THE_CHALLENGE
Move, pick, and pack millions of SKUs per day
Modern logistics, manufacturing, and retail facilities face high-dimensional, stochastic settings: mixed pallets, uncertain perception, variable friction.
Traditional motion-planning and rule-based control break down.
We solve: autonomous manipulation and navigation under uncertainty, learning control policies that generalize across tasks, layouts, and robot morphologies.
