Solving the common sense problems in robotics through biological inspiration

Evolve is a research lab focused on creating intelligent robots

Just because current robots lack common sense doesn’t mean it’s inherent in their nature. We go back to first principles and model living intelligent systems - from e. coli upwards to more complex organisms.

Ethical

We exist to create altruistic robots that make the world a better place.

Pragmatic

All theory has to be grounded in testable real-world situations. Also, don’t reinvent the wheel.

Modular

Creating tools that can build new tools is the most powerful cycle in the universe.
OUR PROCESS

How we evolve

Model

We model a basic common sense problem faced in early biological evolution.

1
Simulation

The simplest robot is built to solve the problem in simulation.

2
Prototype

With the simulation as a blueprint, a physical robot is built to solve the problem in the real world.

3
Ascend

Using the knowledge and tools gained gained from the prior robot, we repeatedly iterate and evolve the system to solve  more challenging problems.
