ferri

The Operating System for Physical AI

From Generative Pixels to Physical Atoms

BITS

Generative Era

"Write me an email"
"Fix this bug"
"Summarize research"

ATOMS

Agentic Era

"Clean the kitchen"
"Assemble box"
"Handoff to the sorting arm"

The Missing Bridge

Robots are dumb. AI is dangerous.

  • The Brain (LLMs): Smart, but hallucinates. No physical safety.
  • The Body (Hardware): Precise, but rigid. "Integration Hell" for developers.
  • Core Message: ferri connects the Brain to the Body.

The Intelligent Director

Orchestrating reality.

  • Manage: The "Boss." Orchestrates workflows & memory.
  • Connect: Universal Adapter ($50 arm to $50k bot).
  • Act: Edge Intelligence & Safety reflexes.

Built for Reality

The Rust Advantage.

  • Memory Safe: Zero memory corruption crashes (critical for safety).
  • Actor Model: Deterministic behavior in a chaotic world.
  • Flight Recorder: Immutable logs for every physical action.
POWERED BY RUST

The Control Plane

Hybrid Orchestration.

Project Abel

The $40 Proof of Concept.

ferri is the OS. Abel is just the Proof.

Android for Robots

Democratizing Physical AI.

  • Platform Play: We provide OS, others provide bodies.
  • License: BSL 1.1 (Free for hackers, monetized at scale).
  • Integration Cost: ~$50 (ferri) vs $50k+ (Legacy).

The Architects

Uniquely qualified to bridge Atoms and Bits.

Gretchen Boria, PhD

Product & Research Lead

  • PhD researcher bringing government & industry rigor to AI.
  • Expert in Agentic Workflows and "Human-in-the-Loop" protocols.

Jorge A. Jiménez

Engineering & Systems Lead

  • Architect of the ferri OS (Rust) and the live embedded demo.
  • 10+ years engineering enterprise distributed systems.

Freedom of Hardware.

  • Validated: Google Meetup (Sept '25) & $40 Robot Demo (Dec '25).
  • Goal: Scale from side-project to product.
  • Need: Talent (Hackathons) & Labs (Hardware R&D).
