Future of Smart Machines (FSM) and PAI Physical Capability CIC are a social enterprise partnership. We provide Parliamentary presence, open standards advocacy, and ecosystem convening — so Physical AI serves people, not profit.
Our founding principle: nothing about us without us. Disabled people co-design every system we build or commission. Full stop.
Read our full story →Eight pillars of transformation that move disabled people from dependency to full independence. Here are three.
Physical AI provides continuous presence — monitoring, prompting, assisting — at the cost of a 2-hour human care package. A 10× coverage expansion that gives people back their nights and weekends.
User-controlled cobotic systems restore privacy and autonomy — responding to your own commands, removing the need for an unknown carer's presence in your most intimate moments.
Physical AI infrastructure doesn't depend on where you live. A care robot works in a rural Welsh farmhouse as effectively as central London. Quality care becomes a universal right, not a geographic accident.
No single company or country should control the AI that shapes disabled people's lives. A global coalition is building frontier AI as open infrastructure — designed from the start to be safe, sovereign, and centred on people who need it most.
Closed, proprietary AI leaves disabled people as consumers. Open ecosystems mean communities, charities, and SMEs can adapt, audit, and improve the AI that shapes their lives. Open AI is not just better engineering — it is a civil rights question.
Explore Project Tapestry →"Project Tapestry is a test of whether frontier AI can be built as open infrastructure: collaborative, capable, and sovereign by design."
This is the 10× thesis. Not 10% better. Not incrementally improved. A different model — one where 1.3 billion disabled people are served by a system designed around their potential.
