Embodied AI
for the humanoid
era.
ALVPHA Tech develops an ARM-native, hardware-agnostic embodied AI framework for humanoid robotics — one coherent stack from NVIDIA Grace Blackwell training clusters to Jetson Thor edge deployment.
Backed by leading startup programs.
ALVPHA Tech has been accepted into two of the leading global programs for AI and deep-tech startups — with access to technology, cloud resources, funding, and network.

One stack,
edge to data
center.
The next generation of robotics is no longer hypothetical. Figure, Boston Dynamics, Agility, Tesla Optimus, Unitree and 1X are scaling humanoid platforms toward commercial deployment between 2026 and 2028.
But the AI stack behind these robots remains fragmented. Training happens on x86 datacenter GPUs. Deployment runs on ARM edge silicon. Every transition costs engineering effort, introduces quantization drift, and burns energy that mobile humanoids cannot afford.
ALVPHA Tech eliminates this gap. Our framework runs natively on ARM throughout — from training on NVIDIA Grace Blackwell to inference on Jetson Thor, with energy efficiency as a first-class design constraint, not an afterthought.
Who is building ALVPHA.
“Humanoids will move from labs into production between 2026 and 2030. Whoever owns the stack then shapes the next two decades of robotics. ALVPHA Tech is our answer — built in Germany, designed for the world.”
20+ years of software engineering across numerous projects. Technical ownership of the ALVPHA embodied-AI stack — from ML architecture and robotics integration to the edge-deployment pipeline on Jetson Thor.
