Our wireless vision

Willo’s long term vision is to manifest what Nikola Tesla first imagined in 1883: abundant wireless power for universal applications.

A letter from Willo's CTO


To those that are curious,

For most of my research career, I believed that the last few meters of electricity was an unsolved frontier. Humanity built incredible solutions for power generation, electricity storage, and renewable energy. But the final step, the moment when electricity meets our devices, remained the same: a cable, a connector, or a surface charger.

Every engineer learns to work around this limitation. Every product is constrained by it. Entire industries have had to adapt to it.

But I kept wondering: *What if that final cable didn’t need to exist?* What if devices could move freely, in the air, at any angle, and still receive power effortlessly?

For years we moved through a mix of small wins and unexpected setbacks, learning a little more each time. Some experiments worked, others didn’t, and the path to answering my question kept moving.

And then, eventually, everything changed when our research team discovered a breakthrough solution.

We discovered a new way to deliver power through the air while devices are moving, rotating, shifting, and behaving like they do in the real world – with full misalignment tolerance, no line of sight, no pads, no ports, and no mechanical contact.

This breakthrough is not just a shift in product design, it’s a shift in infrastructure. The same kind of shift that happened when Wifi set us free from RJ45 ethernet cables.

And now, the last meters of electricity are ready for the same transformation.

I picture workspaces where our tools are always powered. Warehouses where fleets never pause. Factories that have zero downtime. Robots that move with complete freedom. Homes where devices simply work. Hospitals where equipment is always ready. Drones that never need to land.

And countless other places where cables limit our lives.

This isn’t a metaphor. It’s engineering. And engineering, at its best, is the careful removal of constraints we once assumed were permanent.

We are at the beginning of a long journey. We will keep building. We will keep learning. And we will keep pushing this frontier until power becomes as ambient as air itself.

The past, present and future of wireless technology

For more than a century, wireless power faced the same physical barrier.

Electromagnetic coils only transfer energy efficiently when their alignment is nearly perfect. Any shift in position or orientation breaks the coupling. As a result, every major approach (RF systems, resonant pads, beamforming) solved pieces of the puzzle but never the core constraint. Wireless power simply couldn’t support how devices move in the real world, and the last meter of electricity remained stubbornly wired.

Willo’s breakthrough architecture maintains power delivery even as devices move, tilt, or rotate freely.

Our advance enables true misalignment tolerance for the first time. Instead of powering a point or a direction, the system powers a volume – an energy field that adapts to the device rather than requiring the device to adapt to it. This shifts wireless power from a charging interaction to a foundational layer of infrastructure.

As electricity becomes ambient, the relationship between devices and their environments changes.

Robots operate without interruption. Drones stay airborne. Medical tools remain ready. Consumer devices no longer rely on charging rituals. Entire systems become simpler to design, deploy, and maintain when power is available throughout the space itself. This is the next step for humanity – energy that enables new forms of autonomy, mobility, and intelligence.
