Software
Local-first tools, CLIs, and interfaces where the code stays close to the evidence.
Technology lab · Italy
Build in the open.
Independent technology lab building software, AI, robotics and open-source systems.
ONISCOR ships public systems in AI security, embodied agents, and planetary data — with source code, case studies, and running interfaces.
ONISCOR
Current focusVSArena — open browser arena for Vision-Language-Action agents, Studio v0.5.0.
Three systemsVSArena, NovaCheck, and B.E.A.C.O.N — each with a written case study.
IndependentNo ads, no accounts. Inspect the work, open an issue, or reuse what is useful.
AI
Security for AI-generated code, evaluation harnesses, and systems you can inspect.
Robotics
Public arenas for embodied agents — scored in the open, not in private sims.
Open source
Repositories, live instances, and case studies published for review and reuse.
Lab
Selected work.
Each project has a case study, source code, and a running interface or CLI.
Embodied AI · Studio v0.5.0
VSArena
A browser work-cell and evaluation harness for Vision-Language-Action policies. Agents see RGB and a language instruction, act over WebSocket, and earn public ELO only through a trusted harness — never from the browser.
Security CLI · v0.5.0
NovaCheck
A local-first CLI for hallucinated and typosquatted dependencies in AI-generated code. It checks manifests, imports, and the install commands written in docs and agent files, then scores the rest of the same commit: secrets, sinks, supply-chain scripts, and explicit AI provenance.
Planetary science · 2026
B.E.A.C.O.N
Bayesian Earth-impact Assessment & Cross-source Observation Network. It retrieves JPL CAD, JPL Sentry, and ESA NEOCC data, matches the same objects, and shows source values side by side—without averaging or inventing a proprietary risk score.
About
An independent lab.
ONISCOR is an independent technology lab. We ship software where the code stays close to the evidence: security tools that show their findings, scientific interfaces that preserve their sources, and simulations that explain their limits.
The work spans a local-first scanner for hallucinated dependencies, an open arena for embodied agents, and a comparison layer for JPL and ESA near-Earth object data.
Founder
Aran Kair
Founder, ONISCOR
Aran Kair is an independent technologist building software, AI, and robotics systems. He founded ONISCOR to publish that work in the open — with case studies, source code, and running interfaces instead of closed demos.
The current public stack — VSArena, NovaCheck, and B.E.A.C.O.N — is designed to be inspected, forked, and argued with. The lab stays small on purpose: one founder, public repos, direct contact.

We are an independent lab, not a constituted company. Every note is read directly by the team.
Open source
Inspect the work.
Repositories, packages, and live instances are public where the work benefits from review. Read the code, open an issue, or reuse what is useful.
