XTEND’s NEST enables robotic systems to autonomously deploy, recover and recharge, supporting persistent operations with reduced human intervention

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- XTEND AI Robotics, Inc. (NYSE: XTND), a leader in software systems and Physical AI, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted U.S. Design Patent No. D1,147,179 for NEST, XTEND's autonomous base station for persistent robotic operations. The design patent issued on September 8, 2026.

Powered by XTEND's proprietary XOS operating system, the NEST enables robotic systems to autonomously launch, execute missions, recover and recharge, creating a persistent operational cycle that can be remotely managed with reduced human intervention.

The NEST provides the infrastructure required to keep robotic systems deployed and mission-ready for extended operations. Multiple systems can be coordinated across distributed locations, supporting persistent situational awareness and scalable robotic coverage while reducing the need to position personnel in forward or high-risk environments.

The U.S. design patent protects the ornamental design of the NEST's physical configuration. The grant expands XTEND's intellectual property portfolio as the company continues to develop the software, robotic platforms and supporting infrastructure required to deploy autonomous robotic workforces at scale.

“The NEST extends autonomy beyond the robot itself,” said Aviv Shapira, Co-Founder and CEO of XTEND. “A robotic workforce needs more than autonomous machines. It needs the infrastructure that allows those machines to remain deployed, mission-ready and connected over time. The NEST is an important part of that infrastructure, helping us build persistent Physical AI systems that can operate where sending people would create unnecessary risk.”

The patent adds to XTEND's intellectual property portfolio as the company continues to develop the software, robotic platforms and infrastructure required to deploy autonomous robotic workforces at scale.

Key Terms

design patent regulatory

A design patent protects the unique, ornamental look of a product — its shape, surface decoration or overall appearance — rather than how the product works. For investors this matters because control over a product’s distinctive look can preserve brand recognition, support higher prices and create a barrier to copycats, affecting future sales, margins and legal exposure much like owning the exclusive design for a popular piece of consumer packaging or gadget.
