Research

From motion data to mechanical intelligence and real-world embodiment

Our research focuses on rigid body kinematics and machine learning for the design of robot mechanisms. We leverage analytical methods and machine learning based frameworks for the synthesis of N-bar planar mechanisms, and spatial linkages.

Core question

How can AI reason about the physical structures that make motion possible? 

Three linked fronts

 

This animation shows several mechanisms being designed by our AI-synthesis engine in MotionGen:
