| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation
These financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| Warrants | Warrants
We have issued certain warrants that are classified as either liabilities or equity. Warrants classified as liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting period end. Prefunded warrants for which the only valuation input is the quoted price of our common stock are valued using observable market prices and, when outstanding, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. All other liability-classified warrants are valued using an option pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes model, which incorporates inputs including the expected volatility of our common stock, the expected term of the warrant, a risk-free interest rate based on U.S. Treasury yields, and an expected dividend yield of zero. Because these valuations include significant unobservable inputs, such warrants are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of liability-classified warrants are recognized in earnings in the period of change.
For equity-classified warrants, fair value is measured at issuance with no subsequent remeasurement. |
| Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. We view our operations and manage our business as one operating segment. |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We place our cash and cash equivalents in highly liquid instruments with, and in the custody of, financial institutions with high credit ratings. |
| Investments | Investments
Investments may be comprised of a combination of marketable securities, including U.S. government securities, corporate debt securities, commercial paper, time deposits, and certain certificates of deposit, which are all designated as available-for-sale and reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income which is included within stockholders’ equity.
Available-for-sale marketable securities with maturities greater than three months at the date of purchase are included in short-term investments in our consolidated balance sheets. Interest, dividends, amortization and accretion of purchase premiums and discounts on these investments are included within interest income in our consolidated statements of operations.
The cost of available-for-sale investments sold is based on the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale investments are recorded in other income (expense), net.
We regularly review all of our investments for declines in fair value. The review includes but is not limited to (i) the consideration of the cause of the decline, (ii) any currently recorded expected credit losses and (iii) the creditworthiness of the respective security issuers. The amortized cost basis of our investments approximates its fair value. |
| Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivable primarily consist of trade receivables, which represent amounts owed to us by customers for products and services provided. These receivables are presented net of any rebates, price protection adjustments, and an allowance for credit losses. In addition to trade receivables, our accounts receivable also include unbilled receivables. These primarily relate to work completed on development services for which revenue has been recognized but not yet invoiced to customers. We expect these unbilled receivables to be billed and collected within twelve months.
We actively manage our exposure to customer credit risk through various measures, including credit limits, credit lines, ongoing monitoring procedures, and credit approvals. We perform in-depth credit evaluations of all new customers and periodically reassess the creditworthiness of existing customers. If deemed necessary, we may require letters of credit, bank or corporate guarantees, or advance payments to mitigate credit risk.
To account for potential losses from uncollectible accounts, we maintain an allowance for credit losses. This allowance considers both specific troubled accounts and an overall estimate of potential uncollectible receivables based on historical experience and current credit quality assessments. As of December 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses was $99, compared to $103 as of December 31, 2024. We believe that our rigorous credit risk management practices and the allowance for credit losses adequately address the potential risks for uncollectible accounts. |
| Inventories | Inventories
We value inventory at standard cost, adjusted to approximate the lower of actual cost or estimated net realizable value using assumptions about future demand and market conditions. In determining excess or obsolescence reserves for our products, we consider assumptions such as changes in business and economic conditions, other-than-temporary decreases in demand for our products, and changes in technology or customer requirements. In determining the lower of cost or net realizable value reserves, we consider assumptions such as recent historical sales activity and selling prices, as well as estimates of future selling prices. We fully reserve for inventories and non-cancellable purchase orders for inventory deemed obsolete. We perform periodic reviews of inventory items to identify excess inventories on hand by comparing on-hand balances and non-cancellable purchase orders to anticipated usage using recent historical activity as well as anticipated or forecasted demand. If estimates of customer demand diminish further or market conditions become less favorable than those projected by us, additional inventory carrying value adjustments may be required. |
| Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets
Our intangible assets consist of multiple systems purchased for our robotic product. These assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of 10 years.
We assess our intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. In addition, a formal review is performed at each fiscal year-end. If such indicators are present, we perform a recoverability test by comparing the asset’s carrying amount to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or the asset group to which it belongs. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. Fair value is typically determined based on discounted cash flow models or, when available, observable market data. |
| Mezzanine Equity | Mezzanine Equity
We classify certain equity instruments as mezzanine equity when they contain redemption features that are not solely within our control. Under ASC 480-10-S99-3A and SEC Regulation S-X Rule 5-02, instruments that are redeemable for cash or other assets upon the occurrence of events not solely within our control are presented outside of permanent equity in a separate mezzanine section of the consolidated balance sheets.
Mezzanine equity instruments are initially measured at fair value on the issuance date. Subsequent measurement is based on the estimated redemption value, with changes in the carrying amount recognized through accretion to retained earnings (or additional paid-in capital if retained earnings is insufficient) as redemption becomes probable. We classify mezzanine equity in a separate caption between liabilities and stockholders’ equity on the balance sheet and disclose the terms of each issue, including redemption features and dividend rights. |
| Rights and Privileges of Common Stock | Rights and Privileges of Common Stock
Pursuant to our second amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, our authorized capital stock consists of an aggregate of 110,000,000 shares of common stock, including 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 1,000,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, and 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock. The following description summarizes the material terms of our securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our second amended and restated articles of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws.
Except as otherwise required by Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), each holder of Class A common stock is entitled to ten (10) votes in respect of each share of Class A common stock held by him, her, or it of record on our books, and each holder of Class B common stock is entitled to one (1) vote in respect of each share of Class B common stock held by him, her, or it of record on our books, in connection with the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Each share of Class A common stock is convertible into one share of Class B common stock at any time at the option of the holder, but Class B common stock shall not be convertible into Class A common stock under any circumstances. Holders of our common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, or redemption rights. |
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when we transfer promised goods or services to our customers, in amounts that reflect the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as we fulfill our obligations under each agreement, we perform the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) we satisfy each performance obligation. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer.
For arrangements that bundle robotic products, maintenance, and technical support services, we exercise significant judgment in determining whether these items are distinct. Robotic products are typically considered distinct performance obligations as customers can benefit from the product on its own. Maintenance and technical support services, which may include scheduled inspections, repairs, remote troubleshooting, and spare parts provisions, are generally considered distinct performance obligations when they are separately priced, optional, and can be performed by another vendor. However, when these services are embedded as a mandatory component of a bundled contract (e.g., a RaaS arrangement) and are integral to the promised continuous operational capability, they are not considered distinct and are combined with the overall service promise as a single performance obligation. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price, which is determined based on observable standalone sales or, if not available, estimated using expected cost-plus-margin approaches.
We recognize revenue when control of a promised good or service transfers to a customer. Control can transfer at a point in time or over time. Revenue from the sale of robotic products is recognized at a point in time, typically upon shipment or delivery when legal title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. This is assessed based on the terms of sale (e.g., Free On Board shipping point or Free On Board destination) and when the customer obtains physical possession, bears the risk of loss, and has an unconditional obligation to pay. Revenue from Robotics-as-a-Service (“RaaS”) arrangements is recognized over time, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of our continuous provision of robotic functionality, maintenance, and technical support services. We use the straight-line method of recognition over the contract term as the most faithful depiction of the transfer of services, unless evidence suggests another method better reflects the pattern of performance. The assessment of whether control transfers over time is based on the criteria in ASC 606, including whether (a) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes benefits as we perform, or (b) our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to us and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. Our contracts contain fixed consideration. We do not offer variable consideration elements such as usage-based fees, price concessions, rebates, penalties, or performance bonuses. Therefore, the transaction price for all contracts equals the fixed, non-refundable amount stated in the contract.
At contract inception, we assess the customer’s ability and intent to pay the promised consideration. A contract is only accounted for under ASC 606 if it is probable we will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it is entitled. This collectability assessment involves evaluating the customer’s creditworthiness using both quantitative and qualitative factors. For new customers, this includes reviewing credit ratings (if available), financial statements, and payment history with other parties. For existing customers, we review historical payment patterns, current financial health, and the impact of prevailing economic conditions. If, after contract inception, a significant deterioration in a customer’s creditworthiness indicates that collectability of substantially all of the remaining consideration is no longer probable, we cease to recognize additional revenue and assess the need for a credit loss provision on any recognized contract assets or receivables.
Product Revenue
We generate revenue through the sale of our branded robotic products directly to customers. We consider customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with our customers. There is a single performance obligation in all our contracts, which is our promise to transfer our product to customers based on specific payment and shipping terms in the arrangement. The entire transaction price is allocated to this single performance obligation. Product revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of our product, which occurs at a point in time and may be upon shipment or delivery, based on the terms of the contract.
Revenue from Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS)
As part of our evolving business model, we generate revenue through our Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) offerings, which provide customers with ongoing access to our robotic solutions under long-term contracts. For RaaS agreements, revenue is recognized over time on a monthly basis as the services are provided and the customer benefits from the use of the robotic solutions.
The transaction price is typically fixed and allocated evenly across the contract term. Revenue recognition begins once the robots are installed and operational at the customer’s site. We account for RaaS arrangements under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. These contracts provide customers with continuous usage of our robotic products, maintenance, and technical support services, in exchange for a fixed fee. We have determined that these are service contracts, as the customer is contracting for an integrated service output and we retain substantial ownership risks and control over the deployed robotic assets, including responsibility for maintenance, upgrades, and ensuring uptime. The customer does not have the right to direct the use of, nor obtain substantially all the economic benefits from, a specifically identified asset. Revenue from these fixed-fee contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual service period as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations as of the balance sheet date. This amount relates primarily to the fixed consideration in non-cancelable RaaS contracts for which revenue is recognized over time.
As of December 31, 2025, the total amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $1,722. Of this amount, $870 is expected to be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months, $575 is expected to be recognized between 13 and 24 months, and the remaining $277 is expected to be recognized beyond 24 months.
Contract assets and contract liabilities
We maintain contract-related balance sheet accounts under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which primarily arise from RaaS arrangements.
Contract Assets (Unbilled Receivables) represent revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied but not yet billed as of the balance sheet date. These assets are generated when revenue is recognized over time under RaaS contracts, while invoicing occurs on a periodic or milestone basis. Contract assets are reclassified to accounts receivable when the right to payment becomes unconditional.
Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue) consist of payments received from customers in advance of performance. These liabilities relate primarily to advance payments for RaaS subscriptions and are recognized as revenue as the related services are provided over the contract term. As of December 31, 2025, the balance of contract liabilities was $434.
Other Revenue Policies
Sales, value add, and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.
We do not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised products to the customer will be one year or less, which is the case with substantially all customers.
We recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. These costs are included in selling expenses.
We account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products. We record the related costs within cost of goods sold. |
| Research and Development Costs | Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs primarily consist of employee-related expenses, including salaries and benefits, facilities costs, depreciation, and other allocated expenses. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. |
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes). The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. We determine deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term “more likely than not” means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment.
We recognize interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense. |
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard-setting bodies as of specified dates as regulatory standards. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
There are no newly issued accounting pronouncements that have had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures for the periods covered by this Quarterly Report.
In May 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815- 40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another topic. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. We have determined the adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have a material impact on our financial statements and disclosures. |
