# IA_AUT_ECO: The Fabless Architecture for Augmented Autonomy
|
| 13 |
+
|
| 14 |
+
**"Let's be Useful."**
|
| 15 |
+
|
| 16 |
+
IA_AUT_ECO is a French Deep Tech company dedicated to redefining assistive technology. We operate on a **Fabless model**: we design the sovereign architecture, the secure software, and the hardware standards, while certifying partners for manufacturing.
|
| 17 |
+
|
| 18 |
+
Our mission is to build the **Winterhold Ecosystem**: a secure, open-source, and ethical foundation for the autonomy of disabled and invalid persons. We provide the "Brain" and the "Nervous System" for the next generation of assistive robotics.
