Turn field challenges into research themes, evaluate them, and build a business around deployment.
We design collaborative R&D, PoC, publicly disclosable IP, product development and operation as one decision-making path.
We consider public R&D programs where the research theme and implementation team meet program requirements. Application services are not our core business, and we do not guarantee selection.
Discuss a collaborative R&D themeBuild from products, confirming the conditions for each next step
Current entry point
Evaluation and adoption of publicly introduced products. Supply scope and lead times are confirmed individually.
Project-specific development
Integration, prototyping, evaluation and joint development, with agreed responsibilities, data conditions and implementation rights.
Conditions for expansion
Expand to multiple devices or sites when demand, teams and rights are in place. Maintenance and updates are designed separately.
Products, tailored design, joint development and implementation support are combined as needed. Customer data and collaborative research results do not automatically become SLL assets.
Rights and confidentiality conditions are checked before reusing configurations, evaluation methods or software. We do not assume uncontracted recurring revenue or large-scale adoption by every customer.

Develop an invention across generations and borders.
AI models change. Patents on input remain.
AI evolves quickly. Yet the input layer that reads the physical world and the response layer that coordinates sensors remain essential across generations of models.
Our patents address these enduring layers: image fusion that turns darkness into full-color AI data (Japanese Patents 7680096 and 7680104), and automatic coordination from radio detection to optical tracking (Japanese Patent 7745946). As AI grows more capable, reliable data becomes more valuable.
Our IP is designed to build lasting value in the AI era.

FOR INVESTORS & PARTNERS
Advance Physical AI implementation with public IP and contractual relationships in view.
Standard Link is a Physical AI company connecting eyes (color night vision), brains (Edge AI), bodies (drones and robotics) and a heart (AI data centers) through one design approach.
We review public intellectual property and contractual relationships to design project-specific conditions for technical evaluation, PoC and product development.
Product adoption, individual evaluation and design, and collaborative R&D provide different entry points for each use case. We aim to apply configurations and evaluation methods from one project to other devices or sites, subject to rights and confidentiality conditions.
We distinguish proprietary technology, licensed technology, distribution rights and joint-development rights. Customer or research-institute results do not automatically become company assets. Compensation, responsibilities and ownership of results are explicitly defined.
