

The machine cannot be the judge of its own actions.

The decision about whether an action is allowed — and the signed proof it happened — must live outside the machine that took the action. Start passively in shadow mode, then move to active enforcement once the pilot shows value.

Trust anchor

A dedicated secure appliance that holds signing keys and issues tamper-proof action receipts.

Inline control

Fast inline decisions for high-risk actions, with pre-approved signed tokens for routine operations.

Tamper resistance

Cryptographically chained receipts that the machine itself cannot alter or delete.

OEM integration

Ready-built adapters for ROS2, PLCs, fleet managers, and machine controllers.

Built for teams that need defensible proof, not just monitoring.

Warehouse robotics

Authorize and log every pick, lift, route, and zone entry — with proof you can show after an incident.

Industrial automation

Signed receipts for every cobot action, workcell operation, and production-state change.

Mobile robots

Enforce geofence and payload rules, with automatic escalation to human operators when needed.

Machine OEMs

A built-in trust layer that ships with your machine and helps customers meet compliance requirements.

Bring hardware-rooted proof to your autonomous machines.

We work with robotics OEMs, warehouse automation teams, and autonomous fleet operators who need proof they can stand behind.
