⭐ Power
Move our industry away from the Earth.
Extract the resources to power it from lifeless worlds.
Preserve our planet for future generations.
The Phigi company is working to make its vision of a life between the Earth and space a reality. Our goal is to accelerate the pace of space exploration without further damaging the fragile health of our planet, as most of humanity has done since the last industrial revolution. After an extended survey of current space habitat in development, we decided to focus our hardware development on assembling endless configurations of microrobots with no limits in terms of capacity, organically inspired architecture and power supply.
Phigi's ambition is to become the leading supplier of organically growing structures that can be constantly updated to adapt to hostile environments, for space or terrestrial exploration missions whose success depends on the resources at their disposal. With Phigi's programmable matter, a structure can change its shape and function with remote control and without external assistance, always using the same amount of matter.
Extension of living and storage space
In orbit
Launch
Docking & self-transfer
Self-assembly
Self-redeployment
The microrobots are designed to make the most of available storage of a rocket's payload. They transfer themselves from the rocket to the station's storage room before deploying themselves to expand pressurized or unpressurized space outside the existing volume in orbit. If requirements change between manned missions, they will redeploy to another expansion without the need to resupply the station with microrobots.
Organically grow structures that can be constantly updated
On the ground
Microrobots are also designed to fulfill a large variety of missions on the ground. The delivery and assembly processes are entirely automatic, and energy self-sufficient, controlled by remote computer. Once assembled, the structure made of microrobots is able to produce its own power from the thousands of micro solar cells in each microrobots.
Smart microrobotics technology
Self-powered
We are developing a microrobot that is self-powered, not relying on battery but on light harvesting, to process commands to start rolling around or to stop at its current position.
Self-contained
Its unique shape allows for thousands of them to be arranged in a lattice with up to 74% packing efficiency. Saving space with an increased structural resistance.
Self-unpacked
The ability to roll without losing contact enables the microrobots to travel distances from the storage area to the construction site, rolling on themselves or any conductive surface.
Self-assembled
Artificial intelligence copilot, alongside an expert pilot algorithm, can be used to learn and predict the optimal scenarios for each sequence of movements to assemble a structure, to change its shape, or to disassemble it, in the most energy and time efficient way.
Highly competitive
360g
Lighter than standard raw material and tools
When packed together in a strong lattice, 1U of microrobots can withstand strong acceleration while remaining lightweight.
2x
Larger structures when unpacked
When it's packed, the volume is reduced by about half. But when it's expanded, it increases tenfold.
5%
Solar arrays efficiency
Structures of microrobots can harvest their own power, and redirect the excess of energy to external systems.
74%
Packing efficiency
One of the best space-efficient lattice structure without compromising its integrity.
100%
Regenerative
Structures made of microrobots are able to regrow damaged parts.
3x
Fewer rocket trips
No tools for assembly, endless configurations, larger building capacity than storage volume.
100%
Reusable infrastructure
Structures can be disassembled to serve a new purpose without losing efficiency.
18s
Deploy 1U of microrobots
No requirement for trained construction engineers on site.
4mm
Diameter of a microrobot
Durable microrobot shape, optimized for structural resistance when assembled, and fast mobility for deployment or regeneration.
