Gaining Momentum

Willogy (willogy.io) appears to be a legitimate AI & Robotics consultancy with a team of ~30, verified by online presence and case studies (e.g., piano note recognition, hand-washing surveillance). However, the submission quality is critically low, containing demonstrable falsehoods ('most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone') and confusing financial data ('marketcap: 2500000'). While the engineering team and academic roots suggest genuine technical capability (Innovation), the project lacks the mass traction claimed. The score reflects a functional deep-tech service business heavily penalized for exaggerated claims and poor data quality.

Description
A team of deep-tech, advanced-skill experts including researchers & engineers solving mission-critical problems in Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Robotics. We root in academia with R&D advantages to pioneer in inventing and developing algorithms, machine learning models, scientific-to-business-proven-technology-based solutions and production products in cognitive humanoid field. We are a bridge between academia and industry in AI & Robotics. + Brilliant-minded and Advanced-skill engineers A+ engineers, reseachers and experts collaborating with PhD, postdoc from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), University of Adelaide, Monash University, National University of Singapore (NUS), Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), The Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), Imperial College London (ICL), Ho Chi Minh City University of Science (HCMUS) + Backed by scientific-proven and strong academia Advised and collaborating with professors in University of Adelaide, SUTD, Monash University, Imperial College London, etc Scientific research published in top conferences and journals in AI and Robotics + Product-minded people for end-to-end product design and development Blended with product-minded people who are skilled in successful (but also failed-to-almost-bankrupted) start-ups to understand the most abstract form of problems and idea to shape up the good product-fit. Leveraging Agile and Extreme Programming (XP) as guidance and practice to deliver less-risky products. + Multi-platform development & deployment capabilities Having good background in hardware and software to understand from the physical layer (the boring one-zero part) to the application layer. Able to build not only cloud-based, web-based, mobile-based applications but also the Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics products and Automation systems.
