About Us

Connectome

In the era of IoT, all the devices surrounding us like cars, drones, airplanes, home electronics, and robots are expected to be integrated.

We are building the integrated autonomous technology platform, "Connectome." Autonomous means a device moves like humans.

In the human body, IoT plays as our five senses, robotics as body, blockchain as blood and nerves, and AI as brain.

In the autonomous world, we have to search from a number of integrated devices and predict how to use them. Also, micro-payment system that will allow devices to automatically pay each other will be necessary.

By integrating AI, IoT, Robotics, and Blockchain, Connectome will achieve search, prediction and seamless payment execution in the autonomous world.
