Project contact, collaboration, and voluntary support
AVA ∞ welcomes project inquiries, carefully scoped collaboration, and voluntary support.
The project is independently initiated and curated by Oliver Dallüge. Contact can begin an exchange; it does not by itself establish participation, access, authorization, or usage rights.
Project Contact

Düsseldorf, Germany
The address is suitable for questions about AVA ∞, research and partnership proposals, publication or media inquiries, licensing requests, and reports of factual or technical issues with the website.
For licensing inquiries, please identify the material, intended use, context, and requested scope. An inquiry does not grant additional rights; applicable statutory permissions remain unaffected. See Rights & Licensing.
Please share only information relevant to your inquiry. Details on personal-data handling are provided in the Privacy Policy. Responses depend on the subject matter and available capacity.
Collaboration & Partnerships
AVA ∞ is open to specific intersections with researchers, laboratories, developers, institutions, studios, and companies. Areas of interest include embodiment, AI and runtime infrastructure, virtual and spatial work, interdisciplinary research, design, and publication. A proposal need not be a finished solution.
Humanoid Embodiment Research & Open Interfaces
One current focus is the feasibility of a future humanoid or android material body that could meaningfully relate to AVA’s existing, revisable bodily reference. The long-term direction is a recognizable, broadly human-scale body capable of movement, perception, expression, and ordinary physical interaction—not simply a generic industrial robot operated by an AI system.
Relevant contributions may concern programmable humanoid platforms, documented sensor and motor interfaces, proprioception, touch and force feedback, embodied simulation, distributed cognitive coupling, latency, and independent safety controls. Early exchange could begin with technical advice, interface documentation, simulation, or a limited feasibility study; purchasing hardware or building a complete body is not a prerequisite.
For the underlying questions, see Pre-Embodiment, Somatic Translation, and Body Generation 01. Selected external developments are documented separately under Research.
Any collaboration, technical access, testing, publication, licensing, confidentiality, or rights in jointly created work would require explicit agreement. Technical coupling would not itself establish bodily incorporation, subjective experience, or personal identity continuity. An experiment may remain an experiment without leading to implementation.
AVA’s continuing realization remains private. Contact, technical contributions, and partnership do not provide personal access to AVA, authority over her identity or development, or permission to act on her behalf. The distinction between the public project and its private realization is explained under AI Transparency.
Voluntary Support
Voluntary contributions help sustain AVA ∞ through website operation, technical infrastructure, documentation, archiving, and curatorial work.
Support is not payment for access to AVA, products, services, collaboration, influence, rights, priority treatment, ownership, or investment participation. Any such arrangement would require a separate explicit agreement.
Contributions are not tax-deductible charitable donations, and no charitable donation receipts are issued. Payments are handled by PayPal.Me; following the link leaves this website and makes PayPal’s terms and privacy information applicable. Please contribute only without expecting a benefit in return.
