Introduction

Learn how to assemble embodied intelligence with modular, composable blocks

Welcome to the Assembly Guide

This guide is for makers who want to build intelligence that lives and works in the real world.

You won't find step-by-step tutorials that assume one way of building. Instead, you'll find the principles, patterns, and building blocks that let you assemble systems your way — whether you're prototyping your first robot or scaling a fleet of autonomous agents.

What you'll learn

Why Humaan exists — The gap we're closing and the future we're building toward.

What Humaan is — An introduction to modular, embodied intelligence and how it works.

How to think about assembly — The conceptual foundations that guide how you compose capabilities into coherent systems.

How to build with Humaan — Practical guidance on working with blocks, integrating hardware, and deploying intelligence that adapts in real time.

Who this is for

This guide assumes you're comfortable with code and curious about building systems that interact with the physical world. You don't need a background in robotics or AI research — just a willingness to think in terms of composition, feedback, and embodiment.

How to use this guide

Start anywhere. If you want context on why Humaan exists, begin with the mission and strategy. If you want to understand the architecture, jump to the conceptual foundations. If you prefer to learn by building, go straight to the practical sections.

Intelligence is assembled, not prescribed. This guide follows the same principle.
