Mk1

An AI model: an embodied reasoning model reasons about what a robot sees and what to do next. Its answer is typically a plan, a location or text rather than motor commands. This page describes the software, not a robot.

How to read the figures

50HzA: The letter in the grey square after a figure points to the source the figure came from. Pages with several sources carry several letters.

The four states

Versions and notes in the key figures (4)

Model type

Developer wording: "Mk1 is a frontier embodied reasoning model."

Controls

Note Launch post: "Mk1 is trained with structured spatial primitives (i.e., point, box, polygon, track, clip) as first-class outputs alongside text"

Inputs

Launch post: Mk1 "reasons over multiple camera streams jointly"; it also takes video and text prompts. Video and images = camera, text = language.

Access

Launch post: "Mk1 is available today via the Perceptron Platform and our updated SDK." Getting started lists the "API Model ID: perceptron-mk1".

The letter points to the source at the foot of the page. Fields without a figure are dashed: the developer does not state them — that is not the same as zero, and not the same as no.

The developer’s own claims
Learns new tasks	not stated	Note The few-example claim in the launch post is about visual inspection: Mk1 can "learn new defect classes from a handful of examples without fine-tuning". ⁠A
Works across robots	not stated	Note The launch post names no robot models: "Onboard embodied reasoning for manipulation and navigation: pointing for grasps, multi-view understanding across cameras, success detection on task attempts." ⁠A Yes only if the developer itself says the model runs on different robot models, for example robots from two manufacturers or two of one manufacturer’s models. Several units of the same robot do not count.
