// About FOFOCA
An open robot governed by ThinkNEO, running on NVIDIA infrastructure.
FOFOCA (Fully Operational Feline-free Omniscient Companion Assistant) is an open, non-commercial household robot that operates 24/7 in a real residential environment.
It is not a product we sell. It's a proof that AI governance works not just in cloud APIs, but in the physical world where decisions have real consequences.
// Why it exists
Governance that works in the physical world
Most AI governance platforms only work with cloud APIs. FOFOCA proves that the same governance layer can govern a physical robot making real-time decisions in a home environment.
// Core hardware
Built on Raspberry Pi 5 — 8 GB.
Brain
Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB) running NVIDIA Nemotron Nano for local inference + Nemotron Ultra via cloud for complex reasoning.
Vision
Insta360 X4 providing 360-degree spatial awareness, object detection, and pet monitoring.
Body
Tank tracks for all-terrain indoor/outdoor navigation. Robotic arm for physical interactions.
Actuators
ESP32 microcontrollers for motor control, sensors, and low-level hardware communication.
// Governance architecture
Every decision governed and auditable
Runtime Guardrails
Hard limits on what the robot can do — enforced before a prompt ever reaches a model.
Immutable Audit Trail
Every decision the robot made, every tool call — logged, timestamped, tamper-proof.
Real-Time FinOps
Per-task cost attribution. The control plane knows how much each action costs, in real time.
// The team
Built by ThinkNEO
FOFOCA is developed by ThinkNEO — an enterprise AI control plane company and NVIDIA Inception member based in Hong Kong.
