Research

Researching intelligence beyond the digital environment.

Our research addresses the gap between systems that can reason about the world and systems that can operate reliably within it.

We study how multimodal models, physical agents, efficient computing systems and human interfaces can work together under changing conditions and incomplete information.

Five questions

Our research agenda.

  1. 01

    How can models build useful representations of complex physical environments?

  2. 02

    How can systems reason over spatial and temporal change?

  3. 03

    How can machines learn from demonstrations, interventions and failures?

  4. 04

    How can advanced models operate efficiently on constrained edge hardware?

  5. 05

    How should physical-intelligence systems be evaluated and governed?

Field methodology

Research measured through conditions, interventions and outcomes.

Physical intelligence cannot be evaluated from a single curated image or demonstration. Our intended methodology connects environment, task, observation, model behavior, human intervention, physical action and subsequent outcome.

Public claims will be tied to a named protocol, version, evidence basis and stated limitations.
