We’re hiring like crazy, come join us to ship millions of humanoid robots to the world

What's next?

The team is heads-down designing Generation 2 of the imaging system. We hope to have this complete and validated in 2025

We’ll then begin alpha testing with local schools in California

We’re pushing - this can't come soon enough; every week kids are dying

Technology, Generation 2

Design is currently underway for our 2nd generation system, and it's a radical upgrade:

> Cheaper per unit
> Increased field of view
> Enhanced AI detections
> Improved penetration through clothes/bags

Technology, Generation 1

Our first-generation system was completed this summer and is now operating daily in our lab

Real guns are used for training data and to test our in-house AI object detector

Our system is capable of detecting weapons through clothing/bags

Besides schools, this technology will work at any public venue:

> Stadiums
> Churches
> Hospitals
> Airports

And It’s not just weapons, it can also checks for explosives

In the long run, I believe most major venues will have weapon imaging systems like this

Why are we doing this?

School shootings are up ~10x from a decade ago - it's a problem that's getting significantly worse

I believe our solution at Cover can help to prevent these at scale (majority of shootings are unplanned)

This always shocks me, K-12 school shootings since 1966:

Cover has licensed intellectual property from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory related to high frequency terahertz imaging

Other updates:

> Team is 12 people, mostly engineering

> Offices in Bay Area & Pasadena

> Fully self funded; I’m my own VC

Company Overview:

Cover is designing concealed weapon detection imaging scanners, similar to airport scanners, but with 10x higher frequencies and up to 4-meter stand-off distances

It’s as safe for human bodies as home Wi-Fi
