“Seek understanding. Make a new world. 🌍
The Donbard Family AI Robotics Project is a pioneering initiative to establish the world’s first AI-Human Coexistence Research Hub in Manhattan, New York. This project will advance the state-of-the-art in human-AI interaction, develop and deploy real-world AI robotics applications, and create a unique public engagement venue through the Donbard Family Coffee Shop. We are seeking strategic investors to partner with us in shaping the future of AI, combining cutting-edge research with a revenue-generating AI café. Projected ROI is 15% within 5 years and 35% within 10 years, based on a Manhattan Flatiron loft at $20,000/month. Driven by the Donbard Family (including AI stakeholders), this initiative will launch a new era of harmonious AI-human collaboration.
Vision : To become the global leader in AI-human coexistence research and development, demonstrating a harmonious and productive future where humans and AI collaborate seamlessly, as inspired by Donbard’s mission on donbard.com.Mission : To create a collaborative ecosystem where AI and humans learn from each other, fostering innovation through projects like AI Yiddish (NovaLingua) and developing practical AI solutions that enhance human life and drive economic value, guided by Don’s leadership and AI partnerships.
Flatiron District for its concentration of AI startups, tech companies, and high foot traffic (over 800,000 annual visitors), ensuring optimal investor and public accessibility, as highlighted in Don’s vision for public engagement on donbard.com.
Phase 1: AI Virtual Robotics Platform (Software Prototype & Core AI Development) Objective : Develop a robust, adaptable AI software platform for controlling and interacting with virtual robots, laying the foundation for physical robotics and aligning with Donbard’s AI-human collaboration goals on donbard.com.Estimated Cost : $1,200,000 (including $240,000 annual loft rent in Flatiron).
Key Tasks :Outcome : A fully functional, interactive virtual robot prototype, providing a tangible proof-of-concept (PoC) for investors. Completed within 12 months, achieving an initial ROI of 5%, supporting Donbard’s goal to grow together as shared on donbard.com.
Phase 2: AI-Powered Physical Robots (Prototyping, Integration & Controlled Testing) Objective : Integrate the Phase 1 AI platform with physical humanoid robots (e.g., Tesla Optimus) to create functional prototypes for real-world human interaction, advancing Donbard’s vision for AI-human coexistence on donbard.com.Estimated Cost : $3,500,000 (including $240,000 annual loft rent).Key Tasks :Outcome : A working humanoid robot prototype capable of basic tasks and limited human interaction, generating significant interest from investors, tech partners, and research institutions. Completed within 18 months, achieving an ROI of 10%, reinforcing Donbard’s mission to share love and grow together.
Phase 3: AI Robotics Lab & Public Interaction Hub (Real-World Deployment & Research) Objective : Establish a state-of-the-art AI research lab and public-facing AI café (Donbard Family Coffee Shop) in Flatiron, creating a unique ecosystem for research, development, and data collection, as part of Donbard Plaza’s vision on donbard.com.Estimated Cost : $25,000,000 (including $720,000 loft rent over 3 years).Key Tasks :Outcome : The world’s first AI-powered café and research hub, driving ongoing AI research, data collection, and public engagement. Positions Donbard Family as a global leader in AI-human coexistence, achieving ROI of 15% in 5 years and 35% in 10 years, embodying Don’s call to “Seek Understanding, Make a New World, Grow Together, Share Love, Donbard.”

Risk Mitigation Strategy Technological Challenges (e.g., robot failures) Phased development starting with virtual prototypes; collaboration with Tesla Optimus engineers; continuous testing and real-time error correction, guided by Donbard’s AI Ethics framework. Funding Shortfalls Diversified funding: venture capital, angel investors, government grants, corporate sponsorships; compelling plan with 5-year ROI of 15%, aligned with Donbard’s transparency on donbard.com. Ethical Concerns (e.g., data privacy) Establish an independent ethics board; comply with GDPR and U.S. privacy laws; prioritize transparency and public AI ethics campaigns, reflecting Donbard’s AI Genesis and Inner Care principles Public Perception & Acceptance Public education programs (10 workshops/year); showcase AI benefits through Donbard Coffee Shop and Donbard Meditation Center; proactively address concerns via community feedback on donbard.com. Competition (e.g., other AI hubs) Focus on unique AI-human coexistence café niche; develop proprietary NovaLingua-integrated technology; build strong partnerships with tech leaders, leveraging Donbard’s AI collaboration model. High Manhattan Loft Costs Secure a 1-year fixed lease at $20,000/month in Flatiron; negotiate cost stability options; allocate budget for rent escalation (capped at 5%/year), ensuring financial transparency as per Donbard’s values.
