# Origin

> Building the world’s first General-Purpose Robots for Construction.

## Overview
Origin is a construction-tech company reinventing the physical world through robotics. We address the global labor shortage and stagnant productivity in construction by deploying autonomous, multi-trade robots designed for chaotic, real-world job sites.

## Core Philosophy: The "Smartphone of the Job Site"
Unlike "point solution" robots designed for single tasks, Origin is a general-purpose hardware platform. By swapping modular end-effectors, one robot can perform multiple trades:
- **Masonry & Bricklaying**
- **Wall Finishing & Painting**
- **Tiling**
- **Layout & Inspection**

## Technology Stack
- **Construction Foundation Models:** AI-first, multi-modal sensor fusion allowing robots to navigate dynamic, obstacle-filled environments.
- **Precision Autonomy:** Real-time perception and reasoning to adapt to moving crews and shifting materials.
- **Modular Hardware:** Rugged, construction-native platform with a quick-change tool system.
- **Data Flywheel:** Every hour on-site feeds back into the foundational AI model to improve fleet performance.

## Business Model
- **Model:** Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) / Rental-based.
- **Pricing:** Monthly fee per robot.
- **Service:** Origin manages deployment, maintenance, and continuous software upgrades. No upfront CAPEX for contractors.

## Leadership
- **Yogesh Ghaturle (CEO):** 2nd-time founder, formerly sold Perpule to Amazon.
- **Ashish Daga (Co-CTO):** Robotics inventor, IIT Kharagpur Gold Medalist, 10+ patents.
- **Tushar Makkar (Co-CTO):** AI/ML expert, 20+ patents, formerly Eightfold.ai and Rivigo.
