9N AI Materials is leading the evolution from digital to physical intelligence — embedding AI into the fabric of materials themselves. Our technology bridges computation and chemistry, creating systems that sense, learn, and adapt across robotics, biology, and architecture.
9N is building Physical AI — computation embedded directly into material itself.
Traditional products rely on internal chips, circuit boards and remote servers. Physical AI removes that dependency. The material itself senses, processes and responds.
A desk surface can recognise interaction without embedded electronics.
A television can be built from computational material where the display itself performs the processing — removing traditional internal circuitry and enabling thinner, lighter systems.
A structural panel can detect internal stress and adjust before failure.
There is no added computer.
The structure is the computer.
When intelligence becomes a property of matter, any physical object — from consumer products to infrastructure to exploration systems — can compute, adapt and operate autonomously.
This is the transition from intelligent machines to an intelligent world.
Physical AI transforms products and environments by embedding computation directly into the materials they are made from.
Consumer electronics can eliminate traditional motherboards, as computational material replaces internal circuitry — enabling ultra-thin, lighter and more durable devices.
Furniture and work surfaces can detect presence, pressure and interaction, adapting behaviour without sensors or external processors.
Buildings and infrastructure can monitor structural integrity internally, detecting stress, vibration or environmental change in real time without separate monitoring systems.
Industrial components can sense wear within their own structure and adjust load or performance before failure.
Instead of adding more hardware, intelligence becomes part of the material itself — simplifying design while increasing resilience, efficiency and lifespan.
The built world becomes self-aware.
9N develops synthetic graphene-based skin with embedded neural architecture — a surface that senses, processes and adapts within its own structure.
For robotics, this creates embodied intelligence. The skin detects pressure, temperature, vibration and environmental context, allowing machines to adjust grip, balance and response instantly. Over time, behaviour can adapt to usage patterns and environment, enabling systems to develop context-aware operational profiles.
Beyond robotics, intelligent surfaces extend into aerospace, protective systems and extreme environments.
In space, Physical AI enables both intelligent spacecraft surfaces and fully autonomous material systems capable of self-diagnosis, radiation adaptation and energy regulation without constant ground control.
In military systems, intelligent materials can be integrated into vehicles, drones, protective equipment and structural components — enabling real-time stress monitoring, adaptive response and reduced reliance on exposed electronic subsystems.
Intelligence becomes embedded across every layer of the system — from surface to structure.
Resilience becomes structural.
