The Robot That
Respects Human Values
WISeRobot is the world's first post-quantum–secure robot designed from the ground up to embed dignity, fairness, and human oversight at its core.
"The future of robotics does not have to choose between performance and principles."
WISeRobot is an ambitious initiative to create the world's first post-quantum–secure robot explicitly designed to embed human values at its core — a convergence of advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, secure semiconductors, and ethical governance.
We're building a living laboratory for governance and policy innovation, aligning with emerging international standards for trustworthy AI and robotics — and with the broader HUMAN-AI-T Manifesto championed at Davos 2026.
Four Pillars of
Trustworthy Robotics
Every layer of WISeRobot is built with security, accountability, and human alignment as first-class properties — not afterthoughts.
Post-Quantum Cryptography
PQC embedded directly into hardware and software architecture. Secure chips provide cryptographic roots of trust that resist both classical and future quantum attacks.
Value-Centric AI
Principles like dignity, fairness, compassion, justice, and privacy are translated into concrete technical mechanisms — including value-aligned datasets and explainable decision pathways.
Verifiable Digital Identity
Each robot is endowed with a secure digital identity, enabling full traceability, authenticated interactions, and clear attribution of responsibility throughout its lifecycle.
Governance & Policy Innovation
A living laboratory for international standards and regulatory approaches, aligning with global efforts like the HUMAN-AI-T initiative to build an ethical constitution for AI.
Built for a
Quantum-Threat World
Explore how each technology layer protects the robot's identity and ensures trust at every level.
-
Cryptographic Root of TrustHardware-level PQC chips that anchor the robot's entire identity chain.
-
Human-in-the-Loop TrainingSupervised learning models that keep human oversight mandatory at every step.
-
Explainable Decision PathsEvery action traced and auditable — no black-box decisions in the field.
-
Enforced Ethical ConstraintsHard-coded value boundaries that cannot be overridden by learned behaviour.
Values Encoded
in Silicon
WISeRobot translates universal human principles into enforceable, verifiable technical mechanisms.
The Journey Ahead
From research to real-world deployment — building the world's first truly trustworthy robot.
Project Inception & Architecture
WISeRobot project officially launched by WISeKey. Core architecture designed with PQC and value-alignment as foundational layers.
PQC Hardware Integration
Post-quantum cryptographic chips integrated into first hardware prototype. Identity framework validated against NIST PQC standards.
Value-Alignment Engine
Training the value-aware AI on human-curated ethical datasets. Human-in-the-loop model refinement and explainability audits in progress.
Governance Framework & Pilot Deployments
Aligning with international AI governance standards. First controlled pilot deployments in regulated environments.
Global Reference Architecture
WISeRobot published as an open reference model for trustworthy robotics, adopted by policymakers and industry partners worldwide.
Shape the Future
of Ethical Robotics
We're partnering with researchers, policymakers, and organizations committed to building AI and robotics that serve humanity — not replace it.
