Embodied spatial intelligence
Drones and robots sense the world, build accurate 3D world models, and use those models to predict, decide and act. What they learn from acting flows back to update the model.
Our focus is embodied spatial intelligence: AI systems that perceive, reason about and act within physical space, for construction and infrastructure monitoring, extended to Earth and space observation.
