The robotics landscape is shifting fast, and Formant F3 is at the center of this transformation. With the launch of its new platform, Formant is not just tweaking the way robots are managed—it’s redefining what’s possible by introducing Generative AI and Agentic Reasoning directly into the heart of robot operations.
Enterprises are embracing AI at record speed: 72% of organizations now use AI, and 71% deploy generative AI in at least one business function. Yet, while robots themselves are getting smarter, the traditional software used to manage them has lagged behind. The real challenge isn’t the robots—it’s the outdated management layer that can’t keep up with the intelligence of modern machines.
Formant F3 is built from the ground up for this new reality. It’s not just about managing robots anymore; it’s about orchestrating intelligence across entire fleets, making robotics operations more accessible, predictive, and autonomous.
Voice Command: F3 introduces a generative AI interface that responds instantly to both voice and text commands. Users can ask questions, generate live data visualizations, or even control robots and fleets in real time—making hands-free operation a reality.
AI Insights: A 24/7 intelligence layer monitors, analyzes, and proactively recommends actions. It predicts failures, detects anomalies, and summarizes incidents with root causes and recommended next steps.
Smart Knowledge Base: This AI-powered system turns scattered documentation into actionable answers. It understands technical documents, diagrams, and SOPs—delivering instant, context-aware responses.
Deep Research: Autonomous AI agents conduct multi-step investigations, identifying root causes and recurring patterns across data and systems. This enables predictive maintenance and continuous improvement.
These features are layered on top of Formant’s existing strengths in fleet management, teleoperation, mission control, and performance analytics—capabilities already trusted by major enterprises like Softbank and BP.
Formant’s ambition goes beyond just connecting robots to AI models. The goal is to create a Physical AI ecosystem where machines, AI, and enterprise systems work in harmony. Most solutions today focus on perception, but F3 brings in context—integrating with business systems like ERPs, data warehouses, and ticketing platforms to ensure that robotic intelligence is always relevant and actionable.
| The Brain | The Body | The Context |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced AI models (like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) and reasoning algorithms that plan, decide, and act | Robots and machines that sense, adapt, and execute tasks autonomously | Seamless integration with enterprise systems (Google Drive, Jira, etc.) for business alignment |
By unifying these elements, Formant aims to do for the physical world what ChatGPT has done for the digital world: make complex, distributed intelligence accessible and actionable at scale.
With F3, operations teams can move from manual oversight to intelligent coordination. The platform eliminates fragmentation, simplifies orchestration, and empowers teams to manage complex robot fleets with greater speed and insight. It’s a leap toward a future where machines don’t just execute commands—they collaborate, learn, and improve the entire system with every action.
