How a robot gets smarter

  1. Perceive

    Read the world accurately - in rain, at night, on unfamiliar sites.

  2. Learn

    Improve from interaction and demonstration, not hand-written rules.

  3. Decide

    Choose the right action in real time, as the scene keeps changing.

  4. Act

    Move safely on real hardware - vehicles, arms, production lines.

From perception through planning to control, running on real hardware
Perception and control are not separate stages for us - deep learning vision and reinforcement learning are trained as one pipeline, on real hardware.

Our approach

Intelligence in robotics does not come from perception or control alone.

We tightly couple deep learning-based vision, reinforcement learning and robot system design into one framework, so that the three improve together instead of separately.

That framework drives our work on autonomous robots, unmanned vehicles, intelligent automation systems and end-to-end learned robotic platforms.
