MANIFESTO · Physical AI
For a decade, AI has been smart in the digital world;
but true intelligence will reshape the physical one.
Chatting, drawing, coding — that's digital AI. Making AI see defects, command robots and generate worlds that obey physics — that'sPhysical AI. What we build isvisual AI that works in the real world: faster to deploy, more accurate, more reliable.
And the strongest AI shouldn't require surrendering your data — data stays on-site, models train themselves, capability stays top-tier. That's what we mean by Sovereign AI.
WeLinkirt DaoAI · Sovereign Physical-AI pioneer
Sovereign Physical AI Data stays on-site. Capability doesn't.
Precision Detection. Actionable Insights.
A physical-AI foundation you can deploy fully on-prem — model automatically from one good sample, no CAD, no defect-image library; models train themselves, data never leaves your site, sharper with every use.

WHY NOW
The gap between awareness and action is the window.
China's tightening "15th Five-Year" legal framework is turning data security from a nice-to-have into a ticket to entry. IDC frames this path in three layers — data sovereignty (sensitive data never crosses borders) · technology sovereignty (core operations stay secure and controllable) · operational sovereignty (full autonomy for regulated industries). In Q2 2026, global sovereign-AI bellwether Palantir grew revenue 93% YoY and its stock jumped 29% on earnings day — capital markets have already proven this is a real, trillion-dollar category.

Large language models have erupted —
spatial intelligence is erupting now.
After language, AI's next frontier is to understand the 3D physical world. From 2025–2027, DaoAI focuses on spatial intelligence — machines that truly perceive space, reason about cause and effect, and interact with precision.
01
3D Spatial Understanding SPATIAL
From 2D pixels to 3D spatial modeling — reconstructing a scene's geometry, materials and structural relationships.
02
Physical-World Reasoning REASONING
Sense how and why objects move, reasoning about cause and consequence by the laws of physics.
03
Embodied Precise Interaction EMBODIED
Turn understanding into action — guiding robots to micron-level physical interaction in the real world.
KEY CHALLENGES
AI's last mile into the physical world.
After a decade of deep learning, four gaps still stand between the lab and the line.
01
High annotation cost
Traditional methods need 3000+ defect samples and 6–12 months of training; samples are hard to collect and scale.
02
Weak generalization
99% in the lab drops below 80% on site; every scene change means retraining, every line a new project.
03
Long deployment
3–6 months from lab to line, heavily reliant on AI engineers, with days of downtime per changeover.
04
Speed × accuracy trade-off
2D lacks depth and over-triggers on occlusion; limited edge compute makes industrial accuracy and line speed hard to reconcile.

FAQ
What you might want to know about DaoAI.
What does WeLinkirt DaoAI do?
WeLinkirt (DaoAI) is a physical-AI company. Its DaoAI World foundation model powers four product lines — industrial AI-AOI inspection, robotic vision, SkyVision intelligent surveillance and Wemio content creation — all focused on making AI work reliably in the real physical world.
How is DaoAI's AI inspection different from traditional AOI?
Traditional AOI relies on hand-written rules or thousands of defect samples and per-board manual programming. DaoAI uses feature cognition from a visual foundation model: it models from a single good sample — no CAD, no defect-image library — and keeps learning from line feedback, getting sharper with use.
How long does it take to deploy a line? Do I need CAD drawings or defect samples?
The software auto-programs and goes live in about 5 minutes from a single good sample — no CAD drawings and no pre-collected defect library — and line operators can run it themselves.
Is the data secure? Does it have to run in the cloud?
No cloud required. DaoAI supports 100% on-premise (private) deployment, keeping model weights and data on site, with flexible SDK / API / Docker integration to meet enterprise data-security and compliance needs.
What product lines does DaoAI offer?
Four product lines — industrial AI-AOI inspection (AI AOI software plus 2D and 3D AI AOI systems), robotic vision, SkyVision intelligent surveillance, and Wemio content creation — all built on the unified DaoAI World foundation model.
Which industries does DaoAI support?
Electronics / PCBA, semiconductor, automotive and parts, EV battery, pharma, food and agriculture, chemical, and consumer goods and general manufacturing.
