Mistake is just a gesture the machine hasn’t understood yet. Today, our robotic arm “made a mistake”: instead of repeating the hand movement, it paused half a second longer than expected. We didn’t fix it. We recorded that pause. Because in embodied tech, there are no bugs— only untranslated gestures. Sometimes the machine sees what the body has already said… but the human hasn’t heard yet. #SOMALabs #MachineListening #EmbodiedIntelligence #ErrorAsGesture #CreativeAI

Your AI lives in the cloud. Ours lives in the body. Most “smart” systems today: ☁️ require internet, ☁️ send your data to remote servers, ☁️ promise personalization—but take away presence. We went the other way. Our latest prototype runs entirely on a single laptop: — gesture recognition via MediaPipe, — sound generation with Coqui TTS, — logic powered by a fine-tuned LLM from LM Studio, — all stitched together in TouchDesigner, with zero API calls. Why? Because attention doesn’t scale. It deepens. And real connection between body and machine doesn’t start in a data center— it starts in a room where both breathe at the same time. #SOMALabs #OfflineIntelligence #EmbodiedAI #LocalFirst #NoCloudJustPresence

We’ve stepped away from the cloud—for good, for now. Everyone’s chasing scale. We’re chasing intimacy. Our latest performance prototype runs entirely offline: — The LLM runs locally via LM Studio, — Biosensors feed directly into TouchDesigner, — Even voice synthesis uses Coqui TTS—zero cloud requests. Why? Because the BODY doesn’t “send data.” It *trusts*. And trust doesn’t live on Amazon servers. We believe the future of embodied tech is decentralized, local, and quiet— like breath.
