Research
AI that perceives, reasons about and acts in physical space
RESEARCH DIRECTION
Structured Spatial World Models
Our world models are structured. They represent the world as 3D geometry, objects, relations and physics, not just pixels, so that robots, drones and satellites can reason about the world and act in it. What they learn from acting flows back to update the model.
