A message from the CEO

A foundation for trusted autonomy.

As technology becomes more capable, we need a clear understanding of what a system is authorised to do. I believe this is one of the foundations of trust in AI and autonomous systems.

That trust depends on more than fast decisions or reliable connectivity. It also depends on who authorised an action, what that authority covers and the conditions under which it remains valid. Those limits need to hold where action takes place.

At D-Code, we develop this philosophy through the AEGIS architecture. Its design goal is to keep accepted commands within pre-authorised limits as connectivity and supporting evidence degrade, preserving the operator’s authority at the point of execution.

We also look carefully at the technical knowledge accumulated in research and patent literature. By selecting useful foundations, revisiting their assumptions and connecting them with original IP, we aim to build an architecture that addresses present-day implementation needs.

We aim to bring this approach to autonomous platforms and robotics, critical infrastructure such as water and energy, and satellite and space systems. Each application must be shaped by its own operating conditions and safety requirements, with clear criteria that adopters can evaluate.

Our role is to develop original IP and a clear architectural foundation, then work with partners who can carry it into their platforms. Through scoped IP licensing and partner-funded integration, we aim to make technology developed in Japan useful in demanding environments around the world.
